☀️With the beautiful sunny days we've been enjoying lately, it's the perfect reminder to protect your eyes with proper UV protection whenever you're outdoors.

🕶️UV protection isn't just about skin--it's essential for your eyes, too. Long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light is a known risk factor for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss in adults over 50.

👀Protect your eyes year-round by wearing sunglasses that block UV rays, adding a wide-brim hat, and scheduling regular comprehensive eye exams.

Small habits today can help protect your vision for the future.

February is Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Awareness Month 👁️

Age-related macular degeneration is one of the leading causes of vision loss in adults over 50. The early stages often have no noticeable symptoms, which is why routine eye exams are critical for protecting long-term vision.

Know the risk factors:
• Age 50+
• Family history of AMD
• Smoking
• High blood pressure or heart disease

Protect your sight:
✔ Schedule comprehensive eye exams regularly
✔ Eat a diet rich in leafy greens and omega-3s
✔ Wear UV-protective sunglasses
✔ Quit smoking and manage overall health

Early detection can slow progression and preserve vision. Share this post to help raise awareness and encourage loved ones to prioritize their eye health.

As an optometrist, the recent recall of several over-the-counter eye drops by AvKARE due to potential sterility issues raises a significant concern for patient safety. We always emphasize the importance of using sterile products for the eyes to prevent infections and other complications. AvKare products are not a brand that Dr. Olson recommends in office, however it may be one that you or someone you know has purchased over the counter. Patients who have been using the affected solutions should immediately discontinue their use and follow the instructions provided on the AvKARE website for returns and refunds. It's crucial to be vigilant about product recalls and to prioritize the health and safety of your eyes. If you experience any discomfort or signs of infection, please consult your eye doctor immediately.
