Top 10 Tips to Take Care of Your Eyes

Top ten Tips to Safeguard Eyesight from Save Sight Centre.

Follow our top ten tips to protect your eyesight and stave off future eye issues. Even if you can't manage all ten, at least make a point of visiting an ophthalmologist regularly for regular exams and testing.

• Wear Sunglasses Ultra violet light from the sun's rays can damage your eyes, so always wear UV factor-rated shades when spending time outside in direct sunlight.
• Take regular screen breaks If you use a computer regularly, take frequent breaks - at least one every hour - from screen use. Resting your eyes can help avoid headaches, eyestrain, soreness and double vision.
• Eating Healthy Eating the appropriate foods can help safeguard eyes against cataracts and age-related macular degeneration. Foods containing either lutein or zeaxanthin such as mango, squash, broccoli, green beans and spinach may offer optimal protection.
• Research Your Family Eye History Glaucoma is an eye condition which causes vision to become patchy or tunnel vision, making daily tasks such as reading difficult. If detected early enough it can be treated and managed. Glaucoma may run in families (with or without generations affected), so if any family members already have it it would be advisable to get yourself tested as well.
• Clean Your Contact Lens Now Use only commercially prepared solutions for contact lens care; never tap water, distilled water, saliva or any other substance as these may lead to eye infections that lead to corneal disease and even blindness. Furthermore, never borrow or use anyone else's contacts and never sleep in them!
• Wear Safety Glasses DIY or gardening can be hazardous to your eyes as chemicals, garden debris or nails/splinters could all pose potential dangers to them. Consider wearing safety goggles when doing any of these activities.
• Be careful when applying cosmetics. Be careful when using eye make-up remover or any cream near the eyes, and close or turn away when spraying cosmetics such as perfume and hairspray.
• Get to Know First-Aid Never guess at the severity of an eye injury; seek medical assistance immediately following any incident that causes pain in or blurriness to the vision - such as sudden loss.
• Diabetics While most diabetics will never have any eye problems whatsoever, people living with the condition are susceptible to diabetic retinopathy - which causes vision loss over time.
• See Your Eye Doctor Over half of sight loss is preventable with early intervention, and eye exams should be scheduled once annually to detect problems as early as possible. Unfortunately, research shows that one in four of us fail to do this.

Studies demonstrate that early intervention can prevent over half of sight loss. Although it should be scheduled at least annually, one out of every four of us fails to do this.
