From the moment you wake up—grabbing your phone to scroll through social media—to staring at a computer screen all workday, then binge-watching shows on the couch at night, and even checking your phone one last time before bed… Does this sound like your daily routine? Your eyes are like “overtime workers” with non-stop schedules, and if you’re not careful, they’ll end up “overworked.” Dryness, irritation, eye strain soon follow, and more serious issues like vision loss, glaucoma, or cataracts may even develop over time. It’s high time to give your eyes the care they deserve! These eye-care tips are a must-keep.
1. Let Your Eyes Take a Break
Prolonged screen time or focused eye use tightens eye muscles, disrupts blood circulation, and leads to eye strain and vision decline. Remember to let your eyes rest at regular intervals—try the “20-20-20 Rule”: Every 20 minutes of work, look at an object 20 feet (about 6 meters) away for 20 seconds. This simple practice eases muscle tension and gives your eyes a quick “reset.”
2. Blink More Often
Under normal circumstances, people blink 15-20 times per minute. But when we’re glued to screens, this frequency drops to just 5-6 times per minute. Blinking helps spread tears evenly across the eye surface, keeping eyes moist and reducing the risk of dry eye syndrome. Make a conscious effort to blink more—especially when working on computers or using phones.
3. Spend Time Outdoors
Natural light is crucial for eye development and long-term eye health. Getting moderate outdoor exercise during the day not only relaxes your eyes but also exposes them to natural light—both of which support healthy vision. Even a 15-20 minute walk outside can make a difference in reducing eye strain from indoor screens.
4. Eat Eye-Friendly Foods
Including nutrient-rich foods in your diet is key to supporting eye health. Focus on these eye-benefiting nutrients:
Lutein & Zeaxanthin: These antioxidants filter harmful blue light and protect the retina. They’re abundant in dark green vegetables like spinach and kale.
Anthocyanins: A powerful antioxidant that improves night vision. Found in blueberries, purple grapes, and purple sweet potatoes.
Beta-Carotene: Converts to vitamin A in the body, preventing dry eyes and night blindness. High in carrots and pumpkins.
Zinc: Aids in transporting vitamin A to the retina, supporting overall eye function. Good sources include shellfish and nuts.
For people who use eyes intensively (e.g., office workers, students, or digital device lovers), daily meals may not be enough to meet eye nutrient needs. In such cases, specialized eye-care supplements can help. Amway Nutrilite Hanben Extract Series offers eye-care products that combine traditional Chinese medicine wisdom with modern technology, selecting natural ingredients like blueberries, wolfberries (goji berries), and lutein esters.
Blueberries: Rich in anthocyanins, widely recognized for supporting eye health.
Wolfberries: A classic “food-medicine homologous” ingredient in TCM, long used to promote clear vision.
Lutein esters: Effectively filter harmful blue light emitted by electronic screens.
These ingredients work synergistically to provide comprehensive eye protection for modern people who use electronic devices for long hours. Notably, the Hanben Extract Series adheres to Nutrilite’s consistent high standards, with strict quality control from raw material cultivation to finished product production, ensuring safety and effectiveness.
6. Get Regular Eye Exams
Even if you don’t notice obvious vision problems, it’s recommended to have a comprehensive eye exam every year. Early detection of potential issues (like mild myopia or glaucoma risks) allows for timely intervention and protects long-term eye health.
