Our Eye Health Tips
1. Schedule Regular Eye Examinations: * The NHS recommends regular eye examinations to assess your vision and detect any eye conditions early. These exams can help identify issues such as glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration.
2. Protect Your Eyes from Harmful UV Rays: * The sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays can harm your eyes. Wear sunglasses that offer UV protection when outdoors, and ensure they carry the CE mark to meet European safety standards.
3. Maintain a Healthy Diet: * A balanced diet rich in nutrients like vitamin A, C, and omega-3 fatty acids can support your eye health. Foods like carrots, leafy greens, and fish are great choices.
4. Avoid Smoking: * Smoking is linked to an increased risk of eye diseases, including cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Quitting smoking can benefit both your eye and overall health.
5. Follow Digital Eye Care: * If you spend a lot of time on screens, practice the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look at something twenty feet away for at least 20 seconds to reduce digital eye strain.
The Importance Of Eye Examinations
Regular eye tests are important because your eyes don’t usually hurt when something is wrong.
A sight test is a vital health check for your eyes that can pick up early signs of eye conditions before you’re aware of any symptoms – many of which can be treated if found early enough.
