Your eyes work hard every day — and like the rest of your body, they benefit from a little care. These simple habits and exercises can reduce strain and support long-term vision health.

Daily Habits That Help

  1. Follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds.
  2. Blink often: full blinks keep your eyes lubricated — especially at screens.
  3. Get outdoors: natural light and distance viewing reduce myopia risk.
  4. Wear UV protection: UV400 sunglasses shield your eyes from harmful rays.
  5. Eat for eye health: leafy greens, omega-3s, and colorful fruit support vision.

Simple Eye Exercises

  • Focus shifting: alternate focus between your thumb and a distant object 10 times.
  • Palming: cup warm palms over closed eyes for 30 seconds to relax them.
  • Figure eights: trace an imaginary sideways "8" with your eyes to improve flexibility.
  • Near-far focus: hold a pen at arm's length, then bring it slowly toward your nose and back.
