World No To***co Day – Protect Your Vision 👁️🚭🌍

In honor of World No To***co Day, we’re highlighting an important but often overlooked fact: to***co and va**ng products don’t just harm the lungs and heart—they can seriously damage your eyes as well.

As outlined in the article “How Do Smoking and Va**ng Damage the Eyes?”, smoking increases the risk of conditions such as cataracts, dry eye, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD), all of which can impact long-term vision and quality of life. 👁️

At Southern California Eye Institute, we encourage patients in Redondo Beach and surrounding communities to prioritize eye health by avoiding to***co exposure and staying informed.
