Maintaining a well-balanced, healthy diet is KEY to keeping your eyes healthy, and may reduce your risk of developing serious eye conditions. Make sure to include foods that contain a range of vitamins, nutrients, and minerals, known as antioxidants. Examples include:

- Dark Leafy Greens

- Fish High in Omega 3s

- Nuts & Seeds

- Colourful Vegetables

What foods do you include in your diet to maintain healthy eyes? Let us know in the comments!

Contact Lenses for Teenagers

https://www.gardenoptical.ca/contact-lenses/is-your-teen-ready-for-contacts/

Q. At what age do you recommend children start with contact lenses?

A. As an optometrist, I believe that contact lenses can be worn at any age. But contacts are a privilege and not a right. There is a financial responsibility associated with contact lens wear, as well as the need for overall accountability to avoid eye health issues. Therefore, for young people, I recommend that we wait to try contacts until both the patient and parents are on board. In my experience, if the patient is not wanting contact lenses he/she will not take care of them appropriately and/or will not be successful at handling the lenses. On the flip side, the parent(s) need to agree to assume the financial responsibility of fit, follow-up, and materials; also, they must agree that their child is mature enough to take care of the contacts on his/her own.
