The eye: a delicate system worth protecting
Tips for protecting and caring for your eyes.
With CMCM and DENTA & OPTIPLUS, your eyes are in safe hands.
A healthy diet
Eat fruit and vegetables rich in vitamins A, C and E, such as carrots, bell peppers, beetroot, citrus fruits, broccoli, nuts and asparagus.
Drink plenty of water
Staying well hydrated helps maintain healthy moisture levels in your eyes.
Blink more often
When using a computer, we tend to blink less often, leaving our eyes open for longer. This can lead to dry eyes, headaches and blurred vision. Every blink helps replenish the tear film that keeps your eyes lubricated. Another way to relieve dry eyes is to gently massage the area around your eyes with your fingertips to help stimulate tear production. Then, using gentle circular movements and without applying pressure, massage your eyelids with your fingertips. This helps distribute the tear film evenly across the surface of your eyes.
Give your eyes a rest
If you spend several hours working at a computer, give your eyes a break every 20 minutes by looking into the distance for at least 20 seconds.
Protect your eyes from UV rays
Avoid looking directly at the sun and always wear sunglasses that provide effective protection against UVA and UVB rays.
Have regular eye examinations
Have your eyes examined regularly. Eye care professionals recommend an eye examination every two to three years.
