| 10 Ways to Keep Your Eyes Healthy |
|
| We realise that in today’s hectic times, stress is an enemy that many of us have to deal with at the end of every day. When added upon factors such as pollution, it is our eyes that are most vulnerable to this enemy. Being EyeExperts, we know that the environment we live in is certainly not the best for delicate body parts such as the eyes. Tiredness and soreness in your eyes on a daily basis has the capacity to induce permanent damage over time. To prevent this from happening, it is vital for everyone to follow simple rules. 1. Have your eyes checked every 12 months Some vision problems may go unnoticed until it is too late. It is thus advisable to schedule a visit with your optician once every year to prevent costly corrective measures in the future. Remember, if the optician has advised you to start wearing glasses, do so without any delay. Research has proved that if the prescription is very low such as (-0.25), it can be corrected by having a vitamin and iron rich diet. So schedule an appointment with your optician if you have not done so over the last year. 2. Never compromise on quality when it comes to your glasses Wearing spectacles of inferior quality to save on costs is one of the leading causes of eye damage. Ensure that your prescription glasses are of the highest grade. Often, people go for the best of designer frames, but do not pay attention to the quality of lenses used. At EyeExperts.co.uk, we have a choice of over 1000 frames and these come fitted with the high quality lenses as per British regulation standards.

Thus, ensuring proper intake of the following vitamins and minerals in your diet is essential:
4. Always wear sunglasses in summer The fact that UV rays can cause severe damage to your eyes is well-known. It is also important to remember that even if your contact lenses provide UV protection, you still need to wear sunglasses for complete protection. At EyeExperts, we have a wide range of sunglasses for men and women. We also offer FREE tint and UV protection for sunglasses. 5. Ensure proper lighting whenever you read Eye strain may be caused by lighting that is too poor or too bright. Measures such as decreasing the brightness of your monitor and drawing the curtains / blinds on bright days go a long way in decreasing strain. 6. Give your eyes a break during long stretches of computer use Close your eyes for 10 seconds after every hour of computer use before opening them. You may also try to focus on an object located at a distance to exercise your eyes. Try this and you will experience the difference these 10 seconds make to your eyes! 7. Take proper care of your contact lenses If you wear contact lenses, make sure you rinse them before and after wearing them to avoid any eye related infection. 8. Natural remedies This is for those of us who love natural therapies! Press cold cucumber slices gently to your eyes every night before sleeping to reduce strain and puffiness. Try it – this recommendation comes from one of our highly experienced ophthalmologist! 9. Avoid wearing contact lenses for more than 12 hours Wearing contacts for long stretches may cause permanent damage and extreme discomfort. 10. Natural Cleansing To remove dirt from your eyes, cleanse them with rose water or a cotton ball dipped in milk. If you would like to have more advice on eye care, email us at eyecare@EyeExperts.co.uk.
