Celebrate Sight Saving Month by cultivating habits that will help keep your eyes healthy. While we don’t need to be reminded how important good vision is in our daily activities, we often forget that there are things we can do on a regular basis that will help ensure good eyesight as we grow older. Essilor Philippines, the world’s leading ophthalmic optics company, shares four important habits you can adapt to help you achieve a lifestyle that promotes good eyesight:
Healthy food for healthy vision. Nutrients such as Omega-3 fatty acids, Vitamin C and E, can help ward off age-related vision problems for adults while Lutein helps increase optical density. Studies show that by eating leafy green vegetables, which are rich in these nutrients, decreases the risk of macular degeneration and cataract. Moreover, eating a well-balanced diet can also help prevent other health problems such as diabetes, which is the number one cause of blindness among adults.
