Hence, it is wise to take care of them. Other than visit the eye clinic, there are a lot of things which you can do to improve your eyesight.
Today, we will list some natural and easy ways in which you can take better care of your beloved eyes.
1. Eat key vitamins and minerals:
Eyes require certain vitamins and minerals that take care of them. Vitamin A, C, and E, and the mineral zinc are important as they contain anti-oxidants. If you less of these, you can suffer from macular degeneration, i.e., lose your central vision.
So, to consume these important nutrients, you need to eat –
• Carrots
• Broccoli
• Spinach
• Strawberries
• Sweet potato
2. Replenish your carotenoids:
Our eyes have so many parts, and each one of them has their own requirements. Among these important nutrients, there are lutein and zeaxanthin called carotenoids, which are found in our retina. This shield our eyes from ultraviolet rays and blue light.
But the good news is that you can found carotenoids in leafy green vegetables, eggs, and zucchini. If you are unable to eat them, you can also take them in supplement form.
3. Stay away from diabetics:
Diabetics is already a bad enough disease that you need to stay away from. But if you are suffering from Type 2 diabetics, there is a high chance your eyesight will deteriorate. If there is too much sugar in our bloodstream, the arteries will be affected, especially the ones connecting the retina. Soon blood and fluid will fell rin to your eyes, which will have irreplaceable consequences. So, stay as far as you can from diabetics.
4. Wear protective eye gear:
Whether you are playing badminton, working in the garage, or helping in a science project, your eyes are always exposed. Plus, our eyes lids aren’t as strong as other skin on the body to resist any damage.
So a smart decision would be to wear eye gear if you are around chemicals, sharps objects, or even near a sports game. This is because you never know what might enter your eyes.
The ideal eye gear is polycarbonate goggles, which are 10X better than any other googles. Or you can roam around carrying a sunglass, they are stylish and have enough resistance to any damage.
5. Use the 20-20-20 rule:
Every work that you do in today’s time is somehow related to a screen. Hence, you have to focus on a screen for a long time, whether it is streaming movies on your mobile or working on a laptop. This puts a lot of pressure on your eyes, which is not good for long terms. Hence, you need to adopt the 20-20-20 rule.
It is a very simple rule, whenever you focus on a screen for 20 minutes, you need to focus on something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This will ease the strain in your eyes and not affect your eyesight.

Hand is one object that automatically reaches your eyes without much thought, and it is quite possible that hands are not clean.
If you are not careful, you can easily carry germs and infections on your hand. If they reach your eyes, they can start as irritation in eyes and end up affecting your vision.
Hence, it is super important to keep your hand clean and the same close to your lenses, which are too close and easy to catch germs.
