Since your eyes are organs, anything you put in your body can either help or harm them (smoking, of course, is an obvious example). A diet that increases your risk or high blood pressure, cholesterol, and diabetes all affect your eyes too, according to Hamada.

To keep your peepers healthy, Hamada suggests getting some key vitamins and nutrients: "Vitamins A, C, E, and B12 help combat free radicals and help protect the retina. Lutein in leafy greens also protects the retina. And anti-inflammatories like clean fish oil has also been proven to reduce dry eye in some individuals," she says.

5. Sleeping with makeup on.

You don't need us to tell you this one, but here's why it's a problem: "When eye makeup like mascara gets into the corneathe front part of the eyethat increases the chances of getting a corneal infection or a scratch," says Hamada.

6. Skipping your eye exams.

When it comes to the health of your eyes over your lifetime, this is a must. Simply put, "As we get older, like everything else, our eyes age," says Hamada. Many of vision's aging processes like cataracts or dry eyes can be diagnosed and treated without affecting vision and quality of life over time," she says. "Nothing against the dentists, but we can get false teethwe only have two eyes, and we can't replace our vision."
