Did you know that your eye car is very important?
According to health experts, many people underestimate the importance of their eyes until they are obligated to wear glasses.
But in fact, your eyesight can be weakened so easily and quickly.
Below you can find some habits to avoid in order to keep your eyes healthy.
For those of us who love to read, it can be a great way to relax and unwind in the evening. However, reading in a poorly lit environment causes eye strain. Although there is little scientific evidence to suggest this causes damage, it is an easily-reversible habit to safeguard our eye health.
Advice: Shine a light directly on the page, as opposed to over the shoulder.
“Prevention is the best cure” definitely applies to eyecare (remember: 80%). An annual trip to the eye doctor is the best rule of thumb. If you suspect something (anything!) could be wrong with your eyes, a trip to the optometrist should be in short order.
Advice: Be sure to have your eyes checked once a year. (If it helps, have someone call from the doc’s office to remind you.
More specifically: rubbing your eyes when they are itchy. A couple of reasons why this habit is bad: (1) hands/fingers contain a boatload of germs, and (2) frequent eye-rubbing can actually damage the eye’s surface.
Advice: Use a cold compress and place them over the eyes for a few minutes. (Do not use a hot compress, and this can stimulate histamine discharge and make the irritation worse).
The money you save at the cash register for budget eye makeup is definitely not worth it. Many low-cost eye makeup (e.g. mascara) products contain ingredients designed to enhance aesthetic effect, but can actually damage your eyes or eyelashes. Wear expired makeup (looking at you, mascara) can spread bacteria and pose a threat to your eye health.

Advice: Look at the ingredients in any eye care product you buy; note the expiration date, and consider buying eye makeup products from reputable companies.
Not everyone wears shades to look cool (ok, a lot of people do). However, sunglasses – or other protective eyewear – protects the corneas from surface burn. Consistent exposure to the sun’s UVA and UVB rays can manifest into cataracts – the number one reason for vision loss.
Advice: Buy some sunglasses with good surface protection.
