Eyes Care Is A Serious - How To Take Care Of Your Sight
Our expert has been talking about the care of the eyes lately.
Don't take the Care of your eyes for granted. Take these easy steps to keep your eyes healthy.
Nutrition Is All
Good eye health starts with the food on your plate.
Nutrients like omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc, and
vitamins C and E might help ward off age-related vision problems
like macular degeneration and cataracts. To get them, let the following make your meal:
Green leafy vegetables like spinach, kale, and collards
Salmon, tuna, and other oily fish
Eggs, nuts, beans, and other nonmeat protein sources
Oranges and other citrus fruits or juices
Oysters and pork
A well-balanced diet also helps you stay at a healthy weight.
That lowers your odds of obesity and related diseases like type 2 diabetes, which is the leading cause of blindness in adults
Computer Screen can be a threat
Staring at a computer or phone screen for too long can cause the following :
Eyestrain
Blurry vision
Trouble focusing at a distance
Dry eyes
Headaches
Neck, back, and shoulder pain
To protect your eyes against these:
Make sure your glasses or contacts prescription is up to date and good for looking at a computer screen.
If your eye strain won’t go away, talk to an expert about computer glasses (it helps).
Move the screen so your eyes are level with the top of the monitor.
That lets you look slightly down at the screen.
Try to avoid glare from windows and lights. Use an anti-glare screen if needed (your sight is more important than the cost).
Choose a comfortable, supportive chair. Position it so that your feet are flat on the floor.
If your eyes are dry, blink more.
Rest your eyes every 20 minutes.
Look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Get up at least every 2 hours and take a 15-minute break.
Guard Your Eyes Jealously
If you use hazardous or airborne materials on the job or at home, wear safety glasses or protective goggles.
Sports like ice hockey, racquetball, and lacrosse can also lead to eye injury(Be careful if you must participate in these sports) Wear eye protection.
Helmets with protective face masks or sports goggles with polycarbonate lenses will shield your eyes.
Smoke is dangerous
Smoking makes you more likely to get cataracts, damage to your optic nerve, and macular degeneration.
If you've tried to kick the habit before only to start again, (try the HolyGost, He'll help you overcome it in a twinkle of an eye)
Wear Sunglasses
The right pair of shades will help protect your eyes from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Too much UV exposure boosts your chances of cataracts and macular degeneration.
Choose a pair that blocks 99% to 100% of UVA and UVB rays. Wraparound lenses help protect your eyes from the side. Polarized lenses reduce glare while you drive.
If you wear contact lenses, some offer UV protection. It's still a good idea to wear sunglasses for an extra layer.
