VIEWS FOR 20/20 by Dr. Mark Skowron and Dr. Michelle Skowron PREVENTING VISION LOSS Vision loss may be caused by several eye diseases and conditions, eye trauma, and the natural aging process. There are some simple measures you can take to proactively protect your vision and eye health. UV rays damage eyesight, so wear sunglasses and brimmed hats while outdoors. Home improvement projects are a common cause of eye injuries, as are contact sports, so eye protection is recommended when engaging in these types of activities. If you're over age 40 or you've noticed changes in your vision, it's important to have an eye exam and to follow your doctor's recommendations about how often to have follow-up appointments. Regular exams with your general practitioner also help catch conditions that lead to vision loss. SKOWRON EYE CARE has been providing personal, cutting-edge eye care for patients in the Western suburbs since 1983. Experience, commitment to technology, and a genuine concern for patient welfare enable all of our doctors and our highly qualified staff to work together as a team to consistently deliver quality, affordable eye care. At Skowron Eye Care, our mission is your vision. P.S. Sports such as racquetball, tennis, and squash are common cause of eye trauma, which can be prevented by wearing protective eyewear.
