Any close-up work such as reading and computer work can result in eyestrain. If you suffer from eyestrain your eyes may feel irritated, sore or tired, followed with blurred vision.

To prevent eyestrain make sure you have sufficient light directed at what you’re doing. If you sit in front of computer monitor all day take eye breaks by closing your eyes, blinking or lean back occasionally. You may also wear special glasses or contacts that are right for computer work.
 

Having Yearly Eye Examination

If you’re 50 or older, visit your eye doctor for an eye examination, at least once a year. Even if you have no problem seeing there are several eye diseases that have no symptoms during their early stages. An experienced eye doctor is able to recognize and treat them before it’s too late.

In addition to diagnosing and treating common eye problems you can also keep your eyeglass or contact lens prescription up-to-date. If you’re lucky your eye doctor may find non-eye related diseases during the eye test.
 

Balanced Diets and Aerobic Activities

The activities provide required aging eye care by maintaining the health of crucial eye structures, such as the optic nerve.
