5 Essential Tips for Healthy Eyes

Learn simple daily habits that can protect your vision and keep your eyes healthy for years to come.

Your eyes are precious organs that deserve daily care. Here are five essential tips from Dr. Joanna Latek to help maintain your vision health.


  1. Take regular screen breaks - Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
  2. Wear quality sunglasses - UV protection is essential. Choose sunglasses that block 99-100% of UVA and UVB rays.
  3. Stay hydrated - Drinking plenty of water helps maintain proper tear production and prevents dry eyes.
  4. Get regular eye exams - Schedule comprehensive eye exams annually to catch problems early.
  5. Eat eye-healthy foods - Include leafy greens, fish rich in omega-3s, and colorful fruits in your diet.
