THE HUMAN EYE
Have you ever wondered what life will look like without your eyes, have you given time to think of the immense impact your eyes have on your overall wellbeing? True we know the eye is important but how important? Give this a try. Close your eyes for a couple of minutes and try to walk around… What did you experience? Well then, as a part of the body, it needs care.
About health defines The eye as an organ that detects light and sends signals along the optic nerve to the brain. In humans, the eye is a valuable sense organ that gives us the ability to see. It allows for light perception and vision, including the ability to differentiate between colors and depth.
Although small in size, the eye is a very complex organ. The eye is approximately 1 inch wide, 1 inch deep and 0.9 inches tall. The human eye has a 200-degree viewing angle and can see 10 million colors and shades.
Now that’s amazing isn’t it? … 10 Million colours and shades. I feel we should share on what it takes to care for this all important part of our bodies. Truth is it does not require much compared to what it offers. I promise, it would be worth your time.
EYE CARE
Eat for Good Vision
Protecting your eyes starts with the food on your plate. Really I think everything about the human body is traceable to our plates. My boss mentions this all the time – Let Thy Food Be Thy Medicine. And I add, YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT. Nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids, lutein, zinc, and vitamins C and E might help ward off age-related vision problems such as macular degeneration and cataracts. Regularly eating these foods can help lead to good eye health:
Green, leafy vegetables, Fish, Eggs, Nuts, Beans, and other non-meat protein sources. Fruits like Oranges and other citrus fruits or juices are not an option in eye care.
Eating a well-balanced diet also helps you maintain a healthy weight, which makes you less likely to get obesity-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adults.
Wear Sunglasses
This is not just about fashion and trends. It is about your EYES. The right kind of sunglasses will help protect your eyes from the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays. Too much UV exposure makes you more likely to get cataracts and macular degeneration. Choose sunglasses that block 99% to 100% of both UVA and UVB rays.


Use Safety Eyewear
For some people, this is not an option. Some professions and career path have work to do along the lines of chemicals, substances and machines that can harm the eye. Professionals in this paths should ensure the adherence to work safety rules. If you work with hazardous or airborne materials on the job or at home, wear safety glasses or protective goggles every time and I mean EVERY TIME.
Certain sports such as ice hockey, racquetball, and lacrosse can also lead to eye injury. Wear eye protection (such as helmets with protective face masks or sports goggles with polycarbonate lenses) to shield your eye
Look Away From the Computer Screen
Computers are essentially a part of our lives, no gainsaying. Staring at a computer screen for too long can cause:
• Eyestrain
• Blurry vision
• Trouble focusing at a distance
• Dry eyes
• Headaches
• Neck, back, and shoulder pain
These steps will help to keep our eyes from the negative effects constant use of the computer may have on it.
 Make sure your glasses or contact lens prescription is up-to-date and adequate for computer use.
 Some people may need glasses to help with contrast, glare, and eye strain when using a computer.
 Position your computer so that your eyes are level with the top of the monitor. This allows you to look slightly down at the screen.
 Try to avoid glare on your computer from windows and lights.
 Choose a comfortable, supportive chair. Position it so that your feet are flat on the floor.
 If your eyes are dry, blink more.
 Every 20 minutes, rest your eyes by looking 20 feet away for 20 seconds. At least every 2 hours, get up and take a 15-minute break. This might be a little difficult for some professionals 15 minutes off the work table? Anyway, it is not a hard and fast rule, just take A BREAK.
Lastly, nature has not left us without help. Several fruits, vegetables and herbs(as mentioned earlier) contains properties that help in eye care. Science has brought this together into easy to use forms. Your eye needs LUTEIN. This link leads to eye wellness. http://dabarpharmacy.com/133-eye-care[img][/img]
