The ability to open your eyes and see the wonderful and amazing world that surrounds you is a blessing that most people take for granted. You don’t need to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses to naturally improve your eyesight. Londonderry Eye Care recommends six surprising ways to improve your eyesight naturally that don’t require a lot of time or money.
Adopt a Good Vision Diet
What you eat can help to improve your vision. Research has shown that certain nutrients including Vitamins C and E, lutein, omega-3 and zinc are essential in your diet if you want good eyesight. When planning your menus, include plenty of green, leafy vegetables, eggs, citrus fruits like oranges and grapefruit, fish with high levels of oil such as tuna and salmon, along with nutrient-rich protein sources like beans and nuts.
Stop Smoking
The more you smoke cigarettes, the more you increase your risk of getting cataracts, macular degeneration and damaging your optic nerve.
Start Wearing Shades
Invest in a good pair of sunglasses that block out at least 99% of the sun’s UVA and UVB rays. Wearing sunglasses not only helps you to see better because you won’t be squinting, they also help to protect your vision against potential damage done by the sun’s ultraviolet light, which can lead to cataracts and premature aging. When driving, you can enjoy sharper vision by wearing sunglasses featuring polarized lenses. You’ll be amazed how much your vision improves by simply remembering to wear sunglasses when outdoors.
Gives Your Eyes A Rest
A smart way to naturally improve your eyesight is to give your eyes a rest break throughout the day. This is especially important if your daily activities involve doing a lot of reading, close-up work, or viewing a computer screen all day. During every hour you are working, devote 10 minutes to giving your eyes a break in the action by either closing them completely or changing their focus totally by getting away from your work and going for a short walk to enjoy the scenery.
Practice Eye Exercises
You exercise your body, so why not regularly spend a few minutes exercising your eyes to improve your eyesight. An easy to do exercise is simply rolling your eyes, looking up and then down, then left and to the right, as far as you can. Massaging your eyes is also helpful.
