If your vision isn't perfect, and you're an active person, contact lenses are essential in my book. Contacts don't fog up when you're running, or fall off when you're biking. And you can wear them when swimming, you just have to wear goggles or keep your eyes shut.

Suffering from dry eyes and blurry vision, major league baseball player Brain McCann, catcher for the Atlanta Braves, was recently outfitted for glasses after having his eyes checked.
While most of us don't depend on our peepers to track incoming curve balls, we all rely on our eyes for just about everything. This is why it is important to have your eyes checked regularly.

I started wearing glasses when I was in fourth grade and later switched to contacts. I can't see without either, especially the alarm clock in the early hours of the day. Every morning, the site of the fuzzy alarm clock sends thoughts of Lasik Eye Surgery running through my mind.

If staring at a computer screen all day has your eyes bugging out, try this simple trick for a little relief.
- Start by rubbing your palms together for about 10 seconds to build up heat in your hands.
- Place the heels of your hands lightly over your eyes and block out as much light as you can. Allow your finger tips to gently press into your forehead because chances are high it is tense, too.
- Hang out in the "dark" for five to 10 slow breaths.
