Doctor's advice:

• "Vision is a vital part of life quality. Its decline can affect work, study, driving, daily activities, and communication. Pain, discomfort, dryness, or reduced acuity are symptoms you should never ignore. Regular eye check-ups, even when there are no complaints, help detect eye diseases early and preserve vision. It is recommended to have an ophthalmologic examination at least once a year."
