1. Get a regular sight test (at least every 2 years): A sight test is a vital check on the health of the eyes and includes the detection of eye conditions. Many of these, if found early, can be treated successfully, avoiding potential sight loss. A sight test can also detect other health conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes.
2. Eat well: esp. green veg, oily fish, eggs and bright coloured food eg. carrots, oranges, corn.
3. Don’t smoke: it increases risk of macular degeneration and cataract.
4. Get moving: exercise can reduce the risk of sight loss from narrowing or hardening of the arteries, high blood pressure and diabetes.
5. Wear eye protection in bright sunlight: UV rays can cause serious eye damage, including cataracts and macular degeneration.  Sunglasses with UV400 protection can help prevent this.
