According to researchers, the number of visually impaired people in the

world is increasing really fast. The term visually impaired is not just used to

refer to the blind alone. It may also be used for those whose eyesight are

deteriorating.

The rapid increase is actually alarming. What makes it more dangerous is

the fact that the age when people start to have vision problems is becoming

lower. Even young kids at six or seven already

have vision problems. This has caused many to

draw attention to finding methods to improve

vision naturally.

Of course the best thing to do is to prevent this

from happening to you. So taking proper care of

your eyesight should be a priority. The following are some tips on how to

take care of your eyes:

• Eat healthy-the eyes need certain nutrients like vitamin a and beta

carotene which can be found in some fruits and veggies.

• Don’t strain your eyes-avoid using the pc for a long time or reading for

long hours. This will strain your eyes and cause damage. If you really have

to do it then try to give your eyes frequent breaks in between your tasks.

• Wear protection-wear sunglasses with uv protection to shield your eyes

from the harmful rays of the sun.
