According to the American Academy of Ophthalmology, at least 150 percent more people will develop vision problems in the next 30 years. Mentioned below are some of the most common habits that people adopt and which lead to serious eye damage.
Expire Makeup:
It’s easy to forget when your favorite makeup is expiring, especially when you use them every day. However, using expired mascara and eyeliners can put your eyes at risk of infection.
Reuse of contact lenses:
If you think you’re saving money by reusing your contact lenses, it could be doing irreparable damage to your eyes. It can also lead to multiple eye infections. This is a habit that must be abandoned. One study found that people who reused contact lenses had a nearly four-fold increased risk of Acanthamoeba keratitis, a rare eye infection that can be life-threatening.
Don’t wear sunglasses:
The sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays in the Earth’s atmosphere can increase the risk of macular degeneration, cataracts, eyelid skin cancer and other eye diseases. To protect your eyes, it is recommended to wear sunglasses whenever you go outside.
smoking:
Apart from the numerous health risks caused by smoking, it can also damage the eyes. Smoking doubles the risk of macular degeneration, which can cause vision loss. Smoking also damages the retina of the eye, increasing the risk of cataracts that result from smoke clouding the eye’s natural lens.
Spending long hours on TV, computer screens:
If we only limit our time on our smartphones, laptops and tablets, it will be very beneficial for our eyesight. Otherwise, it can cause dry eyes, blurred vision, headaches, back pain and other symptoms of discomfort. It is advisable to take frequent breaks from screens to rest your eyes and get a pair of prescription lenses that are specially designed for computer use.
