An eye sight of a human being is the most important sense among other senses. 80% of the things we perceive come through the sense of sight. Protecting our eyes is utmost important to prevent odds of blindness and permanent loss of vision. With an eye, we could see and interpret the shapes, colours and dimensions of various objects in the surrounding. Having perfect and healthy eyes impacts how we see. Moreover a vision care leads to better quality of life which largely affects our performance at school, work or at home. Exactly like we worry for our skin and hair, an eye care also demands the same and equal efforts.  One can adopt easy and natural ways to improve eyesight:
·        Food for good vision- The food that we consume directly impacts our eyesight. One must follow a healthy diet and avoid giving strain to eye as this is the most basic thing which anyone can adopt to prevent eye diseases and to maintain healthy vision throughout life. In order to protect eyes, you should start with the food on the plate consisting of nutrients like Omega-3 fatty acids, Zinc and vitamin C and E. This will help to combat age related eye problems such as macular degeneration and cataracts. Best foods for healthy eyes: green leafy vegetables, salmon, tuna, oranges, eggs, nuts and oily fish
 Try to keep screen at distance- Smart phone; laptops and desktops screens are available at almost every home these days. The blaze and contrast of every electronic screen leads to eye strain causing headaches, blurred vision, neck pain, fatigue and sometimes double vision. According to the study by Council for Research Excellence, an average of 9.5 hours a day in front of screens is spent by middle aged people. It is usually recommended that one must keep his eyes at least an arm’s length from desktop screen and about 16 inches from handheld devices like smart phones or tablets. 
·        Use sunglasses- Wearing sunglasses is part of fashion these days but using right type of sunglasses protects eyes from ultraviolet rays of the sun. Sometimes too much ultraviolet rays may increase your risk of cataracts and macular degeneration. So make sure you pick the best sunglass which blocks 99% to 100% of both UVA and UVB rays.
·        Relax eyes- Young children and teens these days spend most of their time in front of computer screens. They often spend 7-8 hours on laptops without any break or pause. If you spend more time focusing on one thing, then your eyes may get fatigued and tired. So always give a short pause in between your work. Like after every 15 minutes you could try looking at something else or face upwards to the roof. This will help to relax your eyes and prevent unwanted headache or eyestrain.
·        Avoid smoking- Smoking a cigarette or tobacco may lead to cataract, optic nerve damage and macular degeneration. So you must avoid smoking in order to improve your eyesight and prevent eye conditions.
