Preventative measures, like wearing UV-protective sunglasses and following a balanced diet rich in vitamins A and C, can help preserve vision.\nHow to Participate in Healthy Vision Month:\n1. Schedule a comprehensive eye exam for yourself and encourage your family members to do the same.\n2. Protect your eyes from harmful UV rays by wearing sunglasses with 100% UVA and UVB protection.\n3.
