SENIOR MEDICAL OFFICER, GENERAL HOSPITAL, IBEJU-LEKKI. LAGOS Many everyday habits can subtly damage the eyes and lead to long-term vision problems.

Did you know that heavy screen use contributes to digital eye strain and a 21% increased risk of myopia for each additional hour spent on screens per day? Did you know that using expired makeup or failing to protect the eyes from UV rays can also cause infections, irritation, and early cataract formation?
