What are ways of taking care of my eyes?!
Question: What are ways of taking care of my eyes?
Answers:
The best way maintain good eyesight: See an eye specialist for a comprehensive dilated exam every 2-3 years. Do not smoke and try to avoid second hand smoke. Wear sunglasses when outdoors. Eating a diet rich in red, yellow and green leafy vegetables (lutein & beta-carotene) may help you maintain good vision and avoid getting certain diseases, like age related macular degeneration and certain cancers, but will certainly not improve vision.
Eating foods rich in Vitamin A certainly won't harm you and may even help avoid certain age related eye disease, but it won't improve your vision. Eye exercises and eye vitamins won't improve your vision either. Anyone advocating these alternative methods of improving vision is putting the public at risk by recommending that these methods can cure eye disease or trauma and that your vision can be improved without corrective lenses or surgery. Diet and eye exercises would take many, many years for one to see even a minuscule improvement in vision.

Drink plenty of water so your eyes stay lubricated. Avoid bright lights blasting into your eyes, wear hats and sunglasses. Wear safety glasses when you are not wearing sunglasses at all times. In fact You should wear goggles because they seal to the face. Drip some Systane Ultra in your eyes several times a day to increase lubrication. Get eyes tested every year at optometrist. Get tons of antioxidants through juicing, this will improve health.
