10 proven Ways to maintain good vision Till Old Age


Your eyes are one of your most important senses, and it's important to take care of them throughout your life. 


Tips on how to mantain good vision till old age


By following these 10 tips, you can help protect your eyesight and keep your eyes healthy well into old age:


1. Eat a healthy diet.

Eating a healthy diet is important for your overall health, including the health of your eyes. 

Make sure to eat plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. 


These foods are packed with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can help protect your eyes from damage. Some foods that are especially good for your eyes include:


Dark leafy green vegetables: These vegetables are rich in lutein and zeaxanthin, two carotenoids that can help protect your eyes from macular degeneration and cataracts.


Citrus fruits: Citrus fruits are a good source of vitamin C, which is important for collagen production. Collagen is a protein that helps keep your eye tissues strong and healthy.


Fatty fish: Fatty fish, such as salmon, tuna, and sardines, are a good source of omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids are important for reducing inflammation and protecting your eyes from dry eye syndrome.


Nuts and seeds: Nuts and seeds are a good source of vitamin E, which is an antioxidant that can help protect your eyes from damage.


2. Get regular exercise.

Exercise is good for your overall health, including the health of your eyes. 

Exercise can help improve blood circulation, which is important for bringing nutrients and oxygen to your eyes. 


Exercise can also help reduce inflammation and protect your eyes from eye diseases.


Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise most days of the week.


3. Wear sunglasses.

Wearing sunglasses is one of the best things you can do to protect your eyes from the sun's harmful UV rays. UV rays can damage your eyes and increase your risk of developing cataracts, macular degeneration, and other eye diseases.


When choosing sunglasses, look for a pair that blocks 99-100% of UVA and UVB rays.


4. Limit your exposure to digital screens.

Spending too much time looking at digital screens can cause eye strain. 


Eye strain can cause symptoms such as dry eyes, blurred vision, headaches, and neck and shoulder pain.


To reduce eye strain, limit your time on digital screens and take breaks every 20 minutes by focusing on an object at least 20 feet away for 20 seconds. 


You can also try using blue light filtering glasses to help protect your eyes from the harmful blue light emitted by digital screens.


5. Wash your hands before touching your eyes.


Touching your eyes with dirty hands can introduce bacteria and other germs into your eyes, which can lead to infection. 


To help prevent eye infections, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water before touching your eyes.


6. Remove your contacts before showering, swimming, or wetting your face.

Contact lenses can trap bacteria and other germs, which can lead to eye infections. 


To help prevent eye infections, remove your contact lenses before showering, swimming, or wetting your face.


7. Wear safety glasses for even the simplest tasks.


Safety glasses can protect your eyes from flying objects, dust, and other hazards. 


Wear safety glasses when doing any task that could potentially damage your eyes, such as mowing the lawn, working in the garage, or playing sports.


8. Pamper your peepers with a warm compress every day.

A warm compress can help relieve dry eyes and eye strain. 

To make a warm compress, soak a clean washcloth in warm water and wring it out. Place the compress over your closed eyes for 5-10 minutes. Repeat as needed.


9. Stop smoking.

Smoking is bad for your overall health, including the health of your eyes. 

Smoking can increase your risk of developing cataracts, macular degeneration, and other eye diseases.


10. Get regular eye examinations.

Even if you have no vision problems, it's important to get regular eye exams. Eye exams can detect eye diseases early on, when they are most treatable.


The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends the following schedule for eye exams:


Children: every year from birth to age 3, then every 2 years from age 4 to age 18

Adults: every 2-4 years, depending on your risk factors for eye disease

Adults over 65: every year

By following these 10 tips, you can help protect your eyesight and keep your eyes healthy well into old age.


Additional tips:

Use artificial tears or lubricating eye drops: If you have dry eyes, using artificial tears or lubricating eye drops can help relieve the symptoms.

Avoid wearing eye makeup that is too harsh: Eye makeup can irritate your eyes which may cause further complications.
