Smoking is strongly linked to many health problems; however, did you know that it can also damage your eyes and vision health? Smoking increases your risk of diseases like macular degeneration, cataracts and glaucoma. It also makes it more difficult to treat and control issues like inflammatory disorders of the eyes.
Protect your eyes from the sun by wearing sunglasses with both UVA and UVB radiation protection.
Wear safety glasses or goggles when performing projects like mowing and trimming, construction work, metal work, sawing, etc. Because its high-velocity projectiles are possible and can severely damage the eye.
Practice safe contact lens wearing habits
Don't wear contacts lens past the recommended periods or sleep with them at night, if it isn't designed for that. Wash your hands before handling contacts lenses, disinfect and replace them regularly. Improper use will lead to infections of the cornea, which can lead to severe eye pain and vision loss.
Schedule regular eye exams
You should schedule an annual eye exam after the age of 40, because this is when the eyes begin to age, which should be monitored regularly to prevent eye diseases.
