The Eyes Have it!
7 Tips on Keeping Your Eyes Healthy
* Get a thorough eye examination every year or two (annually after age 60)
* Eat a healthy diet with at least five fruits and vegetables a day
* Load up on green leafy vegetables like spinach and kale
* Wear sunglasses with maximum ultraviolet protection (block 99-100% of UV-A and UV-B rays)
* Take periodic rest breaks from your computer or other close work to relax your eyes
* Find out how any drugs you are taking may affect your vision
* Be alert for symptoms indicating a need for prompt consultation with your optometrist or ophthalmologist - blurred or distorted vision, pain in the eye, squinting, eye irritation or eye fatigue
