Additionally, advanced imaging technologies and AI-driven diagnostics are enabling earlier detection and more precise interventions, improving outcomes. With ongoing research and clinical trials, the future of retina care is brighter than ever, offering patients renewed possibilities for preserving and even regaining their sight.

Here are three benefits to starting your day off relaxed, with a glass of lemon water and a minute or two of light contemplation:

1. Boosted Energy and Mood: Waking up early and drinking a glass of water rehydrates your body, kickstarting your metabolism and increasing alertness. Exposure to morning sunshine helps regulate your circadian rhythm and boosts serotonin, improving mood and energy levels.

2. Enhanced Productivity: Starting your day early with water and sunlight provides a calm, focused start, allowing you to plan and tackle tasks before distractions arise. The natural light also enhances cognitive function, helping you stay sharp.

3. Improved Physical Health: Drinking water first thing aids digestion and detoxification, while early sunlight exposure promotes vitamin D production, supporting bone health and immunity. This routine fosters consistency in healthy habits.
