Summer can be a tough time on eyes, with sun damage and eyestrain all contributing to poor health.
However, there are some simple and effective ways of making sure that eyes remain healthier in warmer months.
Canadian newspaper The Enterprise Bulletin has suggested a few of them, noting that sunglasses are a great way of protecting your eyes.
Not only do sunglasses protect from direct sun, but they also prevent ultraviolet rays reaching the eyes.
It is also a good idea to make sure to visit an optician at least once a year to see whether lenses may be needed.
Maintaining a healthy balanced diet is also key, with green leafy vegetables and dark fruits being noted by the newspaper as giving "antioxidant protection".
Finally, at the end of the day it is a great idea to cool eyes with a facecloth to reduce uncomfortable and unsightly puffiness.
Taking these small steps to look after your eyes can limit sun-related damage and lead to a happier, healthier summer.
