In addition to visiting an eye doctor, there are several steps you can take to enhance your vision. Continue reading to learn more.

Eating Healthy

We've all heard that eating healthy promotes good eye health. But why is that? Vitamins C, A, E, and zinc all contain important antioxidants that can help prevent macular degeneration. Macular degeneration is a condition where the parts of the eye that manage central vision begins to deteriorate. By eating a healthy mix of key nutrients and foods, you can protect your vision. These foods include:

  • Sweet potatoes
  • Carrots
  • Citrus fruits
  • Broccoli
  • Red pepper
  • Strawberries
  • Salmon
  • Flaxseed
  • Foods with high omega-3 fatty acids

Adhere to the 20-20-20 Rule

Your eyes are one of the hardest working parts of your body. And like anything that works a rigorous schedule, your eyes need a break from time to time. It becomes especially true if you stare at a computer screen all day. To ease the strain and improve your vision, use the 20-20-20 rule that says every 20 minutes you should stop looking at your PC and look at something else that is 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

Wear Protective Eyewear

Whether you're playing basketball, conducting a science experiment, or playing tennis, it's always a good idea to protect your eyes with protective eyewear. This eyewear can prevent sharp objects, chemicals, a stray hand, and other materials from injuring your eyes.

Watch Out for the Sun

Contrary to popular belief, sunglasses aren't just for aesthetics. Instead, you can wear sunglasses to protect and even improve your eyesight. Look for sunglasses designed to block either 99% or 100% of the sun's damaging UV rays.
