Eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids: These provide essential nutrients like vitamins A, C, and E that support eye health.
Protect your eyes from the sun: Wear sunglasses with UV protection whenever outdoors, even on cloudy days.
Reduce screen time: Take regular breaks from screens, including computers, phones, and televisions, to give your eyes a rest.
Limit smoking and alcohol: Both can contribute to eye diseases.
Get regular eye exams: Early detection of potential problems is crucial for maintaining good vision.

Be alert to these symptoms and seek immediate medical attention if you experience any of them:
Sudden vision loss or blurry vision: This could indicate a serious condition like macular degeneration or retinal detachment.
Double vision: Can be a sign of cataracts, tumors, or nerve damage.
Flashes of light or floaters: These can be early signs of retinal detachment.
Severe eye pain or redness: Could indicate an infection or inflammation.
Drooping eyelids or changes in pupil size: May be associated with neurological conditions.

Sun exposure is a major risk factor for eye damage, so always prioritize good sun protection:
Wear sunglasses with UV protection: Choose glasses that block UVA and UVB rays, ideally with a label stating “100% UV protection.”
Wear a wide-brimmed hat: This provides added shade for your eyes and face.
Seek shade: Avoid direct sunlight, especially during peak hours (10 am to 4 pm).
