Eye Health is Important for Entire Body

Woman's Blue Eye

Maintaining great eye health will benefit your entire body. Often when there is something wrong with our bodies, an eye examination will reveal it. Healthy adults should get their eyes examined every 2 years. If you have diabetes or high blood pressure it’s recommended that you visit your eye doctor yearly.

For example, if you have diabetes and you experience unexplained blurriness it could be a sign your blood sugar level is too high. Be aware though, that simply rubbing your eyes can cause blurry vision. Sometimes during a high pollen day, my eyes get dry which causes itchiness. If I rub my eyes I notice they get blurry afterwards. Same affect if you lay on your side and your eyes touch your pillow, any touching of the eyes can cause blurriness.

If you don’t wear good quality eyewear that protects your eyes from the uva/uvb rays, your eyes can actually get damaged. Too much exposure to uv rays can cause cataracts over time. Always wear good quality protective sunglasses when outdoors on a sunny day!

A balanced diet, giving up smoking, drinking carrot juice/eating carrots as well as taking good supplements will help keep your precious eyes healthy during your lifetime.
