Key triggers for eye deterioration and top 5 ways for vision improvement
To come up with an efficient tactic for protecting our eyes and strengthening the power of sight, experts of Vision Care recommend taking a brief look at key triggers:
Genetics. The risks of developing nearsightedness, glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa are higher in children whose parents also experience such conditions. But the hereditary factor is only a predisposition to the disease. If preventive measures are taken and correct therapy is prescribed, the likelihood of some pathologies and genetic eye diseases can be reduced to zero.
Modern life is affecting people's eyes. The life of a modern person is inextricably linked with digital devices. There are three imperative things that a person living in the contemporary world should worry about:
Constant eye strain, known as asthenopia that is accompanied by such symptoms as tiredness, soreness, and achiness, can provoke serious consequences.
Blue light released by gadgets screens reaches the retina that is a layer at the back of the eyeball that contains cells sensitive to light, damaging them and leading to early age-related macular degeneration.
Having uncorrected vision and dry eyes due to "too much screen time" can cause fatigue and stress.
Age-related worsening. Over the years, the eye muscles weaken, the size of the pupil decreases, and the elasticity of the lens degrades. Without any actions aimed at vision improvement, all this leads to disruption of the visual system, so people over 50 should be careful about eye health and keep up with regular visits to the eye doctor to avoid:
presbyopia,
temporal arteritis,
glaucoma,
dry eyes,
cataracts.
Refractive errors. Diseases, such as short sight, long sight, astigmatism, are common causes of visual impairment. To correct the impaired refraction, you have to choose the right glasses or start wearing lenses. If you need advice on how to choose the best lenses or you want to know what is contact lens solution right for you or which glasses do you need for vision correction, contact Vision Care professionals to obtain the required information, as well as to learn tips to promote your eye recovery. Here are some of them:
Add regular eye exercises to your daily schedule.
Ophthalmologists strongly recommend resting and doing relaxing exercises regularly throughout the day to diminish your chance of losing vision and to improve eyesight. There is an array of techniques to restore eye function. Sets of exercises, e.g. near and far focusing, figure-eight, palming for eye relaxation, can be chosen by an experienced ophthalmologist.
Keep track of how many antioxidants, vitamins, and nutrients you eat.
Consume a wide variety of foods every day and base your diet on fruit and vegetables. Exploring those products you have to include in your diet, spinach and broccoli are worth mentioning since visual acuity depends on the content of the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which are found in large quantities in the aforementioned greens, as well as in green pea, salad, sorrel. Dairy products are also among the top remedies for improving eyesight naturally since they contain calcium, vitamin A, and zinc. Together, these substances protect the cornea of the eye and prevent age-related changes. There is also scientific proof that omega-3 fatty acids have a positive effect on eye health. Therefore, it is worth diversifying your ration with fish, nuts, and legumes.
Healthy lifestyle choices.
Add bad habits’ quitting, especially smoking, to your eye recovery scheme. Physical activity, walking in the fresh air, healthy sleep are of paramount importance for those who strive to guard vision. A diet full of saturated fat and sugars can also grow risks of eyesight conditions, restricting blood flow to the eyes. Thus, control intake of these components.
Regular comprehensive eye exams.
A complete dilated examination is a sound way to make sure your eyes are healthy. Therefore, you should not ignore alarming signs of discomfort and conduct the diagnosis of vision every 1-2 years. Having eye exams regardless of visual acuity, specialists will be able to detect serious troubles at the earliest phases when they are able to be healed or cured, as ocular issues at the latest phases are difficult to treat in natural ways.
Scientists highlight vitamins A, C, and E as the most beneficial for the eyes. These elements have anti-inflammatory properties that reduce the risk of condition occurrences, such as macular degeneration. A well-created diet may not always repair vitamin imbalance and deliver all the minerals and substances that inhibit oxidation (β-carotene, lycopene, etc.). To minimize potential eye dysfunction, you can support your health with multivitamins and supplements, but consult a doctor to be sure they are right for you.
