Introduction
Our eyes are constantly working, whether we are looking at screens, driving, or spending time outdoors. Yet, few people adopt the right habits to preserve their visual health.
At Excellence Clinique, we place particular importance on prevention and visual education. Discover our 7 practical tips for protecting your eyes and maintaining healthy vision at any age.
1. Have Your Eyes Checked Regularly
An annual consultation with an ophthalmologist allows for the early detection of disorders like myopia, presbyopia, or glaucoma.
A routine exam at Excellence Clinique helps prevent complications and adjust your visual correction if necessary.
2. Adopt the 20-20-20 Rule
To prevent eye strain caused by screens: Every 20 minutes, look at an object 20 feet (approx. 6 meters) away for at least 20 seconds. This simple habit reduces dry eye and headaches.
3. Protect Your Eyes from the Sun
UV rays can damage the cornea and accelerate eye aging. Always wear certified UV400 sunglasses, even on cloudy days.
4. Hydrate Your Eyes and Body
Proper hydration contributes to the quality of the tear film. Remember to drink enough water and, if necessary, use artificial tears in case of dry eye.
5. Monitor Your Diet
Vitamins A, C, E, and Omega-3s contribute to the health of the retina and the lens. Prioritize a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and fatty fish (sardines, salmon, mackerel).
6. Avoid Rubbing Your Eyes
This action, often considered harmless, can weaken the cornea and worsen certain conditions like keratoconus. In case of discomfort or itching, consult an ophthalmologist instead.
7. Protect Your Eyes at Work
If you are exposed to dust, chemicals, or screens, wear appropriate protective equipment. Workplace prevention is essential for maintaining long-term vision.
