Recently, there has been a lot of research on the harmful rays of the sun, thanks to which we know that the eyes need to be protected and guarded. Here are some tips to help keep your eyes healthy throughout your life!

Steps

1. 1 Buy quality sunglasses. Your eyes deserve them. Polarized sunglasses (which reduce glare, not just change the intensity of light) are better than regular tinted sunglasses.
2. 2 Never look directly into the sun or objects that reflect the sun's rays (shiny metal objects, water, etc.).
3. 3 Never look directly into the sun, even with glasses.
4. 4 Staring into the darkness is also harmful. In a dark room, close your eyes or use a flashlight.
5. 5Get your vision checked by a doctor every six months.
6. 6 Use eye drops as needed. If your eyes are constantly itchy, watery, sore, or red, consult your doctor.
7. 7 Protect your eyes from overvoltage when using a computer or watching TV. Do not watch TV from close range. Do not sit too close to the monitor (this can lead to myopia in the future), do not forget to blink and periodically look away from the screen. The laptop should be on your lap or on another surface at a certain distance - do not place it directly in front of your eyes if you are working lying on the couch. A separate monitor should be on the opposite end of the desktop, the keyboard should be closer to you or on a dedicated stand. Choose a monitor with a large screen and use large print.
8. 8 When reading, keep the book at a distance - this will also reduce the risk of overexertion and the development of myopia. You can place the book on a stand in your lap (such as a pillow) or on a low table at an angle. The computer is easier to read because you don't have to hold it.
9. 9 LSD monitors are less harmful to eyesight than CRT monitors.
10. 10When using a CRT monitor, make sure the refresh rate is significantly higher than 60Hz, such as 85Hz.
11. 11 If your activity may cause small particles or chemicals to enter your eyes, be sure to wear safety glasses. Remove the lenses - they can trap foreign elements, and at the end of the work, rinse your eyes with clean water.
12. 12 When visiting the pool, wear swimming goggles - strong chemicals are used to purify the water and can harm your eyes.
13. 13 Cleanse your eyes. If you feel that something has got into your eye, immediately rinse it with plenty of clean water.
14. 14 Allow enough sleep to rest your eyes.
15. 15 Never rub your eyes. This is what causes eye infections in most cases - germs from your hands and fingers can easily penetrate between the eyelids.

Tips

• Eat lots of fruits and vegetables, especially carrots.
• When watching movies in 3D format, periodically take off your glasses - they tire your eyes.
• Buy quality sunglasses.
• Make sure you have enough vitamin A in your diet.
• Unlike sunglasses, 3D movie glasses do not protect your eyes from harmful rays.
• Designer sunglasses are not always reliable in terms of eye protection.

Warnings

• Never look directly into the sun, even with glasses.
• Avoid getting salt and pepper in your eyes.
• Be extremely careful if you have to bring sharp objects close to your eyes.
