Understanding Vision Problems -- Prevention

Preventive eye care is the first line of defense against vision problems. Early detection of visual impairment may provide a more effective treatment option:

Smoking is a major risk factor for the onset of macular degeneration. If you are suffering from diabetes, you need to schedule periodic eye examination and monitor your blood sugar level carefully.
