I wear contact lens & when I wear makeup my contacts kinda hurt & get uncomfortable. I only buy eye-makeup that says “suitable for contact lens wearers” but it still does this. What can I do so my eyes are comfortable all day without me having to stop wearing eyemakeup?
I know it’s the eye-makeup because when I’m at home and I don’t wear makeup, my eyes are fine!

I want to play hockey but I wear eye glasses to see objects far away. I would like to know if there are any visors that can help with this problem or will I have to get contact lenses. How have others gone about this problem?

Like every other part of our bodies our eyes are also subject to wear and tear be it from the ultra violet rays of the sun, pollution and dust in the air, transmittable diseases or stress from looking at a computer screen all day.

Most of us go to our family doctors to undertake a physical exam to see how our overall health is. Other people take their health for granted. Why is it then that many of us disregard our eyesight. To guarantee healthy and normal vision, an annual visit to your eye doctor for your eye care exam is necessary.

Your eyes are like your windows to the world, Our brain receives sensory information daily from our eyes therefore keeping them in an optimum shape will ensure proper signals being received by the brain and consequent action and reactions. If your vision is sub par this will obviously affect your life performance.

Eye care exams should start from a very early age, babies of 2-6 months should have their eyes checked to correct any abnormalities, children entering primary school and again when entering secondary school should undergo eye care exams which will also detect any vision problems and corrective action can be taken to rectify the problem.

As we get older it is of vital importance to have an eye care exam performed yearly because every time you visit your eye doctor they will evaluate any changes in your vision system and they can help you correct any difficulties that you may have with your sight. Early diagnosis of any potential problems will decrease the chance of severe damage to our sight.

Elderly citizens are more susceptible to vision loss, they should be aware that the probability of having vision disorders increases with age. The threat is still there even though you might not be experiencing any problem, therefore you should visit your eye doctor regularly for an eye care exam.

An eye care exam is a painless and informative method for the assessment of your eyes. The eye doctors will test your visual acuity, which is the clarity of your vision. During the eye care exam, the doctor will also check the muscles of the eyes, eye pressure, fluid circulation, retina and general condition of your eyes.. The routine eye examination is not painful or uncomfortable.

Eye Care Exam Doctors

Doctor’s who specialize in the comprehensive care of the eyes and visual system in the prevention of eye disease injury is the ophthalmologist. They are medically trained specialists who can deliver total eye care exams, primary, secondary and tertiary care services and diagnose general diseases of the eyes.

Whereas the health care professional who provides only primary care services is the optometrist. Services included are the comprehensive eye health and vision examinations: treatment and diagnosis of the vision disorders and eye diseases; the detection of general health problems; they prescribe the glasses, contact lenses, vision therapy, low vision rehabilitation and medications.

How Often Should You Have An Eye Care Exam?

If you note that you are having eye difficulty, pain or visual disturbances or any other problem in the eyes, you should immediately see an eye doctor. However, if you are in good health and no known ailments, no vision problems, you can have an eye exam every two to four years provided your age is below forty. For people with diabetes, you need frequent eye examinations to maintain good eye health.

Remember prevention is better than a cure, so make sure you are aware of your vision and if you note any deterioration get on down and have an eye care exam.

Looking after your eyes is vital to your overall health and well-being and there are various things that you can do to ensure they function correctly, even into old age. This is vita - try to imagine how you would cope without your eyesight! So, ask yourself this question, “Do you know your eye care associates?”

Eye Care Associates: who are they and what do they do?

First up, is the ophthalmologist. This professional deals with medical eye care and is the person who you should see in connection with eye diseases or injury - they deal with the visual system. They provide primary, secondary and tertiary eye care services. They are highly-trained individuals who have gone through nearly twelve years of pre-med and medical school:

1. Specialized training for the eye.
2. Surgical training.
3. Passed a state board examination.

Quite a requirement, isn’t it? Once they’ve gone through this training they are then qualified to practice a wide spectrum of eye care services. Because of the strenuous requirements of their profession you can be assured of a first-class service from somebody who knows what they are talking about.

Other eye care associates include the optometrist. This is a professional who is trained to treat and diagnose certain eye problems and diseases. They don’t, however, attend a medical school for their training, but they do go to a college of optometry where they receive a degree. Their main duties, once qualified, are to determine visual problems and visual acuity. If you find that you need contact lenses or glasses, then they are the ones who will give you a prescription. Also, they are trained to dispense medication for certain eye problems as well as provide vision therapy, low vision aids and eye exercises.

Finally, everybody has heard of the optician. This professional works with the optometrist and ophthalmologist in order to provide vision care services. Their training consists of a technical course lasting for two years. During this course, they learn to dispense, repair, adjust and reproduce frames, contact lenses and glasses.

So, together, these three eye care associates provide a comprehensive level of service for those in need of eye care services.

Basic Eye Care

Always remember that your eyes are extremely fragile and easily damaged. Eye care associates always recommend that you avoid rubbing your eyes harshly, especially when you have something caught in them (grit, etc). This could easily scratch the cornea and lead to future eye problems. Also, first thing in the morning, you should wash your face gently to soften the crust in your eyes for the same reason.

Also, bear in mind that if you have eye, or vision, problems, you should see immediately, an eye doctor. If you have no vision problems, then it is still recommended to have an eye examination every two to four years if you are, shall we say, getting on a bit! Folks suffering from diabetes should have frequent eye examinations to maintain a healthy vision and optimal eye care.
