Your ophthalmologist feels way too happy when you take small habits seriously, because these tiny things save you from big eye problems later.
1️⃣ You wear sunglasses outdoors
Not just for style. They actually protect your retina from UV damage and slow down early cataract formation.
2️⃣ You don’t sleep in contact lenses
Trust me, nothing good has ever come out of “I was too tired.” Oxygen drops, bacteria rises, and suddenly a cute lens becomes an emergency.
3️⃣ You take regular breaks from your screen
The 20-20-20 rule sounds silly. It works. Your eyes aren’t designed to stare at one fixed distance for 9 hours a day.
4️⃣ You avoid using random eye drops
No “my cousin uses this”, no “chemist gave me this.” Some drops give temporary relief but make your problem worse long term.
5️⃣ You eat colorful fruits and veggies
Your macula loves antioxidants. Your retina literally runs on good nutrition.
6️⃣ You get your eyes checked once a year
Half the serious eye diseases begin silently. You won’t feel them. You won’t see them. But we can catch them early.
Your eyes work for you every single second of your life.
Please don’t treat them like a spare backup part.
Take care of them now. They’ll take care of you later. 👁💛
