A new study used artificial intelligence to analyze thousands of eye images and found that Meibomian gland appearance (which helps keep your eyes comfortable) varies by age and ethnicity, but not by s*x or contact lens use.

When was your last eye exam? If it’s been a while, here’s why it matters: Regular eye exams are the only way to detect glaucoma early.

Glaucoma often has no symptoms until vision loss starts to set in. But catching it early means treatment can help you preserve your sight. And if you have a close family member with glaucoma, you’re 10 times more likely to get it.

Don’t wait for symptoms. A simple eye exam could protect your vision for years to come.
