Find below a list of top tips from Alcon's eye expert Dr. Frank Eperjesi on how to keep your eyes healthy and in great condition.
•
Eating a healthy and balanced diet incorporating lots of fruit and vegetables will help maintain healthy eyes.
•
Try to limit your alcohol intake.
•
Have regular check ups with an optician - everyone is at risk of eyesight problems whatever their age. Visiting the optician regularly means eye conditions can be identified in the early stages and action taken. Between 50-75 years of age, you should have an eye check at least every two years.
•
Ensure that when reading/working you have adequate light.
•
Always look after contact lenses as detailed by your optician or ophthalmologist.
•
Never sleep with contact lenses in your eyes unless advised to do so by your optician.
•
If something is in your eye, refrain from using your finger to remove it.
•
Wear UV protective sunglasses when in direct sunlight to avoid potential UV damage. Always make sure your sunglasses carry the CE mark, which proves they conform with European safety standards.
•
Consult your optician, pharmacist or GP on the effects of any prescribed drugs that may affect your vision.

sun glasses are often considered as fashion items but the real purpose was to protect our eyes from the harmful UV rays and also to protect those eye cream that we applied from getting contaminated from too much rays.
