Eat healthy, exercise regularly and more to take care of eyes, suggest experts.
Ophthalmologists guide you to follow some simple steps:
Adequate sleep is essential for eye health and allows the eyes to repair and recover. Eight hours of sound sleep at night will go a long way in attaining better visual quality.
* Our eyes require multiple nutrients to function optimally. Vitamins and minerals along with green leafy vegetables and protein sources help to keep the eyes strong and sharp.
* Regular exercise not only keeps your body fit but also makes your eyes healthy by pumping more blood and oxygen to your eyes.
* A majority of office jobs require constant and direct glaring at the computer screen, making it difficult for your eyes. Make sure to take a break, every 20 minutes for at least 20 seconds.
* Regular physical exam at least twice a year will keep you aware and helps to take necessary action in time.
* Keep your eyes protected from exposure to harmful UV rays.
