Proper Care for the Eyes

1. Proper Care for the
Eyes

2. The health of your eyes is very important
for you to see well. There is so much beauty
in the world for you to see and enjoy.

3. 1. Eat foods that are good for the eyes.
These are yellow and green fruits and vegetables.
Examples are carrots, squash, sweet potatoes,
tomatoes, and green leafy vegetables.
These are rich in vitamin A. Vitamin A helps
prevent you from getting night blindness. A person with
this condition cannot see well in dim light.

5. 2. Protect your eyes to avoid eye infection.
An infection is a condition when germs enter
and spread in your body and cause you to get sick.
To prevent eye infections, do not touch your eyes
with dirty hands.

6. 3. Rest your eyes.
When you read or when you use the computer,
take a break from time to time. This will help you
avoid having eyestrain. Eyestrain occurs when
your eyes get very tired.

8. 4. Protect your eyes from very bright light.
Never look straight at the
sun or any bright light. The light
can also cause eyestrain. If you
can, wear sunglasses when you
have to be out in the sun for a
long time.

9. 5. Visit an eye doctor at least once a year.
The doctor will check the
condition of your eyes. Do
this even if you do not feel
anything wrong with your
eyes.
