"Are you noticing your vision isn’t as sharp as it used to be? Whether you’re glued to screens, reading fine print, or just want to protect your eyes, today’s video is for you! I’m going to share 10 simple tricks to help keep your vision clear and healthy. Let’s get started!"

Trick 1 - Follow the 20-20-20 Rule

"Trick number one – the 20-20-20 rule! Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. It’s like a quick workout for your eyes and helps reduce digital eye strain from screens. Set a timer if you need a reminder!"

 

Trick 2 - Eat Eye-Friendly Foods

"Trick number two – fuel your eyes with nutrients! Foods like carrots, leafy greens, and fish are rich in vitamins A, C, and E, plus omega-3s, which are essential for eye health. Add these to your meals to give your vision a natural boost!"

 

Trick 3 - Wear Sunglasses

"Trick number three – don’t skip the shades! UV rays from the sun can damage your eyes over time. Wearing sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays will protect your vision and help prevent cataracts and other eye problems."

 

Trick 4 - Blink More Often

"Trick number four – blink! When we’re staring at screens, we tend to blink less, leading to dry eyes. Make it a habit to blink more often to keep your eyes moist and comfortable."

 

Trick 5 - Adjust Your Screen Brightness and Distance

"Trick number five – adjust your screens. Make sure your screen is about an arm’s length away and slightly below eye level. Adjusting the brightness to match your surroundings can also reduce strain on your eyes."

 

Trick 6 - Get Enough Sleep

"Trick number six – get your beauty sleep! Lack of sleep can lead to eye strain, redness, and dryness. Aim for 7-8 hours of rest each night to give your eyes a break and keep them refreshed."

 

Trick 7 - Practice Eye Exercises

"Trick number seven – eye exercises! Try this: hold your thumb up at arm’s length, focus on it, then slowly move it closer to your nose and back again. Do this a few times daily to strengthen your eye muscles."

 

Trick 8 - Stay Hydrated

"Trick number eight – drink water! Staying hydrated is essential for your overall health, including your eyes. When you’re dehydrated, your eyes may feel dry and tired. Aim for those 8 glasses a day!"

 

Trick 9 - Limit Screen Time Before Bed

"Trick number nine – put away screens before bed. The blue light from screens can disrupt your sleep and strain your eyes. Try to power down at least an hour before bedtime to give your eyes a chance to relax."

 

Trick 10 - Schedule Regular Eye Checkups

"Last but not least, trick number ten – get regular eye checkups! An eye exam can catch issues early and keep your prescription up to date, which can make a big difference in your vision. Prevention is key to long-term eye health!"
