Do you know how to
Protect Your Eyesight?

Focus On What’s Important

What we feed our bodies feeds our eyes. Many of the vitamins and minerals in our bodies are found in much higher concentrations in our eyes, so a diet lacking in these vitamins and minerals can lead to vision problems as we grow older.

Take the time every day to give your eyes (and the rest of your body) the nutritive support they need. Eat the foods and take the supplements that provide the antioxidant vitamins and minerals your eyes require. You’ll Protect Your Eyesight, ensuring years of good eye health, and increasing the odds that you’ll avoid blindness or vision loss for the rest of your life.

But foods and supplements are just part of the answer. Lifestyle changes, like reducing stress, will improve your eye health. Avoiding bad habits (such as smoking), and developing good habits (such as juicing, and wearing sunglasses when outside), will help you Protect Your Eyesight.

In this site, you will find the information and tips you need to ensure that you and your family can avoid vision impairment and enjoy years of worry-free sight. And if you already suffer from an eye disease, you’ll find information on how to halt its progression and possibly reverse some of its effects on your vision.

Essential Vision Tip: Can’t Read These Small Print Web pages?

For those of you who can't read the words on your computer screen without wearing glasses, there's a quick and easy way to increase the size of the text on any web page you go to.

The catch is that you need to have a roller wheel on your mouse that scrolls up and down the page.(if you don't please read on)

This type of mouse is available at any office supply or computer store.

On any web page you visit, press and hold the "Ctrl" button while scrolling the roller wheel down as if you were scrolling down the page.

Each roller wheel click will increase the text size by one font point.

To reduce the text size back to normal, just hold the "Ctrl" button on your keyboard while scrolling the roller wheel upward!

For those of you without a roller wheel on your mouse, you can increase the text size by doing the following:

1) Open your web browser.

2) Click "View" in the upper left corner.

3) Select "Text Size" and then select "larger" or "largest".

4) To return to the original size, perform the preceding steps and select "medium" or "small" accordingly.

*Note - This only works with Internet Explorer Browsers.

For Netscape or Mozilla browsers, press the "Ctrl" key simultaneously with the + or - symbols to increase and decrease text size.
