Your eyes work all day so a few simple habits can help you take better care of them.
If you spend long periods looking at screens, try the 20-20-20 approach: every 20 minutes, look at something at least 20 feet away for about 20 seconds. This can help reduce digital eye strain.
Adequate hydration, regular sleep and a varied diet containing nutrient-rich foods also support general health.
When outdoors, sunglasses that block 100% of UVA and UVB rays can help protect the eyes from ultraviolet exposure.
Regular eye examinations are also important because some eye conditions may develop without obvious symptoms early on.
One correction: the image’s specific “7–9 hours for eye recovery” wording should not be interpreted as an eye-specific prescription. Sleep needs vary, although most adults generally need at least seven hours.
