1. Follow the 20-20-20 Rule
In today’s digital world, we spend hours staring at screens. To reduce eye strain, follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This gives your eyes a much-needed break.
2. Eat Eye-Healthy Foods
A diet rich in nutrients like vitamin A, C, E, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids can help keep your eyes in top shape. Include leafy greens, carrots, fish, eggs, and citrus fruits in your daily meals.
3. Wear Sunglasses Outdoors
UV rays from the sun can damage your eyes over time, increasing the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. Always wear sunglasses with 100% UVA and UVB protection when you’re outdoors.
4. Stay Hydrated
Drinking enough water helps maintain healthy tear production and prevents dry eyes. Aim for 6–8 glasses a day, especially if you work in air-conditioned environments.
5. Avoid Rubbing Your Eyes
Your hands carry bacteria and dirt, which can cause infections when transferred to your eyes. If your eyes are itchy or irritated, use clean tissues or eye drops rather than rubbing them.
6. Get Regular Eye Exams
Even if your vision seems fine, regular eye check-ups can detect problems early—before they affect your sight. At Drushti Eye Care, our comprehensive exams help you stay ahead of potential issues.
7. Give Your Eyes Proper Rest
Sleep is essential for eye health. During sleep, your eyes get a chance to recover from daily strain. Aim for 7–8 hours of quality sleep each night to help your eyes rejuvenate.
Final Thoughts
Healthy eyes start with simple daily habits. Whether you wear glasses, contacts, or have perfect vision, taking care of your eyes now will protect them for years to come.
