10 habits that cause vision loss
Due to some unhealthy habits, our eyesight declines from a young age.
 |
| 1. Using a cosmetic product for too long: Eye doctors recommend that you throw away eye makeup that you have used for more than 3 months. The reason is because bacteria that have accumulated on makeup tools can cause infections. |
 |
| 2. Eating too much wheat: Eating too much wheat leads to an increase in insulin levels in the body. According to scientists, this can cause the eyeballs to stretch, which is why the vision becomes nearsighted. And although researchers doubt that wheat is the reason why there are so many nearsighted people in the world, they have proven that it definitely affects the development of the eye. |
 |
| 3. Using eye drops without a prescription: If you start using eye drops without a prescription, it means that your eyes are feeling uncomfortable. Moreover, eye drops are only a temporary solution. You should see a specialist before you buy more eye drops. |
 |
| 4. Not drinking enough water: If we drink less than 8 glasses of water a day, our body starts to get dehydrated. It leads to low tear production, making the eyes prone to dryness. |
 |
| 5. Don't wear sunglasses in winter: Doctors warn that ultraviolet radiation reflected by ice and snow can cause snow blindness (swollen eyelids, watery eyes). This is why eye doctors recommend wearing sunglasses even in winter. |
 |
| 6. Not getting enough sleep: If your eyes don't get enough rest, you may experience symptoms like unfocused vision and dark circles. |
 |
| 7. Not keeping enough distance when reading: Scientists have shown a strong connection between the way a person reads and the condition of their vision. They are convinced that people who read books every day and hold them too close to their face often have poor eyesight. |
 |
| 8. Frequent eye rubbing: If you rub your eyes when they are tired or itchy, it will help relieve the discomfort. However, if you rub your eyes frequently, you can affect the cornea. |
 |
| 9. Working in stressful conditions: If your eyes hurt or feel uncomfortable when working with a computer, (excluding the cause from the screen), scientists believe that the main cause is work pressure and a stressful environment. |
 |
| 10. Forgetting to remove contact lenses: Your cornea receives oxygen when we are awake and moisture from our tears when we are asleep. But when you wear contact lenses for 24 hours, the cornea does not have the necessary supply of moisture and oxygen, so it becomes weaker. |
