Your eyes work tirelessly from the moment you wake up until you close them at night. Maintaining their health is easier than most people think — it comes down to small, daily habits.
- Start by practicing the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes of screen use, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
- Always keep your environment well-lit when reading or working to reduce strain. Don’t rub your eyes, as it spreads bacteria and can cause irritation.
- Sunglasses are not just for sunny days — they protect your eyes from harmful UV rays even on cloudy days.
- Drinking enough water also helps prevent dry eyes.
- Regular sleep gives your eyes the rest they need, and keeping screens at a proper distance prevents unnecessary strain.
- If you use contact lenses, follow hygiene guidelines strictly.
- And finally, schedule regular eye checkups, because many issues develop silently.
These simple practices go a long way in keeping your vision sharp for years.
