How To Take Care of Your Eyes?
Steps- Eat lots of fruits & veggies! Carrots, loaded with beta carotene are especially helpful in maintaining healthy eyes.
- Avoid wearing contact lenses for more than 12 hours. This can cause permanent sight damage as well as extreme discomfort.
- Use sparingly. Using an allergen-reducing eye drop during allergy season to 'get the red out' and sooth itchiness may help on a limited basis, but chronic daily use can actually make the problem worse.
- Read the labels of eye drops carefully; many drops cannot be used while wearing contacts.
- Press cold cucumber slices gently against eyes 10 minutes before going to sleep at night to prevent puffiness.
- Wear UV protective sunglasses. Get polarized lenses, NOT just darker lenses. The lenses that only make the world darker will just make your pupils dilate and don't do a thing to stop the UV rays. Prolonged exposure to UV rays can harm your eyesight, protection in youth can help prevent loss of eyesight in later years.
- Try not to spend so much time looking at your computer screen. (As a matter of fact, now would be a good time to give your eyes a break, since you're not doing anything too important.)
- Be sure to wear goggles or other eye protective wear when working with chemicals or any place with harmful airborne particulates.
