BLINDNESS<\/strong> \u2013 \u2013 Poor vision can come from a confluence of factors, including genetics, age, and your personal environment. However, many people just get their corrective lenses, like glasses or contacts, and don\u2019t take other steps to take care of their vision. Especially in today\u2019s world where you\u2019re surrounded by screens, it\u2019s easy to form bad habits that cause further vision problems.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There are many common unhealthy habits you may have that can cause bad eyesight. Notice these habits, break them, and maintain your healthy vision for years in the future.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TOO MUCH SMARTPHONE TIME<\/p>\n

Trying to read the small text on your smartphone can strain your eyesight and cause vision problems, especially if you\u2019re doing for hours daily. Spending too much time on your cell phone can lead to dry eyes, dizziness, blurry vision, and nausea. Give your eyes breaks every 20 minutes and increase the font size if you find yourself struggling.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

RUBBING YOUR EYES TOO FREQUENTLY<\/p>\n

You might think this can\u2019t cause poor eyesight, as \u201ceveryone does it.\u201d However, no matter how much you want to rub them, avoid the temptation. You can break the blood vessels under your eyelids. Consider a cold compress to soothe irritation instead.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NOT INCLUDING EYE-FRIENDLY FOODS IN YOUR DIET<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve probably already heard that carrots are good for your eyesight, but there\u2019s more you can include in your diet to help your eye health. Certain fruits and vegetables are critical to your eyes, especially ones that contain zinc, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins C and E. Yellow- and orange- colored fruited (fruits) and vegetables, dark leafy greens, eggs, nuts, and seafood can all help your eyesight.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NOT DRINKING ENOUGH WATER<\/p>\n

Stay hydrated\u2014it\u2019s essential for tear production and keeping your eyes lubricated. Dehydration will stop you from producing tears, which you need for moisture. Your eyes can also become dry, puffy, and red, which isn\u2019t attractive or healthy.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

SMOKING<\/p>\n

There are many reasons why you shouldn\u2019t smoke, including increased risk of lung and throat cancer, but it can also cause vision problems. Smoking cigarettes and other forms of tobacco are linked to macular degenerations, cataracts, diabetic retinopathy, and other dangerous diseases. In fact, smokers are four times more likely to become blind compared to non-smokers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

NOT GETTING ENOUGH SLEEP<\/p>\n

No matter how much you think you can get by with just a few hours, you need sleep. Without ample rest, your eyes can become red, bloodshot, and you can get dark circles, dry eyes, and blurred vision. With six to eight hours of sleep a night, you can protect your eyes and improve your overall health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
