We exercise, eat vegetables and fruit, cut out empty calories, drink gallons of water all in the name of good health. These are some of the preventative measures that we undergo to promote our good health. But is all that preserving the often forgotten organ, our eyes?
According to the National Institutes of Health (NIH), blindness is the most feared disability. In addition, roughly four million people are at risk of becoming blind from age related macular degeneration (AMD). This disease results in a wear and tear of the retina. Age-related cataract, which is a clouding in the lens of the eye, affects about 50 percent of people 50 years and older. There are various reasons, some are poorly controlled high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. Here are some tips to maintain your optimum eyes sight.
Invest in regular eye checkups. When was the last time you had an eye exam? If it was age 3, chances are you're due. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) recommends an eye exam before age 5 to check for childhood problems like lazy eye or crossed eyes. From age 5 to age 19, visits are recommended on as-needed basis. One eye exam is recommended in your 20s, and two in your 30s. Once you reach the age of 40, set up your exams every two to four years. This may vary based on your health history.
Protect your eyes with sunglasses. Sunglasses block ultraviolet and other rays than can play a role in cataracts macular degeneration. Fair-skinned individuals are at higher risk for the latter. Your sunglasses need to have 100 percent UV protection. Protect your eyes when outside not just during summer but especially in high glare environments like water or snow.
Take proper care of your contact lenses and carry a pair of glasses in case of irritation. It is important to carry your solutions and keep your contacts clean.
Healthy eating promotes eye health. Carrots are rich in vitamin A, which the retina needs. Green leafy veggies are good for the eyes because they contain lutein, which studies indicate can reverse symptoms of macular degeneration. Omega-3 fatty acids from fish and flax can help prevent dry eyes.
Our eyes age as we age. "The biggest reason people have dry eyes is that the tear film doesn't have the right consistency of water, mucus and oil", says Dr. Mogk. Omega-3 helps with this issue. Be aware that heat and air conditioning can cause dryness, especially if you sit near a fan unit.
Blink frequently when working on the computer or complex project. Any focused work requires blinking frequently.
Support the health of your eyes naturally. Include a daily use of Herbalife Ocular Defense Formula, to keep your eyes in good condition by providing your body with needed vitamin A, lutein, bilberry and other vital nutrients.
Billberry is a well know folk remedy for vision especially for those that have difficulties seeing at night.
