Good Eye Care Habits

For a healthy body we go to gym, for a beautiful skin we go to spas and salons, for a peaceful mind we go to meditation centre, but where do we go for health of our beautiful eyes? Here are some good habits the ophthalmology experts emphasise on to preserve our often neglected eyes and vision-

1.                 Increase the time spent on outdoor activities every day
It is interesting to note that spending time on outdoor activities like ball games, walks in the park or a family picnic at the beach etc. curb the myopic (near sightedness) problems in the children.  Outdoor activities should not include reading or playing hand-held games outdoors rather it involves the activities that engage the body movements and physical work out. Increasing outdoor activities time is the most simple and cost-effective natural method to ensure good vision and correct the eye disorder. Researchers found that each additional hour spent outdoors during the week decreased the risk of developing myopia by 2%.

2.                 Do not read when tired or sick
When we are weak, we have exhausted the energy of our entire body. Weak bodily energy weakens the entire system, especially the Liver, which is associated to the. Reading during illness or fatigue weakens the focusing eye muscles.

3.                 Eye lubrication
Our eyes get dried when the tear films do not produce enough oils sufficient to lubricate our eyes and this triggers symptoms like itching, irritation and redness. Dryness is caused by exposure to excessive heat and cold.  A diet with daily supplements of 300 milligrams of Omega-3, and a misted house plants or a humidifier help moisturize eyes as well as skin.
Blink blink blink: when we blink the tear glands coat our eyes with the oil. Take a 10-second "break" of rapid blinking during close work.

4.                 Stop consuming Excessive salt
Excessive consumption of salt is associated with hardening of the arteries. Hardened arteries destroy the elasticity of arteries and capillaries. When arteries lack the elasticity, it is very difficult for blood to pave its way in arteries. The diminished blood flow in arteries causes deterioration of the eyes. Use kelp or powdered vegetable seasoning instead of salt.

5.                 Intoxicate your liver
Take care of your liver and your eyes will be fine. Strange but true.  There is an established connection between liver functioning and the eyesight. Any deficiencies with liver blood will detroit the vision. Anaemia prevents the flow of blood through the liver. Blood from the liver is believed to moisten and nourish the eyes. Also if the blood is impure because of toxins and impurities, the eye health will decline, and the eyes will become weak, drab, with heavy dark circles around them.


6.                 Regular check-ups

In nutshell, we shall try doing all those things that are considered safe for the eyes, but don’t you ever forget the importance of the eye check-up for maintaining eyes health. One exam in your 20s, and two in your 30s can identify problems which may benefit from early treatment.
