eye care requires regular eye examinations. young people should have an eye examination every two years from ages 2 to 15. it is important to protect your eyes when necessary by wearing protective goggles and proper sunglasses.
ear care involves cleaning the outer ear frequently with a soft, clean washcloth. it is not safe to insert objects into the ear because these objects might puncture the ear drum. loud noises such as the music at some rock concerts or loud music through headphones can cause damage to the ear, resulting in hearing loss.
