You know how important it is to keep up with your eye health. Eye disease can be devasting, causing severe pain, disfigurement, and serious vision problems including blindness. Romanoff Vision is here to help. We serve residents in Sylvania and Toledo, OH, and Monroe County, Bedford, Temperance, and Lambertville, MI.

We suggest these steps to prevent eye disease.

Schedule a Regular Eye Exam

A yearly check-up is a good way to make sure there are no small issues with your eyes that can turn into bigger problems down the road. Eye care professionals look at different parts of your eye to determine if there is damage.

Follow the Rules After Eye Surgery

A lot of eye infections occur because people take shortcuts with their eye care after having surgery or another eye procedure. Follow your doctor's orders when it comes to cleaning the area, using eye drops, and taking other medication. If you are having issues after eye surgery, do not hesitate to call your eye doctor's office. It's much easier to fix problems earlier than later.

Eat Right and Exercise

You're probably tired of hearing this advice, but the truth is that heart disease and diabetes are two of the leading causes of eye disease. High blood pressure can constrict the blood vessels around your eyes, making them more prone to bulging and dislocation. Controlling your diet and exercising regularly will help keep these conditions in check, and lower your risk of having serious eye problems down the road.

Keep Your Hands Clean 

Most eye infections are introduced to the eye through touching the face. Wash your hands often and try to touch your face less often.
