Did you know that human eyes develop until age 7? If you have young children, here’s your reminder to take them for regular eye checks with a pediatrician or optometrist!
In this episode of the Care Experts podcast, we dive into how men can take care of their vision throughout life, and how to avoid common vision issues.
Your eyes adapt to your lifestyle, so it’s important to adjust your habits to match. For example, how much time you spend in front of a screen. You probably didn’t know that spending hours a day on screens can lead to your eyes becoming nearsighted over time!
Plus, we talk about how family history affects men’s vision - like color blindness, a sex-linked trait more common in boys than girls.
Stay for our Ask the Experts segment, where we answer your burning questions like: Can Viagra really change how we see certain colors? Don’t miss it!
