Our eyes see everything. When the eyes are unhealthy, it
impairs our vision and makes life pretty miserable. Health Briefs TV explains
the basics of good eye health.
There are many ways our eyes can become irritated, itchy,
watery, blurry and downright unhealthy. Smog in the atmosphere, allergens in
the air, contact lenses left in too long, and many other ways. Bacteria can
build up in the eyes and under the lids and cause major vision and health
issues.
Eating healthy is the easiest and best way to maintain good
eye health. Stock up on nutrients such as lutein, omega-3 fatty acids, zinc and
vitamins C and E.
Sunglasses block the harmful UV rays which can cause the
development of cataracts and macular degeneration. Grab a pair of wrap around
sunglasses and keep eyes safe.
Contact lens wearers should take lens out regularly and clean
and sanitize them well before reinserting them in the eyes.
The Health Briefs TV show also suggests getting a regular
eye exam from an optometrist or an
ophthalmologist annually. Our eyes change as we get older and proper
health care for them is not only essential but vital to enjoying life.
