Our eyes are two of our most precious possessions yet, all too easily, we can take good eyesight for granted. Protect your peepers with these low-effort actions:
1. Always wear eye protection when swimming or doing carpentry.
2. Aim your car vents down at your feet, not at your eyes. Air-conditioned air, which is dry, sucks moisture out of the eyes like a sponge, so direct the airflow away from your face. Serious dryness can lead to corneal abrasions and even blindness
3. Eat fish twice a week. Fish are a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids proven to reduce the risk of dry-eye syndrome. If you can't stand fish, try fish-oil supplements.
4. Cook with red onions, not yellow. Red onions contain more quercetin that is thought to protect against cataracts.
5. Wear a large hat or cap along with your sunglasses. A wide-brimmed hat will block roughly 50 percent of UV radiation and reduce the UV rays that may enter your eyes from above or around the shades.
6. Put on sunglasses when ever you leave the house. Not only will they block out the harsh glare of the sun, but they'll also protect your eyes from the drying effects of wind.
its normal to wear sunglasses :)
