Tips to keep your eyes healthy



Your eyes are the windows to the world but negligence and improper care can take a toll on your eyesight.

Here are some tips to keep them healthy

Healthy food: Food play important role in the vision of eyes. For keeping your eyes healthy you should eat healthy food. Foods with nutrients and the best sources of these nutrients are green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, and collards, oily fishes.

Take care while using computers: Many people suffer from Computer Vision Syndrome, which is a temporary condition caused by frequent and prolong use of computer. Some of the symptoms are eyestrain, headaches, blurred vision, fatigue, dry eyes, difficulty focusing at a distance, neck, back, and shoulder pain, etc. So while using your computer, ensure proper lighting conditions to avoid glare on your computer or use an anti-glare screen if needed.

Wear sunglasses and safety goggles: To protect your peepers from UV rays wear sunglasses that block the UVA and UVB rays. Make sure you do safety eyewear while working with hazardous or airborne materials at work or home.

Quit smoking: Studies have shown that smoking can increasethe risk for macular degeneration, cataracts and optic nerve damage.

20-20-20 rule:  Use 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet away. Maintain an appropriate distance from your desktop.
                                            
Exercise: You can do the exercise for eyes by sitting in your room, on your favorite chair or at any time of the day. Close your eyes, gently massage you eyes in circular direction, and then wash your hands. You not need to go any gym or somewhere. Like we are very caring about our fitness then why not for our eyes.


At the end we would like to say that you should visit your eye doctor regularly to retain healthy eyesight and detection of eye problems. Get an eye exam once a year. For more help related to your eye health visit 20/20 Eyeglass Superstore.
