At Steck Eye Care, LLC we recommend the following tips for preventing serious eye injuries:

 
 


Know your risk factors for eye diseases and see an ophthalmologist at regular intervals. A yearly eye exam is a must.

Always wear sunglasses that block 99-100% of UV-A and UV-B rays when outdoors for extended periods, particularly if you spend time in the snow or water.

If you wear contact lenses, apply cosmetics after inserting lenses. This helps prevent stray makeup from getting under the lens and irratating your eyes.

Always wear eye protection when in areas that could propell obejects, dust or debri into your eyes. For example, while woodworking, metalworking, or remodelling.

Working on a computer can cause eyestrain. Take periodic breaks to rest your eyes. Place your screen at or below eye level.
