                    Text Box: Keep an eye on Vision Many people consider vision to be their most valuable sense, yet not everyone takes care of their eyes as well as they could. Regular eye exams are important to protect your vision, and to allow doctors to diagnose and treat any problems early—usually when they are most treatable. How often you should have you should have your eyes examined depends on many factors, including the state of your vision and your age.

Common activities that can lead to eyestrain include computer use, driving, and reading for extended time periods. Straining to see in dim light or looking into a bright light or a glare can also cause eyestrain Symptoms may include sore, tired, burning, itchy, watery, or dry eyes; blurred or double vision; headache, or increased sensitivity to light. Most people who use a computer regularly and for extended periods of time will experience some form of eyestrain at some point. In addition to the symptoms above, eyestrain corresponding to computer use might cause the user to have trouble focusing or to see residual spots of color when they look away from the computer monitor. You can reduce your risk for eyestrain by paying attention to your light sources and taking breaks. When working with items close up, make sure you have a light that is bright enough and directed at what your working on. It is important to note that stress and fatigue could put you at a greater risk for eyestrain. Typically, eyestrain is serious and will go away when your eyes have a chance to rest. If symptoms don't go away, they may be indicators of a more serious eye condition, and it would be wise to consult an eye doctor to determine any underlying causes.
