Vision for Life
The eye is our most important sensory organ and good vision is a prerequisite for an active life. Up to 80% of all impressions are perceived by sight. However, we often don't think about our senses until an organ stops working. Anyone with poor vision is restricted in many ways - there is no doubt that better vision means better life; so you have plenty of reasons to take care of your eyes, particularly as you age.
7 tips to help maintain healthy eyesight
-
Eat for Healthy Eyes
Eat foods rich in protective nutrients like omega 3, vitamin C and other antioxidants. A balanced diet helps reduce the risk of obesity and diseases like type II diabetes – diabetes is a major cause of adult blindness. -
Exercise
Physical activity stimulates blood circulation, improves oxygen levels to the eyes and helps remove toxins. -
Quit Smoking
Smoking increases the risk of cataracts, optic nerve damage and macular degeneration. Smokers have 3 times the risk of developing macular degeneration. -
Wear Sunglasses
Protect your eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. Too much UV exposure increases your risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. Choose sunglasses that block 99-100% of UVA and UVB rays. -
Use Safety Eyewear
If you work with hazardous or airborne materials wear safety glasses or googles every time. -
Look Away from the Computer Screen
Staring too long at a computer screen can lead to eyestrain, blurred vision, trouble focusing at a distance, dry eyes, headaches, neck, back & shoulder pain. If your eyes are dry, blink more. Rest your eyes every 20 minutes by looking 20 metres away for 20 secs. Take a 15 minute screen-break every 2 hours. -
Have a regular eye check
To protect your sight and ensure early detection of problems get a regular periodic professional eye examination.
