1. Eat for Good Vision
Nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, lutein,
zinc, and vitamins C and E might help ward off age-related vision problems such
as macular degeneration and cataracts. Regularly eating these foods can help
lead to good eye health:
- Green, leafy vegetables such as spinach, kale, and collards
- Salmon, tuna, and other oily fish
- Eggs, nuts, beans, and other non-meat protein sources
- Oranges and other citrus fruits or juices
2.
Quit Smoking
Smoking makes you more likely to get
cataracts, optic nerve damage, and macular degeneration.
The right kind of sunglasses will help protect
your eyes from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Too much UV exposure makes you more likely to
get cataracts and macular degeneration.
Choose sunglasses that block 99% to 100% of
both UVA and UVB rays. Wraparound lenses help protect your eyes from the side.
If you work with hazardous or airborne
materials on the job or at home, wear safety glasses or protective goggles
every time.
Certain sports such as ice hockey,
racquetball, and lacrosse can also lead to eye injury. Wear eye protection
(such as helmets with protective face masks or sports goggles with
polycarbonate lenses) to shield your eyes.
Staring at a computer screen for too long
can cause:
- Eyestrain
- Blurry vision
- Trouble focusing at a distance
- Dry eye
