Your windows to the soul need proper care.

Find a good eyecare practitioner and see him or her every year to keep eye diseases in check.  In addition, it's imperative you wear sunglasses or a wide-brimmed hat when you're outdoors in the sun.  Excessive sunlight can burn the corneas and the sun's ultraviolet light can cause cataracts.  Look for wrap-around sunglasses and sunglasses that say they block ultraviolet light, and if you're not sure if your current sunglasses protect you, take them to an optician who will check them for you and supply a UV-protective coating if necessary.
