I am sure we
are seeing six out of ten people wearing glasses in this modern age. Sometimes
we think it might be just for a style but the fact is there are lot of eye
sight issues we are facing in this generation of video games and visual
technologies.
There are so
many myths and misconceptions about how to improve our eyesight or prevent eye
problems.
Many of the
eye sight problems are avoidable if we care for our eyes before we get them,
because some vision problems are curable, some can only be treated than cured
and other eye conditions are completely untreatable.
Below are
some best ways to try to improve our eye sight.
Eat Well to See Well:
We all know the fact that ‘We are what we eat’. All our
health issues can be prevented by having a healthy eating habit.
We have been growing up hearing the phrase “Eat carrots to
improve eye sight”. I am sure most of our mom’s ran behind us with vegetable
plates in our childhood.
This tale about carrots helping us to see in the dark is not
completely false. Carrots
contain a fair amount of Vitamin A, which can help to treat night blindness.
And if you don’t like carrots, you can get almost as much Vitamin A from
broccoli leaves, or sweet potatoes. But it’ll only work if you already
have a vision problem caused by Vitamin A deficiency; for healthy eyes, extra
carrots will make no difference.
Healthy foods
for our eyes include green leafy vegetables and fish. A diet with plenty of these food is can help
us preventing vision problems and the age related vision problems as well.
Exercise to Treat Focus Issues:
Eye can improve our eyesight, but only if you suffer from an eye
condition like double vision, uncoordinated eye movements, crossed eyes or an
inability to cross your eyes, all of which hamper your ability to focus your
vision.
Avoid Eye Strain:
Too much strain to your eyes cab lead to problems with
eyesight in the short term and in the log term.
No matter
what you’re doing, stop every 20 minutes or so to look at something else. If
you’ve been doing up-close work, focus on a distant object for half a minute;
if you’ve been staring out into the distance, look at something close by. The
change in distance helps to prevent straining the muscles that adjust the focus
of your eyes.
Another
source of eye strain is light itself. Ultraviolet light damages your eyes, so
wear UV-protective sunglasses to help prevent deterioration of your vision.
Our eyes
evolved to handle light from the sun or a flame, so the electric light from
streetlamps, computer screens and LED's may cause more eye strain than natural
light. Even that isn’t a sure thing, though; the benefits of electrically-lit
experiences can outweigh the downsides.
Play High-Adrenaline Video games:
You might
think certain activities, like watching TV or playing video games, are pretty
much guaranteed to make your eyesight worse. That’s not necessarily true.
Some
video games may help to improve your eyesight.
