Sight Savers

You've got your wallet, and your phone, don't forget the sunglasses! Even on cloudy days you should be wearing them...

Did you know we should really be putting on our sunglasses every time we step outside? Even on cloudy days. According to Optometrist Marc Grossman, author of Greater Vision, unless it's raining or night time we should have them on. Those shades do more than reduce glare and wrinkles, they help protect us from cataracts and macular degeneration. Excessive exposure to the sun is the leading cause for those. Just be sure to buy glasses that block 100% of both UVA and UVB radiation.

Also, relax your eyes at least once a day. Aside from sleep, our eyes never get a rest. Tea bags or cucumbers are nice, but you don't need them. Rub your palms together until they are warm, cup them over your closed eyes and relax for a few minutes.
