Me, Myself, and Eye Care

 

When I mentioned my macular hole (left eye) and macular wrinkle (right eye) to a fellow writer in my Christian Poets & Writers group on Facebook, I learned he has a similar problem! I hope it's not a common concern among poets and writers, but if you have worsening vision, I pray these tips will help:

 

  • Place a magnifying glass in every room where you’re apt to need one.
  • Add closed captions to programs on TV.
  • Buy audio books or print editions with 14-point fonts or larger.
  • Avoid glare.
  • Get phones with large buttons.
  • Put yellow strips on the edge of each step.
  • Wear sunglasses with UV filters or lenses that darken in sunlight.
  • Zoom in and increase the size of words and pictures on your computer monitor.
  • Limit computer time.
  • Avoid wind, dust, and dryness.
  • Stay hydrated!
  • Schedule regular checkups with an Ophthalmologist.

 

If you’ve found other ideas that work for you, my eyes and I will welcome your suggestions in the Comments below. Take care. 

God bless.
