O Allah, grant me well-being in my body. O Allah, grant me well-being in my hearing. O Allah, grant me well-being in my sight. There is no god worthy of worship except You.

This dua teaches the believer to ask Allah for well-being in the body, hearing, and sight while also seeking protection from disbelief, poverty, and the punishment of the grave. It belongs naturally in the morning and evening adhkar because it asks for daily preservation in both worldly and spiritual matters.
