We get most of our information about the world from our sense of sight. However, many people overlook eye health as part of their regular health routine. Learn how to protect yourself from the most common causes of blindness and keep your eyes healthy.

Avoiding eye injury

The eye is very delicate, and can be injured easily. Some of the causes may surprise you - here's how to protect yourself.

Diabetes

Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in people under the age of 65. Learn how to reduce your risk of eye damage due to diabetes.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is the second leading cause of blindness in North America, behind diabetes. In glaucoma, the optic nerve (the nerve carrying information from the eye to the brain) is damaged by a build-up of fluid in the eyeball.
