Eye health, a critical aspect of overall well-being, has garnered increased focus for its vital role in maintaining quality of life. Research underscores the importance of preserving good vision to avert conditions such as cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration. Emphasizing preventive care, regular eye exams, and a healthy lifestyle are key to sustaining good eye health throughout life.
On August 3, 2024, BAPS Charities hosted a health lecture in Memphis, TN, to educate attendees on maintaining optimal eye health and preventing common eye diseases. Presented by Dr Samir Shah, the session detailed the anatomy and functions of the eye, common eye diseases, and effective lifestyle strategies to mitigate their risks. The discussion highlighted the significance of proper nutrition, including the intake of vitamins A and E, and the avoidance of detrimental habits like smoking and prolonged screen time. Attendees were also guided on early detection through comprehensive dilated eye exams and the various treatment options available for those at higher risk or already affected by eye conditions.
BAPS Charities aims to promote health awareness, encouraging individuals to take proactive steps towards preserving their well-being.
