Ayon kay Dr. Catipon ang mga  mata ay dapat na laging malinis sa anumang dumi gaya ng alikabok, usok at insekto. Sinabi niya na ang mata ay kawangis ng kamera na kumukuha ng larawan. Ang retina ng mata ang kuma-capture kung ano ang nakikita at ang parteng ito ng mata ay napakasensitibo. Ang optic nerve, ayon kay Dr. Catipon ay dapat na ma-check-up bawat taon.
