Our eyesight is extremely sensitive and delicate. It's crucial that we do all we can to take care of our eyes. A lot of us take our eyes for granted. It's easy to let our screens or sunlight do damage to our eyes without even noticing.

You can avoid eye damage, or avoid making it worse, by doing the following:

• If you wear glasses, make sure to choose the right ones. And if you don't wear glasses, make sure you have a pair of sunglasses to protect your optical health in the sunlight. Sunglasses that filter 75–95% of visible light and block 99–100% of UV-A and UV-B rays are ideal. Keep up with your optician appointments and always follow his or her instructions.
• To prevent eye strain, give your eyes a break. Start practicing the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, stare at an object 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This is especially important for those of us who spend a large chunk of our days staring at our office computers.

• Stop smoking.
• Embrace healthy eating habits.
• Get 7-8 hours of sleep per night.
• Keep up with regular doctors' appointments.
