Eyesight Loss: Symptoms and Natural Treatments Our eyes are one of our most important sensory tools. They are the primary way for most of us to gather information about what's going on around us so we can live, work, interact with people, and move around safely. However, with age, our eyesight may become dim and our eyes tired. It is, therefore, very important that we take good care of them through a proper diet, special exercises, and healthy habits that reduce the amount of stress and effort we put upon our eyes. If you are losing your vision, chances are you may not even know it. Vision loss happens so gradually that you may not recognize you have a problem until it becomes a much larger one. According to the World Health Organization, more than 285 million people worldwide are visually impaired. About 80 percent of those cases could have been avoided or cured with proper treatment. The best way to prevent such deterioration is by going to regular check ups with your eye doctor, but there are additional things you can do yourself to prevent and treat eyesight loss. Natural ways to improve your eyesight: Eating a healthy diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables will keep your eyesight from deteriorating and might even help improve it! Vitamin A, C, and E, are all important to eye health as well as foods rich in antioxidants. It's important to remember that a change in your diet alone will only protect your eyes from more harm and can only lead to a minor improvement in your sight. One of the best ways to naturally improve your vision is to perform daily eye exercises. Don't forget, your eyes have muscles just like your arms or legs. Your first exercise should be to just roll your eyes up and down without straining them too much. Look up as far as you can, and then look down. Repeat this 10 times. Now look to each side, repeating 10 times. Finally, roll your eyes in a clockwise motion about 10 times, then reverse the movement and roll them counter-clockwise 10 times as well. When you're done, massage your temples with your fingertips and gently move to your eyebrows and under your eyes as well. If your eyes feel tired close them and let them rest for a few moments. Just like at the gym, these muscles can get tired if you overwork them. If we are not careful, bad habits can accumulate over time. Even the little things we do can have negative consequences that keep building up if we are prone to doing them regularly. 3- Take more breaks: Practice the "20-20-20" rule. If your work or hobbies involve staring at a screen for long periods of time, take a break every 20 minutes, and focus on a point 20 feet away (6 meters) for at least 20 seconds. It will let your eyes relax a bit and change your focus. 5 - Wear sunglasses: Too much exposure to ultraviolet light can lead to macular degeneration and cataracts. The old myth about staring at the sun has some truth to it, so avoid it when you can. If you don't want to wear sunglasses, a simple hat will also protect your eyes nicely. I hope these tips will help you and that your eyes will continue to serve you well for many more years to come!
