If you want to be able to win races, you’ll invest in a good pair of running shoes. If you want to be able to drive to work every day, you’ll keep your car in good condition. It’s just common sense to spend time taking care of the tools you need to achieve your goals, right? Of course it is! But when you think about this ordinary, everyday maintenance you do to keep your life running smoothly, do you include your eyes in the equation? After all, if you don’t have healthy eyes, you’re not going to be able to read as quickly as you need to in order to get through all of the information you’ve got to deal with every day. When you have healthy eyes, the muscles in your eyes are more flexible, allowing you to maintain a faster reading speed and a better focus. Here are five tips for keeping your eyes in top shape:
Get a regular eye exam. In the last post we discussed how often you need to have your eyes checked, depending on your age and your vision. If you haven’t already scheduled your next exam, put it on your to-do list today.
Stretch your eye muscles. The muscles in your eyes are just like the ones in the rest of your body, and they can get stiff and painful if overworked. For a quick exercise to gently stretch and relax your eye muscles, close your eyes and then slowly “look up” and hold your eyes in that position. Rest a minute, still with your eyes closed, then “look down” and hold the position. Repeat, moving your eyes from side to side.
Rest your eyes frequently. Just closing your eyes and taking some deep breaths is often enough to give your eyes a rest, but keep in mind that you need to let the muscles in your eyes relax regularly. There’s a fun and free download called “Eyes Relax” that will give your eyes a virtual massage. You can also simply take a break and go through this easy exercise: (1) close your eyes and breathe slowly for 30 seconds; (2) open your eyes and focus on something across the room and breathe slowly for 30 seconds.
Keep your eyes hydrated. Your eyes are made up of over 90% water, both internally (vitreous humour) and externally (aqueous humour). Help maintain this natural balance and drink lots of water. If your eyes are dry, or irritated due to dust or allergies, you can use eye drops to rinse them. In general, your eyes are naturally rinsed every time you blink, so close your eyes frequently to let your tear ducts operate as they’re designed to.
Eat right for your eyes. Eye health is delicious! Eat carrots and sweet potatoes for their megadoses of beta carotene, and get your supply of vitamin C in bell peppers. Both of these nutrients are also antioxidants, which keep your eyes young and healthy. Spinach has lutein, which has been shown to protect the retina. And don’t forget the omega-3 fatty acids in salmon and sardines, which protect the health of the blood vessels in your eyes.
