Help Your Ophthalmologist, Take care of Your Eyes


The value of your eyes cannot be overstated enough. Millions of Americans are either legally blind or are visually impaired. Some are born with any one kind of visual impairment, and most get eye problems as they grow older. Some contract eye diseases or get into accidents. Keeping your eyes healthy is just one way of keeping the numbers down.

Eat a Proper Diet

By eating a proper diet, and making sure you eat your daily recommended intake of Vitamin A, you take care of your retina which performs the basic optical processing. It is also important to keep hydrated by drinking lots of fluids

Protect the Eyes

Your pair of eyes are complex but very sensitive organs. Sometimes, the protection that the eyelids and the eyelashes give aren't enough to keep the eyes from harm. Particles in the air, such as wind-blown dust and other particles are small enough to damage your eyes, it is also not a good idea to stare directly at the sun because direct exposure to UV rays is harmful to the eyes.

Rest

Don't forget to rest your eyes especially when they feel strained. Resting every ten minutes or so in between reading or playing video games is a great way to keep you eyes refreshed.
