Eye care

What Is Eye Care & Why Is It Important?

Eye care involves protecting, treating, and maintaining eye health to prevent discomfort, infections, and vision problems. Factors like screen time, allergies, infections, aging, and medical conditions can impact eye health, making proper care essential.

Common Eye Conditions:

  • Dry Eyes: Reduced tear production or poor-quality tears cause irritation.
  • Eye Infections: Bacterial or viral infections lead to redness, itching, or discharge.
  • Allergic Reactions: Pollen, dust, or pet dander can cause eye allergies.
  • Glaucoma: Increased eye pressure damages the optic nerve, leading to vision loss.
  • Cataracts & Age-Related Vision Loss: Clouding of the eye lens or gradual vision decline.

Who Needs Eye Care Treatment?

Eye care is important for those who:

  • Experience dry, irritated, or itchy eyes.
  • Have frequent eye infections or allergies.
  • Suffer from blurred vision or light sensitivity.
  • Are at risk of glaucoma or other eye diseases.
  • Spend long hours on screens or in dry environments.

Best Ways to Treat & Maintain Eye Health

Proper eye care includes medications, eye drops, and daily habits to prevent discomfort and maintain vision clarity.

Eye Drops for Dry Eyes & Lubrication:
  • Artificial tears: Hydrate and relieve dryness (Artelac, Celluvisc, Hylo DE, Duratears).
  • Vitamin-enriched eye supplements: Promote eye health (Vitalux).
Medications for Eye Infections & Allergies:
  • Antibiotic eye drops: Treat bacterial infections (Gentamicine, Azyter, Posifenicol, Sofradex).
  • Anti-allergy drops: Reduce redness and irritation from allergens (Opatanol).
Glaucoma & Vision Protection:
  • Prescription eye drops to lower eye pressure: Help prevent vision loss (Lumigan).
Daily Habits for Better Eye Health:
  • Follow the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds) to reduce screen strain.
  • Wear sunglasses to protect eyes from UV damage.
  • Stay hydrated to support tear production and prevent dryness.

A consistent eye care routine can:

  • Improve vision clarity and overall eye comfort.
