The 20-20-20 rule
If you work at a screen, every 20 minutes look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This reduces digital eye strain and dry eye.
Wear sunglasses
UV light contributes to cataracts and macular degeneration. Choose glasses that block 99–100% of UVA and UVB.
Eat for your eyes
Leafy greens, colorful fruits, eggs and fatty fish supply lutein, zeaxanthin and omega-3s that support retinal health.
See a doctor for
Sudden vision loss, flashes of light, floaters, severe eye pain, or any vision change after a head injury.
