Things to Avoid to Keep Your Eyes Healthy
Avoid These Habits
• Excessive screen time without breaks – leads to digital eye strain and dry eyes.
• Skipping regular eye checkups – many eye diseases show no early symptoms.
• Rubbing your eyes frequently – can cause infections and corneal damage.
• Poor lighting while reading or working – increases eye strain.
• Not wearing UV-protective sunglasses outdoors – increases risk of cataracts and retinal damage.
• Smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke – linked to serious eye diseases.
• Poor contact lens hygiene – raises risk of eye infections.
• Lack of sleep – causes dry eyes, redness, twitching, and blurred vision.
• Poor diet lacking essential nutrients like vitamin A and omega-3 fatty acids.
• Ignoring persistent eye symptoms such as pain, redness, floaters, or sudden vision changes.
Healthy Habits to Follow Instead:
• Follow the 20-20-20 rule during screen use.
• Stay hydrated throughout the day.
• Blink consciously when using digital devices.
• Eat eye-friendly foods like leafy greens, fish, and colorful vegetables.
• Use protective eyewear when necessary.
