Q: How often should I have my eyes tested?
A: At least every two years, or sooner if you notice any changes. Performers with existing vision issues may need more frequent checks.

Q: Can nutrition really affect my eyesight?
A: Absolutely! A balanced diet rich in omega-3, antioxidants, and vitamins supports eye health and can help prevent certain conditions.

Q: What’s the 20-20-20 rule, and does it really help?
A: Yes—it helps reduce eye strain and fatigue, especially during long rehearsals or screen use. Every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.

Q: I have dry, gritty eyes after rehearsals. What can I do?
A: Increase blink awareness, take regular breaks, use lubricating drops, and keep your environment dust-free. If symptoms persist, seek a specialist assessment.

Q: Why is vision so critical for performers?
A: Around 80% of the information your brain processes is visual. Accurate sight reading, stage awareness, and quick reactions all depend on optimal vision.
