Preventive ophthalmology

Preventive ophthalmology focuses on strategies to maintain healthy vision and prevent eye diseases before they develop or worsen. It involves routine eye exams, early detection of issues like glaucoma or diabetic retinopathy, and educating individuals on proper eye care, such as protective measures and managing health conditions that affect the eyes. The goal is to identify risks early, implement interventions, and promote lifestyles that support long-term eye health, ultimately reducing the chances of vision loss and improving quality of life.
