Good eye health is essential for a high quality of life. In addition to regular eye exams, there
are several steps you can take to protect your vision:
- Wear Sunglasses: The right pair of shades will help protect your eyes from the sun’s
ultraviolet (UV) rays. Too much UV exposure increases your risk for cataracts and macular
degeneration. - Remember 20-20-20 Rule: Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break and focus your eyes
on something at least 20 feet away. - Maintain a healthy diet: 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. - Practice good hygiene: Wash your hands before touching your eyes.
- Visit your eye doctor regularly: Everyone needs a regular eye exam, even young children.
It helps protect your sight and lets you see clearly. Eye exams can also find diseases, like
glaucoma, that have no symptoms. It’s important to detect them early on, when they’re
easier to treat.
