Potential eye defects can be prevented by doing the following:

1. Always choose the appropriate glasses. For example, wear sunglasses that filter 75–95% of visible light and block out 99–100% of UV-A and UV-B rays. Also, follow your doctor's prescription regarding glasses or contact lenses;

2. Time-out: Give your eye a break as a form of prevention of eyestrain. You can also implement computer viewing glasses to reduce the light emissions of the screen;
