Eyes need to be protected from UV light
What happens everyday: When UVA light hits the eye, it may damage your vision by affecting the macula which is located at the back of the eye. The cornea and the lens of the eye absorbs most of the UVB light.
What happens over time: Over time, these rays may contribute to macular degeneration ( vision loss), cataracts ( clouding over the eye’s lens), and possibly, skin cancer around the eyelids.
How to make the change: You need to start wearing sunglasses or at least a wide brim hat everyday!
How to choose sunglasses: Look for glasses that filter out close to 100% of UVA and B rays and importantly, comfortable to wear. Make careful consideration of whether the glasses can handle heavy play impact – from sports, at the beach, playground.
Food for the eyes
Likes: Carrots, sweet potatoes, kale, apricot, cherries, wild salmon, almonds, pumpkin seeds and chickpeas.
Why: All of these foods are rich in nutrients as beta- carotene ( orange foods), zinc (pumpkin seeds), vitamin E ( almonds), essential fatty acids ( fish).
Dislikes: Sugar
Why: When there is excess sugar or glucose in the body one of the first places it will travel to are the eyes. When at the eyes, it will attach to the lens, form crystallization and eventually cataracts and blindness.
