The Link Between Water and Eye Health

Water is a crucial element to our health, and most of the time, its benefits go beyond only quenching our thirst. For example, another way through which adequate hydration is essential in protecting good eyesight is by keeping them moist. The eyes require sufficient moisture to serve their purpose very well, and most of the problems related to vision are those where the eyes don't have enough water.

How Hydration Influences

  1. Lubrication: Like any other body part, the eyes require water for lubrication. Enough hydration will cause tears to form that keep the eyes moist and, at the same time, free from infections.
  2. Help Clearing Toxins: Water helps remove toxins from the body, including the eyes. This process helps detoxify the body, preventing the buildup of certain substances, which may cause lousy eyesight or blurriness.
  3. Nutrient Supply: Water helps take essential nutrients to enable eyes to work correctly. It also helps carry vitamins and valuable minerals in the required quantities to the eyes, hence beneficial for overall eye health.

Symptoms of Dehydration Related to Vision

If you weren't taking in enough water, maybe your eyes would be the first to tell you that. Symptoms range from ocular dryness to irritations—a gritty feeling in the eyes. Dehydration may further bring worse scenarios, such as blurry visions and headaches.

Easy Ways to Boost Your Daily Water Intake

  1. Start your day with a glass of water to start up the hydration in the body.
  2. Always have a reusable bottle with you and refill it whenever you feel the urge.
  3. Eat high foods like cucumbers, oranges, and watermelons.
  4. The app can even set reminders to drink water or use the phone timer.

Make sure you visit your eye doctor regularly

Staying hydrated contributes to good vision equally as much as regular eye checkups do. Should your eyes be giving you any trouble at all, set an appointment with the medical staff of The Eye Foundation. We offer a full range of services in eye care and can help you keep yourself in sight and your eyes in good condition.
