Take your eyesight seriously. Follow these simple actions to keep your eyes healthy.
1. Eat Healthily
Good eye health begins with what you eat. Omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc, and vitamins C and E may help prevent age-related visual issues such as retinal degeneration and cataracts. To obtain them, load your plate with:
- Spinach, kale, and collards are examples of green leafy vegetables.
- Tuna, salmon, and other fatty fish
- Nonmeat protein sources include eggs, almonds, beans, and legumes.
- Citrus fruits and fluids such as oranges
- Pork and oysters
2. Give up smoking
It increases the risk of cataracts, visual nerve damage, and macular degeneration, among other medical issues. If you’ve attempted to stop the habit previously and failed, keep trying. The more times you try to stop, the more probable it is that you will succeed. Consult your doctor for assistance.
3. Put on sunglasses
The appropriate sunglasses will shield your eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Excessive UV exposure increases your risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.
Select a pair that filters out 99% to 100% of UVA and UVB radiation. Wraparound lenses shield your eyes from the sides. Polarised lenses minimise glare when driving but do not provide additional protection.
4. Wear Protective Eyewear
Wear safety glasses or protective eyewear if you work with dangerous or airborne products at work or at home.
Sports such as ice hockey, racquetball, and lacrosse can all cause eye injuries. Wear safety glasses. Your eyes will be protected by helmets with protective face masks or sports goggles with polycarbonate lenses.
5. Remove Your Eyes From the Computer Screen
Too much time spent staring at a computer or phone screen might result in:
Eyestrain
blurry vision
Having difficulty focusing at a distance
Wet eyes
Headaches
Back, neck, and shoulder ache
