Eye Care Tips

Taking care of your eyes is equally important as your overall health. With the increase in screen time, eyes need more attention now as compared to the earlier days. Here are some tips by YourSpex to help you improve the regular habits that can help you keep your eyes healthy. 

Eye Care Tips while Reading: 

  • The book you read should always be about 30 cm (12 inches) from the eyes. 
  • Always maintain a good light on the book you are reading, not on your eyes. We’ll recommend reading in sunlight and let in some natural light. 
  • Whenever reading, the light should come from your back. 

Maintaining Eye Hygiene: 

  • Wash your eyes regularly, remove makeup before sleeping, and never touch your eyes without washing your hands.  
  • Consult with an eye specialist, go for regular eye checkups, have a good diet, and wear good spectacles that can protect eyes from blue light and UV radiation. 
  • Always wear sunglasses outside and make sure to buy sunglasses that can protect from UV rays.
