1. Nutrition: Eat Your Way to Better Vision

What you eat fuels your eyes.

  • Include foods rich in Vitamin A, C, and E, as well as omega-3 fatty acids.
  • Good options include: carrots, spinach, almonds, and fish like salmon.
  • Recent study: People with higher omega-3 intake are 30% less likely to develop age-related macular degeneration (JAMA).

2. Screen Safety: Limit Eye Strain

With increasing screen time, Digital Eye Strain is now a common complaint.

  • Follow the 20-20-20 Rule: Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
  • Adjust screen brightness and use blue light filters.
  • Blink often to avoid dryness.

Pro Tip from Sri Eye Care: Use lubricating eye drops if your eyes feel dry after long screen sessions

3. Rest: Prioritize Proper Sleep

Your eyes heal and recharge when you sleep.

  • Aim for 7–8 hours of quality sleep each night.
  • Poor sleep can worsen dry eyes, twitching, and even blurred vision.
  • Avoid screens 30 minutes before bedtime to promote melatonin production.

4. Hygiene: Keep Your Eyes and Lenses Clean

  • Wash your hands before touching your eyes or applying/removing contact lenses.
  • Never sleep with your lenses in unless advised by your eye doctor.
  • Clean makeup tools and discard expired cosmetics.

Did You Know? Improper lens hygiene is one of the leading causes of eye infections.

5. Protection: Guard Against UV and Injury

  • Always wear UV-protected sunglasses outdoors—even on cloudy days.
  • Use protective eyewear during sports, gardening, or construction work.
  • Wear helmets with visors for high-risk activities like welding or biking.

6. Checkups: Schedule Regular Eye Exams

  • Visit an eye specialist at Sri Eye Care at least once a year.
  • Children, diabetics, and seniors may need more frequent checkups.
  • Regular exams help detect and manage conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and diabetic eye disease early.

Bonus Tip: Watch for Warning Signs

Don’t ignore symptoms like:

  • Blurred or double vision
  • Sudden redness or eye pain
  • Frequent headaches linked to vision
  • Flashes of light or sudden floaters

These may indicate serious issues—consult Sri Eye Care immediately.
