3. Wear sunglasses with UV protection.
UV rays are the most harmful to the eyes, so when out in direct sunlight during your travels or leisure time wear a pair of sunglasses that have 100% UV protection. Not only will you be protecting your eyes, but you will be making a fashion statement as well! Be careful of cheaper pairs of sunglasses because although they may advertise that they contain UV protection, the level of protection isn’t as high.

4. Stop Squinting.
One of the worst things anyone can do for their eyes is to continue to squint and force the eyes to see through vision restrictions. If you need prescription lenses to correct farsightedness or nearsightedness, consult an optometrist to have the proper tests performed to determine what prescription is right for you.
5. Get more sleep.
Everyone is in the hustle and bustle of the grind towards success, but neglecting sleep in the process can take a toll on the strength of your eyes. Make time to put more sleep on your schedule whether you dedicate a few minutes throughout the day to taking 15 minute cat naps, or give yourself a cut-off time for work to be completed at night to get more rest during quiet hours. When your eyes are rested, they feel less heavy and more able to focus on the objects around you without delay or cloudiness.
