A lot of us are guilty of taking our sight for granted but no one stays young forever and whether you’re lucky enough to have perfect vision, or already have glasses or contacts, there are some very simple things to be aware of.
Here, GandaWin gives a few advices on how you may be putting your sight at risk…
1 – Not eating enough leafy greens.
Leafy vegetables such as kale and carrots are really good for the eyes.
2 – Not wearing sunglasses
People know with the skin to not be out in UV rays too long but very few people know that ultra violet light is a major cause of cataracts, and also it is believed to be a cause of retinal disease.
3 – Not taking enough screen breaks
Make sure you are blinking regularly and every 10 seconds or so. Otherwise it dries your eyes out and makes them uncomfortable. Take little breaks, look away from the screen, across the office to change your focus now and again.
4 – The wrong angle of your computer screen
Make sure the screen is slightly down, you should be able to look over the top, so when looking at the screen you’re looking slightly down and that will be a more comfortable and natural for the eyes.
5 – Doing sport without protection
If you’re a swimmer, use well fitting goggles, so you can see properly and keep your eyes out of the water. I would also say to any contact lenses wearer not to wear your contact lenses as there are risks with water and contact lenses – there are risks to a very rare infection, ideally don’t expose with contact lenses.
