6 Tips For Healthy Eyes

Our eyes are said to be the windows to our soul, so it’s important to take care of them! Jokes aside, eyes are one of the most important organs i our body, and it’s pretty important to take good care of them. Here are six tips to help you keep your eyes healthy:

1. Eat healthy foods: Eating a diet rich in fruits and vegetables is good for your overall health, including your eyes. Foods like leafy greens, oranges, and salmon are especially beneficial for eye health.

2. Get regular eye exams: It’s important to have your eyes checked regularly by an eye doctor, even if you don’t have any vision problems. These exams can detect early signs of eye diseases.

3. Wear sunglasses: ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun can damage your eyes, so it’s important to wear sunglasses that block UV rays when you’re outdoors.

4. Quit smoking: Smoking is bad for your overall health, including your eyes. It increases your risk for developing cataracts, macular degeneration, and other eye diseases.

5. Limit screen time: Too much screen time can lead to digital eye strain, which can cause dry eyes, headaches, and neck and shoulder pain. Try to take breaks from screens every 20 minutes or so to reduce your risk.

6. Use safety gear.: If you work in a job that involves hazardous materials, be sure to wear the appropriate safety gear to protect your eyes.

High Salt Intake May Increase Early AMD Risk🧂
Study done in China also finds that, surprisingly, eating meat decreased the chances of disease development.
A recent study published in BMC Ophthalmology noted that there was a high frequency of early AMD detected through health examination in patients over 60 years old. Notably, high salt intake increased the risk of early AMD (odds ratio: 1.61), whereas intake of meat decreased the risk (odds ratio: 0.90).
However, the dietary pattern adopted by the elderly in Hunan, China, is high-fat and meat-dominant with limited carbohydrates, which is similar to the characteristics of a ketogenic diet. The researchers proposed that this observation needs to be validated in a prospective cohort study. www.reviewofoptometry.com/article/high-salt-intake-may-increase-early-amd-risk
