EYES NEED CARE

EYES NEED CARE 

For lasting and clear eyesight, eyes need care in the form of preventive measures, a

continuous life-long exercise. Eyes don't just see, they do the talking. This is why of

all our senses the most precious is eyesight. Eyes need care in the form of prevention,

and knowing some preventive methods in eye care can make your eyes look bright

and healthy and leave you with excellent eyesight.

 How do we keep eyes bright and healthy? Eat good helpings of vegetables, fruits,

omega-3 fatty acids, beta carotenes with vitamins A, C and E, enjoy good sleep and

avoid direct sunlight. Therefore, good habits and good general health care does play

a major role in eye care. Eyes are windows to the human body; while you look out

through this window, we, the eye doctors, can look in to find conditions such as

glaucoma, abnormal blood pressures, diabetes, heart diseases and other health

re you notice its adverse impact, and help you take preventive

measures.               

It is never too early to begin eye checkups. Throw a torchlight from different directions

and look for fixation in newborns and, if in doubt, take the baby to an eye specialist.

By the time a child is four, it is imperative to have a check-up every year to look for

squint, signs of opacity brought in by cataracts and minus or plus powers to decide

whether or not glasses are needed. Ultraviolet- protective sunglasses from childhood

can help protect eyes from the harmful UV rays. Once in the teens, contact lenses can

be worn in place of glasses, but never sleep with them on as they reduce the supply

of air and blood to the cornea and can damage eyes. When in 20s, you can get rid of

glasses with lasers, Lasik or permanent contact lenses.

An emerging and alarming trend is the Computer Eye Syndrome, which appears to

be catching on in early adult life. We cannot escape the use of computers but, sadly

our eyes are not designed to cope with these screens., Continuous staring at the

monitors reduces blinking, causes strain to the eyes and can lead to dry eyes as well.

Therefore, it is always better to take a break of 10 minutes every hour and look at

distant objects such as the landscapes or even television.

Glaucoma or raised pressure in eyes and diabetic retinopathy are silent eyesight.

 Therefore, checking eyes once every six months is essential. If afficted with

diabetes, diet, exercise and drugs are to be remembered in that order to keep the

doctor away.

Around the age of 40, more or less everybody requires reading glasses, a condition

known as presbyopia. But now you can get rid of these glasses as well, with lasers

called INTRACOR and SUPRACOR. One can develop cataract- defined as the loss of

transparency in the natural lens of the eye - at any age, but it usually strikes in old

age. It's treated by replacing the opaque lens with an artificial lens called the intraocular lens.

 The latest in cataract removal techniques is called femtosecond laser assisted

 cataract surgery, which i s blade-free, hands-free and makes the operation precise, safe

and accurate.

 That said, eye care is, inevitably, a continuous exercise through life.

LIFE IS AN INSTITUTION

 Life is an institution

• Life is an institution. We have a Principal. God, who looks over the entire working of our life.
•  He allots teacher namely our parents, to guide us through this path. We learn lessons and it is up to us whether we want to pass or fail. Every morning we wake up and give a tick mark to the attendance file of our lives, The only difference in this school of life is that, you cannot play truant even for a day! Though from time to time one may doze off and not pay heed to the message that is being given to us. 
• From the start my parents taught me and my sister to be good human beings first. Life has been kind, sometimes harsh, but mostly fair. We make many mistakes, some of which we admit and others, we conceal. But now that I'm 22 years old, I can review step taken by me. Think positive. Yes, it's that simple. Thoughts are actions Imagine if there are a billion good thoughts, the universe will throw back a billion good actions. Something within tells me : 'Forget the world and listen to your heart all just start listening to our inner soul may be we won't be scratching our heads while taking the final exam. I am not at all close to being perfect but I know I want to get near it, not by mastering the business world, not by buying a perfect self. A perfect self, according to me is kind, compassionate, and empathetic; one who sees the good in people and shares the good within themselves.
•  The true test is for us to examine ourselves, and to be honest to ourselves before we give a tick mark to our answer-sheets. I had a lot of questions ready, my doubt all written, point by point. Since I could not get the answer from my teachers, I made an appointment with God. Doubts about life, love, death, fear and sorrow. I was angry Why can't He guide us? God was there by my side, every minute, every step. Even though I haven't got all the answers, I know I will get there. He will take me there, in my own time, the same way He has got me here, where I am now .
• Some say one should never pity nor envy anyone else and I am happy to be me.
• first important teaching to learn is to count your blessings. We all stand to be a litte more aware about what life is really trying to teach us and be aware that life is trying to teach us something. Money is like our grades in school. It helps us move to the next steps but after that, who remembers what we scored in Maths. in the third standard? People forget that money does not come along with us when we die. It becomes like our grades; we don't remember how much we earned or how much we lost. Families fight, friendships are ruined; parent child bonds are broken. Isn't that a waste? Why would anyone choose paper over love? Here's a plea for whoever is reading this. Let us all try and be the best pupils in this school called life. Be true. Love not only others but also yourself. Love God wholeheartedly because that's all He wants, and you know what they say, "Be in His good books and you will go to the head of the class."
