Baby Boomers have taken the fear, the stigma out of aging. There has never been a time where aging has actually become fun, become a time to enjoy life and family to the fullest.

I know of a retired couple that will be sailing around the world for 4 years

But, we still can’t ignore our health, and that includes our vision / eye health. Here are 6 tips and facts to get you thinking about your vision care.

And, just as you exercise your body, take vitamins for your body, you can do the same for your eyes!

1 OK, so you say your eyes are fine, no problems, no issues, so why go to an eye doctor?

But, just think about this: There are eye diseases that have no symptoms and can only be detected at the beginning stages by your eye doctor. Eye exams need to be a part of your total health care. Your eyes are more than a window into your soul, they are a window into your health condition too.

2 One day, you notice that there seems to be a blind spot right in the middle of your vision. Do you think you need to see your eye doctor?

Absolutely, YES! You do need to call and see your eye doctor right away. A blur, or smudge or blind spot in the center of your vision could mean macular degeneration. This is serious, don’t fool around with this symptom!

3 Have you ever gone to an occasion, wearing black, and matched it with something dark blue? Like socks, purses, belts (not meaning to, that is)? What’s up with that? Is something wrong?

It is very normal and is actually part of aging. But, even though you shouldn’t worry, if you do have abnormal color changes in your eyes, see your doctor.

4 One day you happen to notice that you have little spots, threads, or mini clouds that are just floating across your vision… Are they harmless, could there be a problem, or what?

Mostly, they are floaters and harmless. But, it could also mean an eye problem, so guess what? You do need to check it out, but 10 to 1, they are just floaters. A normal part of vision aging.

5 If ever you have double vision. Go to your doctor immediately.

6 Going to a movie, or, going from bright to dark, as you get older, it will take your eyes longer to adjust. The younger, the faster. Your eyes will dilate and constrict slower as you age.

You would prepare yourself with questions to ask your doctor on a visit, so, it is a good idea to do that with your eye doctor also.

So as always, make yourself a note.

Here are a couple of questions you may want to ask, think about others before you go and write them down.

You want to know about risk factors

1 – What about risk factors due to family history, environmental at home or work, age, even ethnic factors.

2 – If there is risk, is there anything I can do now to avoid these possibilities…. such as lifestyle changes?

Do you already have any kind of symptoms now that you must tell your eye doctor?

It is imperative that you tell your doctor of any vision changes and symptoms and discuss these with him.

And what about those eye tests?

Ask which eye tests you should have at your age and with your risk factors. Ask exactly what these eye tests will reveal?

Are there any changes from your last tests, and are they improved or worse? Again, ask if there is anything you can do to help manage your vision care.

Ask what other tests he/she may recommend, and why, and when you should take them?

And do not forget to ask a question we often forget…are there any side effects from these tests?

Treatments

So, on top of anything you can do to manage any eye problems, what else can be medically done?

Is there anything such as medicines, foods, or activities that need to be avoided?

And, finally,

Become proactive in your own vision care, and alongside your medical eye doctor, also look to complement him with natural ways to help manage your vision.

There are some known risk factors for macular degeneration. Smoking may increase your chances of developing the condition and also seems to speed up its progress. One of the first things that the doctor tells you is to stop smoking if you do smoke. Also, high cholesterol levels, and high blood pressure, obesity, and a poor diet that is lacking in dark green leafy vegetables and omega-3 fatty acids also seems to be associated with macular degeneration. Women seem to be at a higher risk than men.

Since four main conditions are consistently associated with AMD: as previously menetioned, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, being overweight and inflammation. Exercise can lower every one of them.

We can’t modify our age or our genetics but we can modify diet and lifestyle.

We know how good walking is for our body, and even our mind. But,it can be good for our eyesight? It can help with the youthfulness of our eyes as well as our body?

Well, it seems to be that way. Those of us (and yes, I love walking) who walk 3 times minimum in a week are not as likely to get the wet AMD, or, age related macular degeneration. There are many posts about this aging condition of the eye on this blog. It is a disease that takes away the vision from the center of the eye, hence, it is very difficult to recognize anyone when you have this disease. Because the faces of anyone you look at will be blurred. It blurs, or erases central vision.

So Walk To See Better

In North America, AMD is the most common cause of blindness in those over 60. There are 2 forms: One is dry (which is not treatable) and one wet AMD. It is established the certain eye vitamins may help slow down / or even avoid this AMD. Apparently, regular walking can help avoid this condition also.

So get out and walk, take your dog, your friends, your family and walk

According to PreventBlindness.org, “accidents involving common household products cause 125,000 eye injuries each year.”

So, this year, follow these safety tips to help make your home “easy on the eyes” in more ways than one.

Household Chemicals

Read and follow all manufacturer instructions and warning labels.

Never mix cleaners.

Use cleaners where you don’t have to “Wear chemical safety goggles“. Except, of course if you are using hazardous, such as fertilizers and pesticides.

Wash your hands after using household chemicals.

When possible, and most of the time it is, use cleaning products made from natural ingredients that can be used and disposed of safely.

Always make sure that the nozzle is away from your face, and everyone elses face.

Did you know that simply by taking a couple of small steps to protect the planet, you can also help to ensure the health of your family?

Our signature line of environmentally-friendly cleaning products is a more natural alternative to harsh conventional cleaning product lines, which often contain chemicals that can negatively impact the air quality of your home and the long-term quality of our water supply.

Although our cleaning products are industrial-strength, they are safe for use in the home. Additionally, these products represent the latest in microbial technology, with friendly bacteria that eliminate the organic wastes that cause odor, rather than just masking the smell.

