The Worst Things You Could Do for Your Eyes

Your eyes are remarkably resilient, but everyday habits can gradually damage your vision without you realizing it. From excessive screen time and skipping eye exams to smoking and poor nutrition, many common behaviors increase the risk of eye strain, dry eye disease, cataracts, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and other vision problems.

Fortunately, most of these risks are preventable. By adopting healthy habits, protecting your eyes from injury and ultraviolet (UV) light, and seeking regular eye care, you can help preserve your vision for years to come.
