Eyecare tips for your eyes to keep them healthy
The most common question mothers ask the eye specialist is ‘What should I feed my child to make his/her eyes healthy ?? Should I feed him carrots daily’ .
The answer I give these mothers is regular Indian diet is more than sufficient, not to feed the kids only carrots.
So , a good Indian diet, regular exercise , exposure to good amount of sunlight ( Vitamin D3) and increased consumption of omega 3 FATTY ACIDS.
Here’s a list of useful tips compiled by us at IBBANI NETHRALAYA, JAKKUR , BENGALURU to keep your eyes healthy.
1. Reduce Screen Time
Most of our daily routine involves looking at the smart phone and rest of the day working on laptops and watching TV. These bright screens emit blue light which affects melatonin secretion in our body which in turn affects the human sleep cycle. A lot of IT professionals complain of sleep disturbances and the cause is these smart screens.
The solution to this issue is
a) Reduce screen time
b) Give breaks in-between screen time
c) Using blue block spectacles
d) Using moisturiser drops for dry eye
e) Checking for any vision problems
For any vision issues book an appointment at IBBANI NETHRALAYA
2. Give Up Smoking
We have all heard ‘ Smoking is injurious to Health’. Not many consider the eye damage that smoking causes.
Excessive smoking can cause damage to the macula and optic nerve in the eye .
Take an appointment with your eye specialist at Ibbani Nethralaya to know what damage has already occurred in your eye and what best can be done to protect it.
3. Eye Care Exercises
Keep moving your eyes in all directions, give breaks from your screen and look at distant objects outside the window
4.Contact lens usage
Limit contact lens usage to a minimum, not to extend beyond 8 hours of wear, to maintain proper hygienic practices while handling contact lenses & regular disposal as per timeline to be followed.
5. Eye Care Check-ups
Eye needs to be checked up yearly once by a local ophthalmologist even if there is no problem of the eye. Some of the conditions of the eye cannot be recognised symptomatically. Only when a eye specialist at IBBANI NETHRALAYA examines it in details , they will be able to recognise conditions like diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, glaucoma and others.
Approach an eye specialist at IBBANI NETHRALAYA, JAKKUR, BENGALURU and take an appointment to get your eye evaluated.
