Good vision is a vital part of
well-being and makes up a significant factor in retaining independence
and quality of life, specially as we grow older.
However,
despite the preventable nature of most vision impairments, most
individuals tend to overlook the importance of their eye-health and do
not undergo recommended sight screenings and exams, thus remaining at
risk for eye disease and preventable eye injury. Early detection, timely
treatment and rehabilitation can ensure that eyesight is preserved and
can help identify problems early and prevent loss of eyesight. There are
often no symptoms in the early stages of eye disease, however if
individuals wait until symptoms start to occur, loss of vision may be
irreversible.
