Dear Reader,

For being such a small part of your body, your eyes play an exceptional role in your life. The vision your eyes provide helps you experience the shapes, colors and motions of your surroundings. It stimulates your creativity and appreciation of beauty. It alerts you to danger and the unexpected. You rely on vision to explore, develop, learn and much more.

As we age, our eyes become more susceptible to common conditions like age-related macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and cataracts. Even younger adults can suffer from painful eye conditions like dry eyes, infected tear ducts, styes, floaters, pink eye, and eye strain. Fortunately, many of these conditions are preventable, treatable, and even reversible.

Given how much you depend on your sight every day, it’s essential to keep your eyes as healthy as you can.