We’ve also adopted a new strategy to reduce the amount of plastic waste entering our already overburdened landfills. We use plastic containers that are very dense, so they can be used over and over again. Additionally, our superior-grade sprayer nozzles are built to last, enduring repeated use.

If you’re looking for environmentally-friendly cleaning products that are pet-safe, child-safe and effective, look no further!

Did you know that March is National Save Your Vision Month? This is a really good time for us all to re-establish good vision habits. Here are a few tips and ideas for your vision, eye health.

#1 – When You Think Nutrition, Don’t Forget Your Eyes!

There have been many researches and studies done about nutrition and your eyes. Omega 3 fish oil fatty acids are noted as “the miracle food of this century” Omega 3 helps protect against cataracts, against glaucoma, and against age-related macular degeneration. Omega 3 also helps against dry eyes and boosts your overall cardiovascular health.

There is a concern about toxins in fish. And even doctor Oz recommends taking a supplement. Check out this blog, Review Omega 3 for purity and highest quality omega 3 fish oil supplement.

#2 – Exercise Your Body Parts, and Exercise Your Eyes

Yes, eye exercises have been around for over 100 years in the west, but, in the east, they have been around for many, many years, included in many yoga programs. Check out this Improve Your Vision System.

#3 – Watch Out For Computer Eye Stress

Near-point activities (like anything where you focus close to your eyes, for long periods) like computer use and reading are reported by the American Optometric Association as one of the leading causes of vision loss. In fact, computer use can be so damaging to the eyes, there is a name for it: Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). Among the symptoms of CVS are tired and sore eyes, headaches, dry and red eyes, slowness in changing the focus of your eyes, periodic blurred near vision, and occasional blurred distance vision. It can even cause permanent vision damage.

There are ways you can prevent and help against vision loss. Every time you are performing close vision work for over 10 consecutive minutes, look up and focus on anything else that is at least 10 feet away, for at least 10 seconds. This vision break is called the “10-10-10″ rule. Again, after 10 minutes look at something (the best is something green) at least 10 feet away for 10 seconds. It bears repeating.

A short summary and explanation of Macular Degeneration, Wet and Dry.  Please, always go for regular vision checkups, early detection is always the best.

AMD, or Age Related Macular Degeneration, affects the macula,which is the middle part of the retina that allows the eye to see fine details. (The retina is a light-sensitive tissue lining the inner surface of the eye. The optics of the eye create an image of the visual world on the retina, which serves much the same function as the film in a camera.) There are two forms of AMD: wet and dry. Although dry is by far the most common form, unfortunately drugs are only available for wet AMD.

Wet AMD

The “wet” form of advanced AMD, causes vision loss due to abnormal blood vessel growth ultimately leading to blood and protein leakage below the macula. Bleeding, leaking, and scarring from these blood vessels eventually cause irreversible damage to the photoreceptors and rapid vision loss if left untreated.

Dry AMD

Central geographic atrophy, the “dry” form of advanced AMD, results from atrophy to the retinal pigment epithelial layer below the retina, which causes vision loss through loss of photoreceptors (rods and cones) in the central part of the eye. No medical or surgical treatment is available for this condition, however vitamin supplements with high doses of antioxidants, lutein and zeaxanthin, have been suggested by the National Eye Institute and others to slow the progression of dry macular degeneration and, in some patients, improve visual acuity. (To improve eyesight)

The number of people with AMD worldwide is going up every year.

When it comes to your eyes and the vegetables that are good for your eyes, most people will answer carrots. And yes, that is very true, but, it’s not the only veggie that is good for your eyes.  There are other fruits and vegetables that will enhance your eyesight and they will also be good for your heart.  So, here are three vision-boosting vegetables: spinach, kale, and sweet potatoes. And, don’t forget, there are others, but, for now, let’s discover these.

Spinach

According to the American Optometric Association’s 2008 American Eye-Q survey, they have discovered that only 29% of Americans actually use nutrition as a tool to deal with vision loss or other eye problems. Actually, I am surprised that this number is so high to tell you the truth.  Very few people think of vitamins or minerals as being good for the eyes (other than carrots, of course)

This survey shows, and it is no surprise, that most Americans still think the good old carrot is best for your eyes. But spinach and other dark, leafy greens, like Kale (I know that for years already being European born)  prove to be one of the healthiest foods for eyes. These vegetable naturally contain large amounts of lutein and zeaxanthin, two antioxidants essential to good vision.

Spinach actually has virtually the same amount of beta carotene as carrots, it does have more lutein and more zeaxanthin. These reduce the risk for age-related macular degeneration, which affects approximately 43 million Americans.
Spinach also helps decrease the risk for forming cataracts in the eye.

Kale
Likewise, kale, a staple in Germany where I come from, is a form of cabbage, it is loaded with vitamin A, with vitamin C, and the very popular vitamin B6 and the lesser known manganese.  Kale is a great source of dietary, vitamins and minerals.   In fact, according to the World’s Healthiest Foods newsletter, “Kale has more nutritional value for fewer calories than almost any other food around.”

Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes, are rich in complex carbohydrates, in calcium, a source of dietary fiber, and yes, even beta carotene, with vitamin C, and evern vitamin B6.
It is extremely high in nutritional value.
The antioxidant is in the potato skin.  It is almost three times more than the rest of the tissue. This is one reason to purchase organically grown sweet potatoes.  And bake or boil them, so you can eat the whole potato, skin and all

Dr. Stuart Richer, optometrist and the American Optometric Association’s vision and nutrition expert, says, “Clinical research has shown that nutrients in eye-healthy foods can slow vision loss.

The Ocu-Plus Formula is a proprietary blend of 17 nutrients that research has shown are essential in improving the clarity of your eyesight and protecting your visual system. It was specifically designed to improve and support your vision health and help protect against potentially blinding eye diseases.
