Eye Care Myths

I went to an optometrist the other day to change my eyeglasses. I have been experiencing migraine lately and it is becoming a problem with my work. While waiting for my new eye glasses, I had a small chat with the optometrist. We discussed what are the dos and don't s when it comes to eye care.

She told me that washing your eyes and face in the evening is not bad to the eyes. She added that not washing your face will increase your health risk because your skin will be prone to acne. There is no scientific relationship between the eyes and washing. She also told me that washing the hair is okay even if you did not sleep the other night. The dizziness and blur that you felt and see is probably caused by the lack of sleep and tiredness.

Myth buster!

Adding powerful antioxidants to your diet can improve your eye health.

There’s no substitute for the quality of life good vision offers. Adding certain nutrients to your diet every day – either through foods or supplements – can help save your vision. Researchers have linked eye-friendly nutrients such as lutein/zeaxanthin, vitamin C, vitamin E, and zinc to reducing the risk of certain eye diseases, including macular degeneration and cataract formation.
