7 Ways You Can Take Care Of Your Eyes

Now people are suffering from eyesight problems from the age of 40 as they are working on the computer, using a smartphone, and watching television for a long time. Eyeside distortion may worsen over time. You suffer blurred vision under dim light.

In this situation, prescription glasses may help you. Before using a prescription glass you need to consult an eye specialist in Siliguri for guidance. Here are the useful seven ways through which you can take care of your eyes:

Start Exercising

There are muscles in the eyes so some exercises are required to maintain the perfect shape of your eye. The right time for eye exercise is the morning after a long rest. Learn from your eye care professional about some eye exercises that fit your eyesight.

Reduce Screen Time

Pollution in the air is harmful to eye health. Additionally,  working in front of a computer for a long time, playing video games, using a mobile phone at bedtime, watching television almost throughout the day, reading books in dim light, and pools’ chlorine water can deteriorate your visual capacity. Think of these issues and avoid them as much as possible.

Healthy Food

Carrot is a gem for your eye health. It is enriched with vitamin A, which is good for eye health. Add vitamins C, E, zinc, and copper to your diet. At an advanced age, the risk of attacking macular degeneration is high. Antioxidants containing food viz. egg, carrots, green vegetables, pumpkin, sweet potatoes, etc. protect you from this complication. Fish is nutritious for eye health. 

Eye Care

Take care of your eyes. Wash your eyes three times a day with fresh water. Always use a sterile cotton cloth to clean your eyes. Rest your eyes for a while in between the time of working in front of a computer screen. Do a routine eye checkup with an ophthalmologist near you.

Stay Hydrated

People who don’t take enough water (eight glasses a day) might have eye problems as they age. Enough fluid maintains your body’s water balance. It should not dry and irritate your eyes.

Quit Smoking

Smoking leads to macular degeneration and cataracts. Excessive smoking can affect your optic nerve and as a result, you might get lost your vision. Thus, you should avoid this habit not only for your eye health but also for your overall health. 

Take Rest

If you are working hard for a long time close your eyes for a few minutes during your work. You will feel at ease by applying the process. Rest helps you from eye toil. Your body needs at least 8 hours of complete rest to revive it for the next day. Doctors are always advising you to good sleep for your eye care. 

Excessive use of technology throws a challenge for your eye health. So, be careful with your eyes, and especially in this concern you may visit an eye specialist in Siliguri for an eye check-up once a year. Moreover, a healthy lifestyle is also recommended for your eye health.
