SMOKING AND VA**NG CAN WORSEN AGE-RELATED MACULAR DEGENERATION

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eye disease that causes blurred central vision. It happens when aging causes damage to the macula, the part of the eye that controls sharp, straight-ahead vision. AMD is a leading cause of vision loss in people 50 years or older.

Studies show that smokers and former smokers are more likely to develop AMD than people who never smoked.

Consult your ophthalmologist for more information.

PREVENT SORE EYES THIS DRY SEASON

The Department of Health (DOH) has warned the public about sore eyes, one of the common ailments during the dry months of summer. Here are some steps you can take to prevent sore eyes:

✅ Minimize exposure to direct sunlight, particularly during midday, to reduce the risk of contracting sore eyes and other seasonal illnesses.
Wear eyeglasses or sunglasses on windy days to protect your eyes from foreign particles.
✅ Wash hands frequently and thoroughly with soap and water. Minimize hand-to-eye contact.
✅ Use your own towels, eyedrops, makeup and sunglasses.
✅ Disinfect surfaces, doorknobs, counters, elevator buttons, and handrails with dilute bleach solution.
✅ Avoid crowded places.
✅ Wash clothes, towels, pillowcases, and anything else which may have come in contact with a person with sore eyes.

Talk to your ophthalmologist for more information about sore eyes prevention.
