Make these five foods a staple of your diet to keep your peepers in tip-top shape.

โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €
But eating your way to good eyesight isn't only about beta-carotene. Though their connection to vision isn't as well-known, several other vitamins and minerals are essential for healthy eyes.
โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €โ €

They're packed with lutein and zeaxanthinโ€”antioxidants that, studies show, lower the risk of developing macular degeneration and cataracts.

The yolk is a prime source of lutein and zeaxanthinโ€”plus zinc, which also helps reduce your macular degeneration risk

These fruits are powerhouses of vitamin C, which has been shown to reduce the risk of developing macular degeneration and cataracts.

They're filled with vitamin E, which slows macular degeneration, research shows. One handful (an ounce) provides about half of your daily dose of E.

โ€”

1. Spend Time Outdoors๐ŸŒฒ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŒฟ
- playing and exercising regularly can help protect a childโ€™s eyesight. Studies show that fewer children wear glasses in countries where outdoor time makes up a significant part of each day. 2 hours of outdoor time is ideal to help protect their vision.
-
2. Put digital screens away at bedtime๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ’ค
-using mobile phones no tablets before bedtime can interfere with sleep. For this reason, itโ€™s a good idea to switch off devices an hour before bedtime.
-
3. Protect eyes from the sun๐Ÿ•ถโ˜€๏ธโ˜€๏ธ
- Sunglasses block out harmful UV rays. It is important to select a good quality pair of shades. Look out for the CE quality mark or British Standard mark
- -
- 4. A healthy diet
- 5 portions of fruit and veg ๐ŸŽ๐Ÿ“a day can help protect the eyes by supporting overall health. Vitamins found in oily fish๐ŸŸ๐Ÿ  and green, leafy veges ๐Ÿฅฆ๐Ÿฅฌare great for the eyes!
-
- 5. Book a sight test!
- -3 is a great age to begin regular eye tests to ensure any visual problems are detected and treated early. All children under 16 are entitled to NHS funded eye tests and financial help towards the cost of glasses ๐Ÿ‘“ or lenses.

Not only do sunglasses make you look super stylish but they also play an important role in protecting your eyes from the sun. Our eyes and the skin around our eyes is sensitive and prolonged sun exposure can lead to a variety of ailments. High quality sunglasses can help protect you from the sunโ€™s damaging rays.

-
UV rays can pierce through clouds causing harmful glare and affect your eyes, it is important to find sunglasses with UVA/UVB protection
-
It is import to choose glasses with 100% UVA and UVB protection providing full protection against ultraviolet rays.
-
Polarised glasses help reduce glare from the sun which is important if you are spending a lot of time in the water this summer.
-
As an added bonus sunglasses help eliminate squinting on those non cloudy days too, which means fewer wrinkles and crowโ€™s feet! Win:Win!
-
At Heaton Eyecare we have a range of trendy and high quality shades to give you 100% protection against UV rays. There are many different styles available for both men and women. Prescription sunglasses and Transition lenses also available.
