What can we, individuals do on World Sight Day (and better on daily basis)?
- encourage 50+family members and friends to have regular sight checks so potential diseases are diagnosed early,
- if you spend hours in front of screens (laptops, phones, …) remember to make a small break every 20-30 minutes to look at a far distance (about 6 or more meters) for 20 seconds. This will provide some relax to our eyes,
- you can also have a closer look at your diet. Antioxidant, vitamin and microelements reach products as yellow, orange and green veggies contain lutein that has beneficial effects for retina function. Choose omega-3 acid products (fat sea fish, legume and Italian nuts). Blueberries, pumpkins, apricot are good sources of antioxidants.
