Top 3 Vision and Eye Health New Year’s Resolutions

2022 is underway, but it’s never too late to make new resolutions. Now is a great time to resolve to develop good eye health habits and break bad ones. Vienna Eyecare Center, the premier eye doctor in the area, has a few excellent suggestions:

  1. Observe proper eyewear use and maintenance. Prescription eyeglasses and contact lenses offer a safe and effective way to correct vision disorders. But they require proper usage and maintenance to ensure your safety and comfort. For this reason, you should:

  • Always wash and dry your hands carefully before handling your contacts.

  • Clean your eyeglasses and contact lenses only with the appropriate cleaning solution recommended by your trusted local optometrist.

  • Never wear your contact lenses longer than necessary, including while sleeping.

  • Store your eyeglasses inside their case when not in use or when you’re on the go.

  1. Schedule regular eye exams. Having your eyes checked periodically by a vision specialist like Vienna Eyecare Center can go a long way in helping you maintain clearer and healthier eyesight. An eye exam allows for early detection of any vision problem you probably didn’t know you have. This, in turn, means you’ll be able to mitigate it–or have it treated–promptly before the issue has a chance to worsen and lead to vision loss.

  1. Consider healthier food options. Eating well is good, but eating healthy is even better. Good eyesight is linked to a proper diet, so make sure to add vision-boosting food choices to your everyday meals. Fish–such as salmon and tuna–collard greens, whole grains, citrus fruits, nuts and eggs are just a few examples.
