You may not realize it, but some common habits might be harming your eyes.
- Rubbing your eyes can introduce bacteria, cause irritation, or even scratch the surface of your eye.
- Skipping sunglasses exposes your eyes to harmful UV rays, even on cloudy days, which can increase your risk of developing cataracts and macular degeneration.
- Even too much screen time can cause eye strain and discomfort.
Try using eye drops, wearing UV-blocking shades, and following the 20-20-20 rule for screens. Protect your eyes—small changes make a big difference!
