Your eyesight is one of the most important parts of your life. Without a clear vision, you are unable to function at your fullest potential. Have you ever wondered how some people have 20/20 vision, while others may need glasses or contact lenses?

It is incredibly important to understand the methods for keeping your eyes healthy and functioning well so that you won't have to worry about putting on glasses or contacts later in life.

Of course, this article isn't going to be able to provide any tips for those rare cases where someone has a genetic disorder that causes poor eyesight. But for 95% of the population, these tips will help maintain good vision and reduce your chances of becoming dependent on corrective lenses:

Wear BlueLight Sunglasses

BlueLight sunglasses block UV and blue-violet light. Blue-violet light is the most damaging kind of visible light to your eyes as well as the complete spectrum of color that has been shown to cause macular degeneration. You can wear them even if you do not have perfect vision.

They also work great for computer and reading screens. They come in different tints so you can check out blockbluelight.com.au and find out what will work best for you. We suggest experimenting with a few and find out which tint works best to reduce your screen’s harmful rays. Blue Light sunglasses can be purchased online or in most optical stores. 

Staring at a screen all day is tough on your eyes, and looking at bright screens at night can make it even harder to get to sleep because of something called blue-light exposure.

A good way to combat this effect is installing f.lux, a free program that lessens the amount of blue light you see on your computer's display as the sun goes down based on the time of day and location of where you live (it knows where you are thanks to your computer's GPS).

You can also download third-party apps such as Twilight for Android phones, or Night Shift for iOS devices like the iPhone and iPad which do more or less the same thing. Just using dim lighting in rooms at night will also help.

Wear Sunglasses When Outdoors

We spend time outdoors during the sunny months of the year and with the increased exposure to sunlight, it is important to wear sunglasses when outdoors even if you do not have perfect vision so that your eyes are protected from UV rays.

It is best to purchase sunglasses labeled with 100% UVA & UVB protection. Soak them in soapy water for about 15 minutes then rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry thoroughly before wearing.

This makes them more effective because they will filter out all types of light including harmful rays that can damage your eyes over time. Spray them with a microfiber cloth to give them an extra layer of protection between your face and glasses

Try Some Eye Yoga

It's been said that eye yoga can improve your eyesight by strengthening the muscles around your eyes, improving blood flow to the area, and also relaxation techniques that can lead to better vision.

Believe it or not, studies have found that doing some simple eye exercises regularly can actually improve your eyesight over time. It's all about strengthening the muscles in your eyes and should take less than 15 minutes to do them properly.

All you need is a wall that you can stare at for 10 seconds without blinking, then look towards the ground while blinking repeatedly for another 10 seconds before looking back up again. Do this three times per day if possible.

Don't Forget About Multivitamins

While you may not come down with a case of sniffles every time you get sick, it's still important to support your immune system because at some point everyone gets sick and isn't able to get their full eight hours of sleep every single night.

Making sure you have healthy nutrition and your body is getting plenty of Vitamin B, Vitamin C, and zinc in your diets can help prevent illness and keep your body healthy which will, in turn, lead to better eyesight. Vitamins can also help with stress which can play a big role in blurry vision.

Eating fatty fish, eggs, and green leafy vegetables on a daily basis will give you high levels of Omega 3 Fatty Acids which, in turn, will keep your body healthy and better able to fight off disease. There are also certain vitamins that can greatly help with eyesight, some examples being Vitamin A, B12, C, E, K, and Zinc. The perfect diet for good eyesight is one that contains all of these vitamins in adequate amounts.

Watch Your Diet 

Salmon is one of the best foods you can eat for your eyesight because it's packed with Omega-3 fatty acids, DHA and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) – nutrients that can lower triglycerides and high blood pressure – both of which are risk factors for Photostress, an eye condition that causes temporary vision loss after excessive exposure to bright light like sunlight or computer screens.

One study found that eating fish like salmon at least once a week was associated with sharp declines in the prevalence of cataracts among older adults as well as those people who consumed the most fish had up to 35% less risk of developing cataracts.

There's a reason why people say that carrots are good for your eyesight and it's because they're loaded with Vitamin A, lutein, and zeaxanthin which can help keep your vision sharp as you get older.

These nutrients work together to make sure your macula (the small spot in the middle of the retina responsible for central vision) is healthy and allows you to see fine details clearly. There have also been studies that say eating fruits and vegetables high in these nutrients every day reduces the risk of age-related macular degeneration by up to 25%.

Use Eye Drops If You Wear Contact Lenses

As we get older our eyes change and can become dryer which is why it's a good idea to use eye drops every now and again if you wear contact lenses.

This helps keep your eyes moist by adding either a saline solution or artificial tears to moisten them up again which in turn supports healthy vision. If you don't have any eye drops handy, many pharmacies will actually let you try some before buying them. They're usually available over the counter without a prescription anyway.

There are many benefits to both eating well and exercising regularly, but it's also important to do some simple eye exercises for about ten minutes per day which can help improve your vision over time.

If you find that this doesn't work or if your eyesight is more than hazy, then it may be time to visit your optometrist or to invest in a pair of blue light sunglasses before it's too late.
