When is the last time you visited the eye doctor? If it’s been a while, the staff at Wing Eyecare of Greater Cincinnati wants patients to know that even if everything feels alright with their eyes, there may still be trouble brewing. In fact, once you start to notice problems with your eyes, most of the damage is already done. So if you want to maintain great vision, you need to stay proactive.

Here are four tips eye doctors suggest for maintaining good eye health:

  • Schedule Eye Exams: Visiting your eye doctor is hands down the easiest way to keep your eye health in check. They’ll be able to spot warning signs and make suggestions or offer treatment to correct potential issues.
  • eye doctorAvoid Dry Air: You can’t control the weather, but you can manage your home environment. Prevent the irritation of dry eyes by keeping a humidifier handy. 
  • Take A Break From Screens: Staring at a computer or television set all day puts tremendous strain on your eyes. Take a short break every 20 minutes or so to give your eyes a rest.
  • Eat Fruits & Vegetables: Spinach, kale, brussel sprouts, blueberries, and blackberries are all packed with carotenoids that fight against macular degeneration. Try to eat some of these every day if it’s possible.
