Do you know what creates the most blindness in U.S. adults? It is an eye condition caused by diabetes, called diabetic retinopathy. Many people have minor eye problems, for example eye strain, irritated eyes, or itchy, scaly eyelids. These conditions may be ongoing (chronic) but usually are not severe.

It is expected for the eyes to be a little sensitive to light. Then again, sudden, painful sensitivity to light is a serious problem should be evaluated by your eye care professional.
Eye symptoms that are unusual or that happen suddenly ought to be evaluated by an emergency medicine specialist. Sustained eye problems that may be worsening are often evaluated by an eye care professional.

Caring of your eyes and your health is the initial start to preventing blindness. It is expected for the eyes to be irritated or have a scratchy sensation. Pain rarely happens unless there has been an injury

So paying attention to your eyes at work is very important. But many people don't even have regular sight tests. Be sure you have your eyes checked out at least once a year or more frequently if you have symptoms.
