10 Smart Ways To Help Keep Your Eyes Healthy

We’re constantly being bombarded with magazine articles advising us on how to take care of our health, our skin, our hair, and even our feet, but very little attention is paid to our eyes given how much we depend on our vision in our everyday lives.

Just think about how much your eyes work from the moment you wake up until you close your eyes at bedtime which is why taking care of your eyes is so important. Although taking care of your eyes might seem pointless if you don’t have any vision problems, adopting a few easy habits will not only preserve your vision but will also decrease your odds of developing eye problems in the future.

So in this article, we’ve outlined our eye care tips for keeping your eyes healthy.

It’s important to eat a variety of foods for eye health. Eating assorted fruits and vegetables, especially deep yellow and green leafy vegetables, provide vitamins essential for good eye health. And fish high in Omega 3 fatty acids, like tuna, salmon, and halibut, supply key eye vitamins, and nutrients.

Exercising regularly can help prevent conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, all of which can lead to chronic eye problems that can damage your vision.

Exposure to sunlight can damage your eyesight and increase your risk of developing cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, inflammation of the cornea (keratitis), or corneal growths, such as pterygia and pingueculae.
