Your vision is very important. It’s crucial that you develop good habits in order to preserve and protect your eyesight. Where do you start? That’s where we come in, the vision experts. We want your vision to last long and stay vibrant! Don’t you? There are things that you can do to protect your vision by taking a few simple steps.
Protect Your Eyes From the Elements
Of course when we say the elements, the main one we are referring to is the sun! ALWAYS wear sunglasses when you are outdoors, even on the overcast days. The sun still has strong rays when the clouds are covering a majority of the exposure. It’s important to always wear sunglasses when you are driving or looking into the sun. Sun can do the most damage to your eyes, and it doesn’t take a lot of exposure to do serious damage. Wear sunglasses or a hat to ensure your eyes are protected!
Keep Your Eyes Lubricated
We all experience dry or itchy eyes from time to time. However, if you find that your eyes are always dry or itching, lubricate them properly! Keep doctor approved eye drops on hand to ensure your eyes will stay fresh and comfortable. Dry eyes aren’t good for anybody! If your eyes are itching excessively, do not rub with your hands or fingers, as they carry lots of dirt and bacteria. If you do need to itch your eyes, be gentle and do not rub excessively, it can do serious damage to your eyes and vision.
Wear Your Glasses If You Need Them
Do not strain your eyes! We repeat, do not strain your eyes! There is nothing wrong with wearing your glasses or contacts on a daily basis if you require the assistance. Straining your eyes can have detrimental effects on your vision and eyesight. If you do not like wearing contacts or glasses, consider LASIK eye surgery.
