(This story contains tips on improving eyesight. I am not an eye specialist. I am sharing information I found that may help prevent and improve vision. It is strongly advised you do your own research as well.)

Our vision is something we take for granted every day. But something we would be completely devasted by if we ever lost it.

If you’re like me, you work on a computer all day. Then when you’re on a break you’re checking the news, social media, texting friends and family on your phone. You wear eyeglasses or contacts, and your prescription keeps getting worse every time you go to the eye doctor. If this sounds like you, then you’ll want to keep reading this to the end to get some vital information that could help save your vision and maybe even make it better.

Every year I went to the eye doctor to get my vision checked just to get a new script so I could order more contacts. And every year, I was used to the eye doctor telling me my eyes looked good, “Here’s your new script.” That was until my last check-up.
