Sight is one of our most valued senses, so here’s how to protect your precious peepers
To ensure good sight, you need to take care of your eyes. Yet for many people, it’s something we take for granted. Here’s what you need to know to ensure good vision for life.
Go For Regular Checkups
The most vital thing you can do for your eye health is have a comprehensive examination every two years – even if you think you’re seeing well. That’s because most eye diseases can only be detected by specialised equipment that looks at the front and into the back of your eyes.
“For good eye health, start with regular eye exams with your optometrist,” advises Chui Wen Juan, optometrist and singapore Optometric Association (SOA) Councillor. “A comprehensive eye exam is more than just a test on the eye chart. Your optometrist will be able to advise you on the state of your eyes and advise you on intervention and preventative measures.” The SOA recommends that those between the ages of 16 and 60 should have an eye checkup every two years.
