In this specific case, we refer to the activities that you practice, and that causes eye damage. Most of the time, you don’t realize them, nor do you give them importance. But you should do an eye exam or an eye check now and then.
Like when you have a lot of screen time in front of your tech devices; when you swim with your eyes open in a public chlorinated swimming pool; when you use your mobile equipment with blue light before going to bed; or like when you need to weld without using any eye protection.
There are plenty of practical examples in everyday life that irritate the eyes, and you should avoid this type of exposure at all costs for the sake of your eye health.
Smoking
In addition to not being healthy, cigarette smoke also irritates the eyes. But the problem with smoking goes much further than eye irritation. It can cause total blindness.
This is because the chemicals that are present in tobacco smoke increase the levels of oxidants in the body (decreasing the levels of antioxidants).
These oxidants increase the risk of eye problems such as cataracts and macular degeneration – the two leading causes of blindness worldwide. Stop smoking for the health of your eyes.
7. Perform Eye Exams regularly
At this stage, and due to your life experience, you should be aware that you must always have a preventive attitude towards health problems that may affect you. Can eyesight improve this way? We are sure that it is. You can even have a great view, but you must do regular eye exams to keep it that way.
An eye examination at the right time will allow you to diagnose specific vision problems early and, at the same time, treat them accordingly. And this is the most correct and sensible thing to do, as your eye health depends on it.
Don’t forget: you are old enough to take care of yourself, your health, and your treasures. And there is no greater wealth than a good view!
