Your eyes work hard every day—from morning emails to late-night scrolling. These simple habits can help protect your vision and keep your eyes comfortable, no matter your age or lifestyle.
Take Regular Screen Breaks
Give your eyes a breather every 20 minutes by looking away from your screen for 20 seconds at something 6 meters (20 feet) away. This quick reset reduces strain and dryness—especially during long work sessions.
Small daily changes can lead to long-term comfort and visual clarity.
Eat for Your Eyes
Nutrition plays a major role in eye comfort and long-term visual health. Focus on foods rich in carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, meso-zeaxanthin), omega-3s, and antioxidants.
- Colourful veg: spinach, kale, peppers, carrots
- Healthy fats: salmon, sardines, walnuts, olive oil
- Marigold extract source: a natural source of powerful carotenoids
Your eyes are part of your overall wellness—care for them like you do the rest of your body.
Stay Hydrated
Hydration supports tear production and overall eye comfort. Aim for steady fluid intake throughout the day rather than large amounts at once—especially if you work in air-conditioned spaces.
Protect from Blue Light
Blue-light reducing glasses, dark mode, and night-shift settings can help reduce digital glare and end-of-day fatigue. Adjust ambient lighting as well—so your screen isn’t the brightest light source in the room.
- Blink intentionally during focus-heavy tasks.
- Keep screens an arm’s length away and slightly below eye level.
- Use a humidifier in very dry environments.
- Schedule an annual eye exam—even if your vision feels fine.
