Wear sunglasses that block UVA and UVB rays. Add a hat with a brim when you are outside, even on cloudy days.
Put eye-friendly foods on your plate regularly. Leafy greens, colorful fruit, nuts, and seeds are simple places to start.
If you smoke, make quitting a vision-protection goal. Smoking is linked with faster lens damage over time.
Keep blood sugar and blood pressure under control if you have those conditions. Long-term spikes can affect the eyes.
Stop putting powders, oils, or homemade mixtures into the eye. If a product was not prescribed for eye use, it does not belong there.
Improve lighting at home. Brighter reading lights and reduced glare can make daily tasks easier while you wait for proper evaluation.
Write down how your vision affects daily life. Note problems with reading, driving, stairs, cooking, or recognizing people. That list is useful in an eye clinic.
