Eye Care

Maintain a good diet by including leafy vegetable, fruits, fish and nuts in your daily diet.

Try taking breaks from the screen time every 20 minutes for 20 seconds by looking 20 feet away. This is popularly known as the 20-20-20 rule.

Avoid smoking. It makes you more prone to cataracts and macular degeneration and can even damage your optic nerves.

Use safety eyewear or protective goggles especially when you indulge in sports like skiing, swimming, cycling etc.

To start cleaning, rinse your glasses with lukewarm water. Dry them gently & always use a microfiber cloth to clean your glasses. Never resort to tissues/napkins/other clothing to wipe your lenses. The harsh texture of these can leave scratches on the lens and remove the protective coatings.

Do not use chemicals or soaps that are scented or contain dyes to clean your glasses either. Always use a protective lens spray to clean. Its specifically designed for cleaning regular smudges, dust and facial oils from eyeglasses. This will not only preserve the shine of the frame but will also help to increase the shelf life of the spectacles.

Do not store glasses in your pockets or backpacks. If you are not wearing them, keep them in a hard case. Leaving your glasses unattended openly can cause dust to form a residue on the sides of the frame which can even enter the eyes and impede clarity.

Avoid placing your glasses on top of your head. Also, use two hands to take your glasses on and off. This will prevent them from getting loose over time. Just in case they do, use a handy Screwdriver to keep them as good as new!
