Developing good eye health habits are important to protect your vision. You may not even realize that some natural everyday habits you have, such as prolonged computer use, could have a negative impact on your eyes and cause eye strain. Try these six easy tips for healthy eyesight.
EAT MORE VEGGIES
Eat healthy, leafy greens and fruits. These foods are rich in eye nutrients Lutein and Zeaxanthin.
STOP SMOKING
Smoking (even second hand smoke) increases your risk of developing vision problems.
SEEK SHADE
Wear a broad-brimmed hat when in direct sunlight. Clouds don’t block UV light.
ANNUAL EYE EXAM
Get an annual eye exam. A comprehensive, dilated eye exam can detect changes in eye health.
SCORE MORE SLEEP
Sleep lubricates your eyes and replenishes nutrients. Without it, eyes can become irritated and dry.
SAFETY IN THE SUN
Select sunglasses labeled UV400 or 100% UV protection. Light-colored eyes are even more photosensitive.
