Healthy eyes help us carry out our daily activities efficiently. But we usually forget the importance of eye health until a problem arises. There are many things we can do to have healthy eyes and a clear vision. Below are five effective tips.
1. Eating fruits and green, leafy vegetables helps a lot in protecting our sight. Omega-3 found in oily fish is also found to clear eyesight. Vitamin A and minerals such as zinc are required for maintaining and improving eye health.
2. Obesity increases the risk of developing diabetes which can lead to poor vision and even blindness. So, one of the ways to take good care of your eyes is to maintain a healthy weight.
3. Smoking can cause macula degeneration, cataract and optic nerve damage. If you're smoking, please quit smoking, and if you're not, never start.
4. Wear sunglasses for protection against sun's ultraviolet rays. Too much exposure to UV rays increases your risk of getting cataract as well as macula degeneration which leads to loss of central vision.
5. Don't spend much time looking at the screen of your computer, so look away from the computer screen from time to time. It is advised to rest your eyes every 20 minutes by looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
