The quality and sharpness of vision are generally measured with a Snellen chart. The Snellen chart shows letters of logically smaller size. Perfect vision is 20/20. This implies that the patient sees the same line of letters at twenty feet that a typical individual sees at twenty feet.

Here are a few doctor-recommended tips that can be followed in order to achieve a perfect vision. These are as follows:

1. Eat right for good vision
Taking good care of your eyes begins with the food that you eat. Food rich in fatty acids, lutein, zinc, vitamins C and E may avert age-related vision plus eyesight problems, for example, macular degeneration and cataract as shown by certain studies. Eating these food items daily can lead to healthy eyesight. Following are some of the nutrients that can help us do so:

  • Green vegetables like spinach, kale and collards
  • Salmon and fish
  • Eggs, nuts, beans and other non-meat protein sources
  • Oranges and different citrus natural products or juices
  • Shellfish and pork

2. Quit smoking
Smoking makes you more inclined to get a cataract, optic nerve damage and macular degeneration. The more times you attempt to stop smoking, the more probable you are to succeed.

3. Wear shades
The right sort of shades will shield your eyes from the sun's bright (UV) beams. An excess of UV exposure makes you more inclined to get cataracts and macular degeneration. Pick shades that protect eyes from ninety-nine to hundred percent of both UVA and UVB beams. Wraparound lenses shield your eyes from the side. Spellbound lenses diminish the glare when driving. Some of the contact lenses come with UV protection as well. It is still a smart thought to wear shades for more protection, however.

4. Turn away from the computer screen
Gazing at the computer screen for a long time can cause eye strain, foggy vision, trouble focusing at a distance and dry eyes. The muscles around the eyes start getting weak and painful if given too much strain. Turn down the screen brightness. However, you should not feel like you are gazing at a very bright light. In case you are reading from the computer, use the zoom capacity to make the content bigger.

5. Pencil exercise
Take a pencil, and place it someplace in the centre. Draw a letter, number or dot in on any side of the pencil. For this activity, you will concentrate on the pencil and the spot as you move it toward and far from your eyes. Pencil push-ups are rumoured to correct two-fold vision and crossed eyes, yet it cannot hurt to attempt for different issues as well since it is free, easy and just includes focusing and refocusing your eyes.
