It is through our eyes that we experience the beauty of the mountains, the smile of a loved one, and our favorite movie. Good vision is essential for many of us to live an engaging and fruitful life. But eye care is one aspect of health that can fall to the wayside until it is too late.

Eye care is an integral part of maintaining a healthy lifestyle for all individuals. Our eyesight is essential for many of the things we do in life, from work or hobbies to enjoying time with loved ones. It is no surprise, then, that it can be a common topic of discussion when it comes to healthcare.

Some eye conditions are entirely out of our hands, whether from genetics or age. However, there are many eye diseases that can be prevented or managed with proper eye care habits. In the modern world, there are a number of everyday bad habits that can actively increase the risk of developing eye disease.

It feels like we just started the new year, and February is almost gone. Many New Year’s resolutions focus on improving ourselves and can come and go by this time already. But don’t let that focus slide as we move into the month of caring and love. Take time to show yourself and your health some extra care.
