This year's theme from the National Eye Institute and the American Optometric Association says it all: Healthy Lives, Healthy Eyes.
The choices you make every single day can help to sustain the health of your eyes, and the longevity of your vision!
Here are a few simple habits that can go a long way in keeping your vision healthy:
Eat healthy! Leafy greens and omega-3-rich fish can both support long-term eye health, and are easy to find on Kauai.
Wear UV-blocking sunglasses. The island sun can be strong, and UV exposure is one of the leading cause of cataracts and macular degeneration. So, be sure to keep a pair of sunglasses on you at all times!
Follow the 20-20-20 rule. After every 20 minutes of screen time, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds to keep your eyes healthy!
Book an Eye Exam. Glaucoma and diabetic retinopathy often have no early symptoms. A comprehensive eye exam catches things in your overall health and the health of your vision before you might even notice!
