The period between 18 and 35 years of age is considered a time of visual maturity. The eyes are fully developed, and vision is stable. People in this age group often neglect preventive eye exams, which can lead to problems later on.
Common eye problems at this age:
- Myopia (nearsightedness) – Many young people experience progression of myopia, often due to excessive screen time or prolonged near work such as reading.
- Dry eye – A chronic and common condition, often caused by extended time spent in front of screens or being in smoky or air-conditioned environments.
- Eye injuries – Young adults tend to be physically active, which increases the risk of eye injuries.
Prevention:
Although vision is stable at this age, good care and regular check-ups are essential for preventing eye diseases in the future.
At VISION, we offer state-of-the-art equipment and a highly qualified team of specialists for diagnosing eye conditions and diseases.
How to maintain good vision:
- Regular preventive eye exams – Recommended once every one to two years.
- Quit smoking – Smoking contributes to the development of serious eye diseases.
- Limit screen time – Use digital devices in moderation and take regular breaks.
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle – A balanced diet, exercise, and good sleep all support long-term eye health.
