Part 1-

Our eyes are one of the most underappreciated parts of the human body. It’s easy for us to take for granted just how much work we put them through every single day. When we do notice something about our eyes, it is normally due to a complication like blurry vision.

Before we dive into how you can support your eyes naturally, let’s start off with some of the possible reasons why your vision might be over-strained in the first place. 


Staring At Screens All Day 

In today’s digital world, it’s fairly common for the average person to stare at screens for hours upon hours a day. Whether that’s a computer monitor, a tablet, or a smartphone, your eyes fatigue just like other body parts do when they are constantly working.


A good way to relieve some of that fatigue is to take breaks every 20 minutes of staring at a screen, and strengthen your eye muscles by using a Tibetan eye chart. 


Smoking

If you need more reasons to stop smoking, you can add this to the list. Smokers are four times more likely to develop AMD (an eye disease that can blur your central vision). They also develop this disease around five years sooner than those who don’t smoke. 


Not Wearing Sunglasses 

While many people wear sunglasses for style points, they are very important to protect your eyes from UV rays. No need to spend hundreds of dollars on a single pair, just ensure they provide 100% UV protection.


Rubbing Your Eyes

We’ve all been guilty of rubbing our eyes. In some instances, there is no other choice. It isn’t a big deal if it happens every once in a while. When it becomes a habit, problems can arise. Did you know there are eye diseases that are associated with eye-rubbing? One of these diseases is called keratoconus, a condition where your cornea thins out and begins to bulge outward in a cone shape. This results in distorted and blurry vision. Oh no! 


However…YOUR DIET CAN HELP. FOOD IS MEDICINE
