TREES

Trees are a great part in our planet. We cannot live without trees. But in today’s world, Deforestation is affecting the good causes trees provide to us. Trees play a major role in survival of life in many different ways. Trees provide us food that is necessary for living and oxygen that we breathe to live. Trees also absorb many pollutants like Carbon Mono oxide and Sulphur diOxide. So without trees Life is not possible at all. Trees are a shelter for many birds, animals and insects. If we cut trees, these species lose their shelter and their life will be totally disturbed. So, Save Trees to Save Life.

Trees also absorb many pollutants like Carbon Mono oxide and Sulphur diOxide. So without trees Life is not possible at all. 

Trees are an important part of every community. Our streets, parks, playgrounds and backyards are lined with trees that create a peaceful, aesthetically pleasing environment. Trees increase our quality of life by bringing natural elements and wildlife habitats into urban settings. We gather under the cool shade they provide during outdoor activities with family and friends. Many neighborhoods are also the home of very old trees that serve as historic landmarks and a great source of town pride.
Trees control climate by moderating the effects of the sun, rain and wind. Leaves absorb and filter the sun’s radiant energy, keeping things cool in summer. Trees also preserve warmth by providing a screen from harsh wind. In addition to influencing wind speed and direction, they shield us from the downfall of rain, sleet and hail. Trees also lower the air temperature and reduce the heat intensity of the greenhouse effect by maintaining low levels of carbon dioxide.

Trees help record the history of your family as they grow and develop alongside you and your kids. We often make an emotional connection with trees we plant or become personally attached to the ones that we see every day. These strong bonds are evidenced by the hundreds of groups and organizations across the country that go to great lengths to protect and save particularly large or historic trees from the dangers of modern development. How many of your childhood memories include the trees in your backyard or old neighborhood? The sentimental value of a special tree is simply immeasurable.


Individual trees and shrubs have value and contribute to savings, but it is the collective influence of a well-maintained landscape that makes a real economic impact and has the greatest effect on property value. Direct economic benefits come from a savings in energy costs. Cooling costs are reduced in a tree-shaded home, and heating costs lowered when a tree serves as a windbreak. According to the USDA Forest Service, “Trees properly placed around buildings can reduce air conditioning needs by 30% and save 20-50 percent in energy used for heating.”





TREES BLOCK THINGS

Trees can mask concrete walls or parking lots, and unsightly views. They muffle sound from nearby streets and freeways, and create an eye-soothing canopy of green. Trees absorb dust and wind and reduce glare.

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.
