Leading a healthier lifestyle is always\u00a0well represented in resolutions across the globe, from exercise\u00a0to\u00a0eating right, but have you ever taken a moment to consider the health of your peepers?<\/p>\n

Here are five ideas to incorporate into your every day, to maintain or even improve your eyesight.<\/p>\n

Eat (And Drink) Right<\/h2>\n

While eating right is good for every part of you, your eyes need specific kinds of nutrients to function to their\u00a0full capacity, so eat foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids such as salmon and other oily fish, as well as vitamin C, abundant in citrus fruits and vitamin E, in avocados and seeds, in addition to Zinc, which can be found in leafy greens such as spinach.<\/p>\n

Now for the ever popular idea that carrots can help you see in the dark? Well, they can improve your eyesight, as they contain vitamin A, but only in small quantities. Avoiding excess sugar and artificial sweeteners is also a great tip as they can heighten\u00a0sensitivity to light, among other negative repercussions.<\/p>\n

Overall here, the key is to eat a well-balanced diet, rich in all the nutrients mentioned, and your vision will thank you for it.<\/p>\n

Excercise Your Eyes<\/h2>\n

Sit in the same position for hours at a time and you will feel it, and your eyes are no different. Our eyes need breaks from staying focused, especially when staring at the screen of your computer, smartphone\u00a0or TV.<\/p>\n

Try looking away from your\u00a0screen every twenty\u00a0minutes at least, and\u00a0focus\u00a0on a distant object approximately 20 feet away for about 20 seconds to give your eyes a much-needed break. Eye exercises do exist but are not scientifically proven to have any lasting effects. However, if you’d like to give it a whirl, try holding a pencil at arm’s length, focus on it, then bring it to the\u00a0tip of your nose, and repeat, then alternate by focusing on an object in the distance. Consult your optician for more in-depth techniques.<\/p>\n

Remember to always wear your glasses when you need them, even during these exercises, the\u00a0Marc Jacobs MARC 226<\/a>, are a fun pair you’ll never want to take off.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

While this\u00a0tip may seem a given to most, certain individuals may find themselves procrastinating when it comes to getting their eyes tested. This doesn’t only apply to first-time glasses wearers, but also when you feel you may need to change your prescription.<\/p>\n

So get up, make that appointment and see the world in crisp clarity in no time. Plus, it’s an excuse to buy a new pair of specs, like these sophisticated\u00a0JIMMY CHOO JC195<\/a>, and get a new look for 2018 as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Correct Eyewear Care (Make ‘Em Last)<\/h2>\n

https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BdPVJ66Hriu\/?tagged=brokenglasses<\/p>\n

Ever been guilty of just tossing your eyewear into your bag or pocket, without a case or any protection, to be scratched and scuffed beyond repair? We have all been there, you’re in a hurry, you forgot your case or you just can’t be bothered as it is one of those days.<\/p>\n

Try keeping an\u00a0Optical accessories Clean & Care Kit<\/a>\u00a0on your person at all times, as dirty and scuffed lenses can actually be detrimental to your eyesight, and this way you can invest in the specs you’ve always wanted, knowing they will last you for years!<\/p>\n

The sun is one of the main causes of damage to eyesight, and just because the sun is hiding behind the clouds, doesn’t mean its rays aren’t\u00a0making their way through. Think of your sunnies as sunscreen for your eyes and don them religiously!<\/p>\n

These\u00a0Tom Ford FT0591<\/a>\u00a0frames\u00a0will make it easy, as you will actually want to wear them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
