These tricks will help to maintain visual acuity and health of the eyes.

Blink more often

 

As a rule, when working with a computer, take your eyes away from the monitor more often and blink more often. The fact is that we blink less often than usual when sitting in front of the screen. This causes the eyeball to get wetter, dryer and more tired than usual.

Focus your eyes

 

Eye muscles, like other muscles in our body, need to be trained. You can do this by focusing your gaze alternately on close and distant objects.

Choose the right light

 

Eye fatigue can be caused by insufficient or too bright lighting. Find a compromise and find good daylight lamps.

Say no to cigarettes

 

Nicotine can reduce the blood supply to the eye tissues by narrowing the blood vessels. Tobacco smoke can also cause eye redness, tears and other irritations.

Wear sunglasses

In summer and spring (and on sunny winter days, too), protect your eyes with good glasses and dark glasses. Ultraviolet rays have a negative impact on the health of the eyes, increasing the risk of damage to the retina tissue, can cause damage to the lens and have a devastating effect on visual acuity.

Drink more water

 

Like the rest of the body, the eyes need moisture. Don’t forget this.

Eat the right foods

Carrots rich in vitamin A have been known since childhood, but there are a number of other products that contain vitamins that are good for the eyes. Don’t forget them. Give preference to vegetables and fruits with a high vitamin C content, such as blueberries, citrus fruits, kiwis, paprika, products rich in vitamins E (avocado, almonds) and A (celery, spinach) are also very good for the eyes. Don’t forget about products containing zinc, such as liver, beef and dairy products.
