Wear your shades.
Sunglasses are a great fashion accessory, but they also protect your eyes from the sun's ultraviolet rays.

Wear protective eyewear.
Wear them when playing sports or doing activities around the home. Protective eyewear includes safety glasses and goggles, safety shields, and eye guards specially designed to provide the correct protection for a certain activity. Most protective eyewear lenses are made of polycarbonate, which is 10 times stronger than other plastics.

Reduce computer eyestrain.
Spending a lot of time at the computer or focusing on any one thing for a long period of time, can cause your eyes to become fatigued and you sometimes forget to blink.

Try the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, look away about 20 feet in front of you for 20 seconds. This can help reduce eyestrain.

Know your family's eye health history.
Talk to your family about their eye health history. It's important to know if anyone has been diagnosed with a disease or condition since many are often hereditary. This will help you determine if you are at higher risk for developing an eye disease or condition.

Activity based eye glasses.
Just like you don’t have just one pair of shoes for all activities, visual performance can be improved with appropriate design of spectacle lenses. Technology has evolved to produce specialty lenses for computer work, for golfers, and even for the frequent use of cellular devices.
