Have you ever thought of how a blind persons dreams would be...
Do they see in their dreams...?
Just wondering...😂
This is why you have to take good care of your eyes. I know you don't want to have this awkward experience

On the contest instructions, it was stated "share your eye care routines"
But before that, let's learn about our eyes and know what eye care routine is.

ABOUT THE EYE

The eyes are often the most sensitive part of the body and they are also incredibly complex organs that requires proper care and attention to ensure optimal health. Also, eyes are constantly being exposed to harsh environmental factors like sunlight, dust, and pollution, making them vulnerable to various eye conditions if not properly taken care of.

WHAT ARE EYE CARE ROUTINES

Eye care routines consist of a variety of activities or practices and habits that are aimed at maintaining the health of our eyes. These routines are essential for preventing eye diseases and maintaining good vision throughout our lives.

Regular eye examination

It is important to get regular eye exams to monitor the health of our eyes and detect any potential issues early on.

Eye exams can help identify conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration, which can lead to vision loss if left untreated.

Wearing sunglasses

Just like our skin, our eyes are also susceptible to damage from UV rays. Wearing sunglasses that offer UV protection can help prevent conditions like cataracts and macular degeneration. It is important to wear sunglasses whenever you are outside, even on cloudy days.

Healthy diet

Eating a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables can help protect your eyes from diseases like macular degeneration and cataracts.

Foods like carrots, leafy greens, and fish that are high in omega-3 fatty acids are particularly beneficial for eye health.

Good hygiene

Keeping your eyes clean is essential for preventing infections and irritations. Avoid rubbing your eyes with dirty hands and make sure to wash your hands before touching your eyes.

It is also important to remove your makeup before going to bed to prevent eye infection.

Screen time regulation

In today's digital age, we are constantly exposed to screens from smartphones, computers, and TVs. Staring at screens for prolonged periods can lead to eye strain and fatigue. To prevent this, follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

Staying hydrated

Drinking plenty of water throughout the day can help maintain the moisture levels in your eyes and prevent dryness.

Dehydration can lead to dry, itchy, and irritated eyes, so make sure to stay hydrated to keep your eyes healthy. Also water makes the eyes look brighter.

There are some other minor practices that we can either quit or continue in order to maintain healthy eyes. They are;

Getting enough sleep
Exercising regularly
Quit smoking
Use protective eye wears
Avoiding rough touches around the eye area.

In conclusion, practicing these eye care routines into your daily life can help maintain the health and well-being of your eyes. Note, taking care of your eyes is essential for maintaining good vision and preventing vision problems as you age. So, make sure to prioritize eye care and visit your eye doctor regularly.
