They say the eyes are the window to the soul, but did you know that keeping your eyes healthy takes a multifaceted approach. Protecting vision is critical, but many of us often take our eyesight for granted until it’s too late.
How can you protect your eyes?
Eye Exams
Getting regular dilated eye exams is critical. When your eyes are dilated, the physician can see into the retina and behind the eye to diagnose any conditions in their early stages. With eye diseases, often there are no symptoms until the disease has progressed. Untreated glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration can lead to low vision and blindness.
Diet
Eating plenty of vegetables, especially dark leafy greens, berries, cold-water fish, and limiting processed foods, sugar, and high sodium is critical for eye health.
Exercise
Because many eye diseases are interconnected with high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes, it’s important to maintain a regular exercise program to keep your vascular system in optimal condition.
Supplements
Although you can get most of your key eye nutrients from a healthy diet, it’s not always easy to eat perfectly. That is why the American Ophthalmic Association recommends supplementing with Omega-3 fatty acids, zinc, vitamin A, C, lutein, and zeaxanthin, to name a few.
Wear Sunglasses
The reason we hear so much advice on wearing sunscreen, sunglasses, and avoiding over sun exposure between 10:00 am to 4 pm is due in large part to the sun’s harmful UV rays during the time when the sun is the highest in the sky. Sunglasses are fashionable accessories that can indeed help to prevent melanoma from forming in the eyes. Your eyes need protection from both UVA and UVB rays. It’s best to choose 100% UV Protection.
Quit Smoking
Smoking is unhealthy for numerous reasons, but when it comes to vision, it decreases vascular dilation and can contribute to eye diseases such as macular degeneration.
