Eye friction
According to Johns Hopkins, many people are familiar with rubbing their eyes to quickly relieve itching or irritation. However, this Seemingly harmless habit can cause serious harm.
Frequent friction increases the risk of keratoconus – a condition in which the cornea becomes thinner and weaker, which leads to increased photosensitivity and a decrease in visual acuity.
Lack of sunglasses
The National Institute of Eye Health recalls: sunglasses protect against ultraviolet radiation, which is associated with the risk of cataracts, age -related macular degeneration and even skin cancer.
It is especially important to remember that the basal cell carcinoma-the most common type of cancer of the eyelids-is directly related to the effects of UV rays.
The American Academy of ophthalmology advises to wear sunglasses with maximum protection against ultraviolet radiation (UV400 marking) all year round, and not just in the summer.
In winter, protection is also necessary, because snow and ice surfaces reflect the sun’s rays, enhancing their effects. Without glasses, you can get photo ceratitis – a painful sunburn of cornea.
Long -term stay in front of the screens
The clock spent at the computer or with the phone can cause digital eye voltage. It is accompanied by a headache, a feeling of dryness and temporary blurred vision.
When working with screens, a person blinks less often, which worsens moisturizing the eyes. To reduce the load, it is recommended to take short breaks every 20 minutes and look at objects in the distance.
Sleep in contact lenses
According to centers for the control and prevention of diseases, the lenses must be removed before bedtime and stored in a clean container with a fresh disinfectant solution.
You can’t sleep or swim in lenses – this significantly increases the risk of serious infections that can threaten vision.
Excessive drinking
Alcohol is able to damage the eye tissue, including the cornea and retina. In addition, it can accelerate the development of glaucoma – a disease in which the visual nerve is gradually destroyed.
Important nutrition and inactive
A healthy diet plays a key role in maintaining vision. Vitamin is important for the health of the retina, vitamin C helps to reduce cataract risk, and omega-3 fatty acids protect the eyes from glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration.
Regular physical activity, such as walking or swimming, helps to reduce intraocular pressure and blood pressure, reducing the likelihood of glaucoma.
Uninhabited makeup
According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the use of overdue or poor -quality cosmetics can cause irritation of the eyes and inflammation.
Before applying makeup, it is important to cleanse the eyelids and avoid applying cosmetics to the eyelash growth line – this can clog the sebaceous glands necessary for natural moisturizing the eyes.
To reduce the risk of infections, you can not use other people’s cosmetics and you should always relieve makeup before bedtime.
