5.Clean Your Contact Lenses
Take care of your eyes by taking care of your contacts. Always wash and dry your hands before handling lenses. Use only cleaners and drops approved by your eye doctor. Clean, rinse, and dry the case using saline solution — not tap water — each time you remove the lenses, and replace it every two to three months. Don’t wear lenses when you’re swimming or using cleaning products like bleach. Don’t leave daily wear lenses in while you sleep, even for a nap. And don’t wear lenses longer than recommended.
6.Know Your Health History
Many seemingly unrelated health conditions can affect your eyes. High blood pressure and diabetes can reduce blood flow to the eyes. Immune system disorders in the lungs, thyroid glands, or elsewhere can inflame eyes, too. Other threats include multiple sclerosis, aneurysms, and cancer. Tell your eye doctor about any current or past health issues, including family members with eye problems or serious illnesses.
