You may wear glasses or have perfect 20/20 vision, but chances are you will still need to protect your eyesight in a myriad of ways. Without your vision, quality of life could deteriorate for you and your loved ones. Fortunately, science is on our side when it comes to preventive measures one can adopt. Here is how you can protect your eye health with simple habits, eye drops and health supplements.
EYE STRAIN
Staring at screens can cause blurred vision, also known as Computer Vision Syndrome. Research suggests that viewing screens over a long period of time makes the eyes work harder.
SUNSHINE
Sunshine affects people’s eyesight in different ways. For some, cloudy days provide better vision while others can see better on brighter days. Try wearing a wide-brimmed hat with blue light-blocking sunglasses while outdoors. This can diminish the adverse effects of excessive brightness.
STRESS
Ophthalmologists explain that the eyes are an extension of our brain, so whatever affects parts of the brain could impact our vision. Stress can cause blurred vision and in turn build more stress. Exercise, meditate and maintain a healthy diet to reduce your stress.
SLEEP
Lack of sleep and fatigue contribute to poor vision among working professionals. Work pressures can lead to losing focus, and other eye conditions. Sleeping for less than 5 hours could result in eye spasms and dry eyes. Schedule a checkup with your eye specialist if you experience any of these symptoms.
UV RAYS
Indoor lighting is often overlooked in eye care. Exposure to fluorescent lighting, an artificial source of UV light can impact vision. Make sure you set your overhead lights to the correct brightness when working. A minimum of 400 lumens should be provided for reading purposes and the ambient lighting for a living room should be between 1,500 and 3,000 lumens.
