How to Promote Eye Health Awareness: 

•Regular eye examination:

Get regular dilated eye exams to detect eye diseases early. 

•Know your family history:

If you have a family history of eye diseases, be especially vigilant about eye health. 

•Protect your eyes from the sun:

Wear sunglasses that block 100% of UV rays and consider wearing a hat to protect your eyes from the sun's harmful rays. 

•Quit smoking:

Smoking is linked to an increased risk of developing age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, and other eye diseases. 

•Maintain a healthy weight:

Being overweight or obese increases your risk of developing diabetes, which can lead to vision loss. 

•Eat a healthy diet:

A diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and omega-3 fatty acids can help protect your eyes. 

•Use protective eyewear:

Wear protective eyewear when playing sports or doing activities around the home that could potentially injure your eyes. 

•Take breaks from screen time:

Prolonged screen time can cause eye strain, so take regular breaks to rest your eyes. 

•Lubricate your eyes:

If you experience dry eyes, use artificial tears to keep your eyes moist. 

•Don't rub your eyes:

Rubbing your eyes can irritate them and potentially damage them. 

•Keep your glasses and contact lenses clean:

Regularly clean and store your glasses and contact lenses to prevent infection. 

•Spread the word:

Educate others about the importance of eye health and encourage them to take care of their vision.
