Re:Vision say that, as well as having regular eye tests and wearing the correct glasses, there are several things you can do to keep your eyes as healthy as possible. Because our eyesight changes as we get older, almost all of us will need to wear glasses or contact lenses by the time we’re 65, and if you have regular eye tests, wear the right lenses and look after your eyes, there’s a better chance your sight will remain clear.
An eye test is not just good for checking whether your glasses are up-to-date. It’s also a vital check on the health of your eyes, and your optometrist will be able to advise you as to how often you need to be seen. Re:Vision also advise that eating a healthy, balanced diet is important for your eyes. Eating plenty of vegetables and fruit will benefit your overall health and may help protect against some conditions, such as cataracts and age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Similarly, regular exercise can help prevent eye conditions linked to obesity and being out of shape. Glaucoma causes damage to the optic nerve. Simply walking two or three times a week can help lower pressure on the nerve in the eyes. Cardio exercise also increases the flow of blood to the optic nerve and the retina. Because of these effects, overall eye health and vision can be improved, but it’s especially beneficial to people with glaucoma. Vision problems and eye disease also stem from high blood pressure and high cholesterol.
