Eye Health Literacy

Eye health literacy is the understanding and knowledge about how to maintain healthy eyes and prevent vision problems. It includes being aware of common eye conditions, recognizing early signs of issues, knowing when to seek professional care, and understanding how factors like nutrition, eye protection, and regular check-ups contribute to overall eye health. Improved eye health literacy helps individuals make informed decisions, reduces the risk of avoidable vision loss, and promotes proactive management of eye care, ultimately supporting better vision and quality of life.
