Take your dogs for a walk…it’s good for your eyes, really
1. Follow the 10-10-10 Rule (This one really helped me out)<
If we here at Rebuild Your Vision seem to stress the 10-10-10 rule a lot, it’s only because it’s so easy to forget, yet this simple practice can repay you, well, 10-fold. For example, yours truly, who’s written this column for the past four years, often gets caught up in deadlines, the kind that have her in front of the computer for hours on end. In a classic case of “practice what you preach,” she’s noticed that, when she’s glued to the screen, at the end of the day she’s tired and cranky and practically cross-eyed. But when she takes a break every 10 minutes and looks out her window for 10 seconds at an object at least 10 feet away, not only do her eyes feel better, but she’s also in a much better mood!
>2. Eat More Vegetables (Also great for your total well being, and weight and age management)
http://www.Experts-At.com/Rebuild-Your-Vision.html
We know. Eating more vegetables is one of those common-sense things that we realize is good for us, yet it sounds so boring we never quite get around to doing it. This writer calls it a “tomorrow.” As in, “Oh yeah, I ate a cheeseburger for dinner today, but tomorrow I’ll have a salad.” Except by the time “tomorrow” comes, it’s been a week… or a month. Eating your veggies is one of the easiest good habits you can form — good for your eyes, good for your whole self — and it’s far cheaper than dealing with the effects of glaucoma or macular degeneration.
3. Hate Vegetables? Then Love Vitamins (Do both to maximize your healthy efforts)
While ideally all of us would get the nutrients we need strictly from our diet, we can’t quite see kale and carrots surpassing pizza and burgers in the meal popularity contest. So taking a good multivitamin is essential. The Ocu-Plus vitamin is a low-cost, proven formula of 17 minerals, vitamins and herbals that not only enhances everyday vision but helps protect against cataracts, glaucoma, and macular degeneration.

4. Take a Hike, Yeah, that’s right, go take a hike 
No, not metaphorically — we love our customers — but literally. As the AARP’s Web site notes, from controlling your blood pressure to lowering your risk of heart attack and glaucoma to relieving arthritis and back pain, walking every day, even if it’s just for 15 minutes, is hands-down one of the best things you can do for your health.

ps, got a dog? got kids? Take you dog, your kids for a walk.
5. Wear Sunglasses with 99 to 100% UV Protection
Notice we didn’t just say, “Wear sunglasses.” We know you probably wear them already. But are your sunglasses shielding your eyes from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays? Or do they just make you look good? Take the time this year to figure out what kind of protection your sunglasses are really giving you — and if they’re not certified as having 99 to 100% UV protection, invest in a new pair.

6. Get Some Shut-Eye
Ophthalmologists at the Mayo Clinic found that sleep deprivation and sleep irregularities can lead to blurred vision and eye discomfort; if these issues persist, they can lead to major vision problems. Lack of regular sleep can also cause papilledema, a swelling in the optic nerve that eventually leads to gradual vision deterioration. In addition, sleep deprivation can lead to glaucoma, the second most common cause of untreatable blindness.
7. Maintain Overall Good Health
Remember that old kids’ song, “The foot bone’s connected to the leg bone / the leg bone’s connected to the knee bone,” and so on? Well, it’s true: the body is an interdependent system: conditions seemingly unrelated to your eyes, such as diabetes, sleep apnea, and cardiovascular disease, can have profound effects upon your vision. Getting regular checkups and staying healthy overall can help you maintain your eyesight.
