We from KWIAT advise you – do not ignore even the smallest symptom, because the eye physiologically ages during the years and it is quite normal for all people to weaken eyesight. Despite your vigorous life, find time to visit an eye doctor to check your eyes. This is very important because early detection of a disease or an infection allows for more effective treatment. It is also important to practice sports, to have a healthy lifestyle and good nutrition! Please, share this with others.
