5 SIMPLE TIPS TO KEEP YOUR EYES HEALTHY EVERY DAY.

5 SIMPLE TIPS TO KEEP YOUR EYES HEALTHY EVERY DAY.

Your eyes work hard every day, from reading and working on screens to adjusting to different lighting conditions. 
Taking care of them doesn’t have to be complicated! 

Here are five simple but effective tips to keep your eyes healthy and your vision sharp.

1. FOLLOW THE 20-20-20 RULE.
If you spend long hours looking at screens, your eyes can get tired and strained. 
The 20-20-20 rule helps reduce eye strain:
Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
This relaxes your eye muscles and prevents digital eye fatigue.


2. EAT A VISION BOOSTING DIET.
Your diet plays a big role in maintaining good eyesight. Include foods rich in:
•Vitamin A (carrots, sweet potatoes) for good vision.
•Omega-3 fatty acids (fish, walnuts) to prevent dry eyes.
•Lutein & Zeaxanthin (leafy greens, eggs) to protect against eye diseases.


3. WEAR ANTI-REFLECTIVE GLASSES OUTDOORS. 
Exposure to UV rays can increase the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. 
Choose 100% UV-protection glasses to shield your eyes from harmful rays. We offer the best on this.
Bonus: They also limit wrinkles around your eyes!


4. STAY HYDRATED AND BLINK OFTEN.
Dry eyes can be uncomfortable and lead to irritation. Prevent this by:
•Drinking plenty of water throughout the day.
•Blinking more often, especially when using screens.


5. GET ROUTINE EYE EXAMINATIONS.
Even if you don’t have vision problems, a routine eye check-up can detect early signs of conditions like glaucoma, cataract, diabetes-related eye issues, or high blood pressure. 
An optometrist can also update your prescription if needed.


Your eyes deserve the best care! By following these simple habits, you can protect your vision for years to come.
