Our lifestyle factors can affect our overall health and well-being. The choices we make every day can impact how well we age, and that includes our eyes. In some cases, we may not even be aware of how the choices we make affect both how our eyes look and our vision.

The good news is most people can take steps to change lifestyle factors that may adversely affect their eyes. The first step is recognizing things that may affect your eyes.

For many people, springtime signals the start of eye allergies. Eye allergy symptoms can range from mild to extremely bothersome. One of the most common symptoms of eye allergies is itchy eyes. Keep reading below for more information on how to deal with this pesky allergy symptom. 

It is normal to experience some changes to your body as your age, but what about the eyes? Is it normal to have vision changes when we hit our 50s? The answer is yes and no.

Knowing more about how your vision changes in your 50s and how to maintain good eye health helps decrease the risk of eye problems.
