Ophthalmologists are medical doctors specialize in providing comprehensive eye care, ranging from routine eye examinations to intricate surgical procedures.

- Protective Eyewear: Wear sunglasses with UV protection outdoors to shield your eyes from harmful UV rays and reduce the risk of cataracts and macular degeneration.
- Take Screen Breaks: Follow the 20-20-20 rule when using digital devices – every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds to reduce eye strain.
- Proper Lighting: Ensure adequate lighting when reading or working to minimize eye strain and fatigue, and avoid glare from reflective surfaces.
- Get Enough Sleep: Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep each night to allow your eyes to rest and rejuvenate, reducing the risk of eye strain and irritation.
