• April 29, 2024

Without sight, human beings could not appreciate the beauty of nature, of people or perform their daily activities with accuracy. That is why it is important that you learn how to take care of the visual health of all your loved ones, especially your partner.

According to National Eye Institute (NEI), United States , there are many actions such as the following that can be performed in pairs to maintain good visual health.

1.- Complete exam: Although you enjoy a good view, go with your partner to an ophthalmological consultation to have them perform a complete eye exam, including pupil dilation.

Sometimes only a small correction in vision is needed or there are some visual diseases such as glaucoma, retinopathy or macular degeneration that is detected in early stages with dilated pupils.

2.- Family clinical history: Talk with your partner about the visual illnesses that some members of their families have suffered, so that they have knowledge of the family clinical history. This is very important because some conditions can be hereditary.

3.- Healthy diet: It is important that both you and your partner have a balanced diet that includes beneficial foods for the eyes such as carrots, green leafy vegetables and fish.

4.- Healthy weight: Do exercise with your partner or do activities that encourage the burning of calories, in order to avoid overweight or the risk of developing diabetes or other diseases that lead to poor visual health.

5.- Protective lenses: Ultraviolet rays are very harmful to the eyes, so it is important that they use protective glasses, either solar or for the computer; add a solar radiation filter.

6.- Rest your eyes: If you notice that your partner has spent a lot of time in front of the computer, encourage them to get up for a few minutes or show them the 20-20-20 rule (every 20 minutes, turn your eyes away from the computer and go 20 meters away from it for 20 seconds). With this you will reduce the fatigue and you will have a better visual health.

Remember that cleaning is essential to prevent any kind of disease or infection, especially in the eyes, so do not let them touch you with dirty hands. And you, how do you take care of your visual health as a couple?
