Smoking can cause cancer and increase your risk of heart attack and stroke. Heavy smokers, those who usually smoke 15 or more cigarettes a day, increase their risk of getting cataracts, glaucoma, & severe dry eye syndrome.
Waiting until you experience vision problems to make an appointment is not the way to go. Slight changes or problems in your eyes can be detected and early diagnosis can be made if you stick to going to the eye doctor regularly.
At Q Optical, the Optical Shop of Boston MA we encourage a healthy diet to maintain healthy vision. Make an appointment today!
