IT HAS been said that “Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.” But have you given any thought to those eyes that help you capture this beauty? By adopting various patterns of life, you can give your eyes a much needed boost. Bring changes in your lifestyle and in your eating habits to help you see your eyes in a new light.

* Consuming good amounts of apples and grapes helps in improving your eyesight.

* Vitamin A is very good for enhancing your eyesight. Carrots have good quantity of vitamin A which proves to be one of the useful natural treatments.

* Cucumber juice does wonders for your eyesight as it tries to improve it immensely.

* Add spinach to your daily diet as spinach contains iron, vitamins A, B, C. It purifies your blood, increases the haemoglobi­n, and improves your eyesight.

* You can find a good source of vitamin A in turnip, milk cream, fresh milk, cheese, butter, tomatoes, lettuce, cabbage, soya beans, green peas, oranges, and dates.

President Roxas, Capiz eyes.

* Consuming blueberry juice is also considered to be very useful for your eyes.

* Close both the eyes very tightly by shutting the lids firmly. Open them suddenly which allows you to feel the stretch. Once open, arch your brows and stretch your face. Repeat this several times a day.

* Look as far as possible and inhale then look down as possible and exhale. Blink your eyes more a dozen times. Do the same procedure by turning to your left and right then diagonally up to left, down to right, up to right and down to left followed by rapid blinking.

* Rotate your eyes in all the directions. Slowly and steadily concentrat­e on one eye at a time. Do this exercise more than a dozen times and try doing this with your eyes shut.

* You can also try sunning which means to use the sun’s light for your eyes. Move your head from side to side for the heat to benefit the eyes. After a while try stretching the eyes to allow more sunlight to your eyes. Directly looking at the sun is never good. This is a great method to reduce light sensitivit­y. (
