The start of the new year is all about implementing new habits that can help you become a happier and healthier version of yourself. To help you enjoy better vision and healthier eyes, the team at our Aigburth Road opticians in Liverpool are sharing their top tips on eyecare.
Follow an eye-friendly diet
Diet is an essential part of looking after your wellbeing, but it can also bring additional benefits to your eyes. We recommend eating a diet that’s rich in omega-3 fatty acids, vitamin A, vitamin C, lutein, and zeaxanthin. These nutrients can be found in foods such as eggs, salmon, broccoli, spinach, kale, oranges, and peppers.
Exercise regularly
Regular physical activity can boost your eye health by increasing blood flow to your optic nerve and retina. It also reduces the risk of high blood pressure and cholesterol which can help prevent eye disease.
Quit smoking
Smoking can cause several health-related issues, including increasing the risk of developing sight-threatening eye conditions like age-related macular degeneration and cataracts. It can even damage your optic nerve. Be bold and quit! Your body and eyes will thank you.
Get your eyes tested
Our eye health advice would be incomplete if we didn’t mention the importance of regular eye exams. Getting your eyes tested can help with early detection of sight-threatening eye conditions such as glaucoma. It also ensures that your prescription is up-to-date, and your vision is the best it can be.
Get in touch
"Brilliant service, much more personal than the bigger chains. Did some tests that aren't usually done with bigger chains which means hopefully I've now got glasses that my eyes really need. Lovely help to pick my glasses too. Highly recommend"
