Tips to take good care of eyes
Symptoms of eye issues
If you experience any issues with your eyes, be it a change in the vision or itching in the eyes, contact your eye care professional. Get your eye examination done.
Some of the symptoms to look out for are painful eyes, double vision, itching in eyes, trouble seeing at night, blurry vision, partial vision loss, etc.
Consume a healthy diet
For good eye health, it is important to consume a healthy diet. Make sure your diet comprises essential nutrients like lutein, zinc, vitamin C, and omega-3 fatty acids.
A good meal also helps to ward off other health conditions. These include obesity and diabetes that are also the cause of a number of eye conditions. Eat a lot of green leafy vegetables, oily fish, eggs, beans, nuts, oysters, and fruits.
Quit smoking
Avoid smoking. It damages your optic nerve that increases your chances of getting cataracts.
Protect your eyes from UV rays
Protect your eyes from the harmful sun rays. Wear sunglasses that will protect your eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Excess exposure to the rays causes a number of eye issues including cataracts and macular degeneration.
Wear safety glasses at work
