Preserving your sight
Discover expert tips, research-backed advice, and practical steps from Sight Research UK to help preserve your vision, protect your eye health, and reduce the risk of sight loss across all ages in the UK.
Preserving your sight starts with understanding How your eyes work and taking proactive steps to protect them. Regular Eye tests are vital for detecting conditions like glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and age-related macular degeneration early, often before symptoms appear.
Chronic conditions such as Diabetes and rheumatoid Arthritis can significantly affect eye health, increasing the risk of inflammation and vision loss. Managing these conditions through medication, lifestyle changes, and routine screenings can help safeguard your sight. A balanced diet also plays a crucial role: foods rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids, and vitamins—such as leafy greens, oily fish, nuts, citrus fruits, and carrots can nourish your eyes and reduce the risk of degeneration.
