Two Ways to Enhance Your Vision

Posted by sean - February 28th, 2010

The reason why you are reading this article is that you want to know something about ways for enhancing eye sight. In fact, the health of your eyes is greatly determined by two major factors, say, your food and the quantity of eye exercises that you have done.

Scientific diets can enhance your vision. Vitamin A plays a vital importance in maintaining your eye sights. Thus, vegetables, like carrots, corn, green peas, turnip, that contain a lot of Vitamin A, are strongly recommended for daily use. Still, many fruits are abundant with Vitamins A, viz. apricots, Papaya, etc. Still more, there is rich Vitamin A that can be found in the meat of some animals, as salmon, tuna, and so like.

If we are temporarily in lack of Vitamin A, our bodies will synthesis some from beta carotene. Generally, such vision decline is a process of oxidation, which may cause some sort of damages on our eyes. And consequently, such process can be prevented by Vitamin A. Therefore, if you do not have enough Vitamin A for the protection of your eyes, you will suffer from cataracts or other eye diseases, to some extent. This can prove that balanced diets can be beneficial for your eyes.

Eye exercise can enhance your vision. Some scientific eye exercise can help you to improve your eyesight. If you can insist on doing such eye exercise for about 20mintes each day, your eye sight will be greatly maintained and improved. Here are the specific steps. You should first relax yourself before starting the exercise. Close your eyes and palm them with your two hands respectively. Then open them 30 seconds later. Repeat this process for more times, and you will be greatly relaxed.  After the first step, just rub your eyes around the sockets with your eyes closed. Be sure that this process should be gentle and slow. After the second step, you can now open your eyes and turn your eyeballs around in one direction or another for sometime. After that, do some up-down and left-right eyeball movements. Anther interesting step is looking at a paper, on which two close dots are printed. Then you more your head forward or the paper backward, till you they are seemed merging into one. This process should also be repeated for sometime.

Designer Sunglasses Replicas Are Not Worth Your Money

Posted by sean - February 28th, 2010

Designer sunglasses, delicately designed and exquisitely made, are appealing to many people; however, not everyone is able to afford one. For those who are short of fund to purchase a pair of designer sunglasses, the designer sunglasses replicas come to their choices for fashion, because, fake designer sunglasses are rather cheap. Whereas, the point is that designer sunglasses replicas are not worth your money in the long run.

Replicas are both in low quality of lens and frame. Firstly, lenses of fake designer sunglasses are easily scratched and are likely not to have sufficient or even no UV protection. If a pair of sunglasses can not shield eyes from harmful rays from the sun, how can it called ‘ sunglasses ‘? Secondly, frames of those knockoffs are easy to be broken, either screws loosened or legs came off. Sometimes, frames of replica are not able to be cling to the face, which makes the wearer uncomfortable and inconvenient.

On the contrary, the above problems of lens and frame seldom emerge as for certified designer sunglasses. Even if there exists one of such problem, you do not have to worry or complain, because the original designer sunglasses are all covered by some type of warranty which can protect you in the event of an accident. Whenever and wherever you find your sunglasses provide discomfort to you, you can take them to the exclusive stores for change even for return.

Therefore, we may make a conclusion from the above that designer sunglasses knockoffs are not worth your money. Although original designers are comparatively more expensive, if you take the performance and quality assurance made by sellers into consideration, you will more likely to buy certified designers.

1 Day Acuvue-My Beloved Contacts

Posted by sean - February 25th, 2010

Several years ago, I discovered 1Day Acuvue contacts and I had worn them since then. Now I have never felt any discomfort from these contacts, manufactured by Johnson& Johnson. I think I will use these products in all rest of my life.

It is true that I seldom spend time in searching of some new contacts, but I do have suffered from some discomfort in wearing other lenses. Luckily, when I begin to use 1 Day Acuvue, what I feel is freshness, comfort, and happiness. Even though I have changed so many pairs, my feeling does not change.

It is true that I have to dispose a pair of such contact everyday. I have spent a very long time to get used to this occasion. But I think it is essential to do so for the following reasons.

Wearing these contacts will cause no infection in my eyes. Of courses, as their names indicate, I need not to maintain these contacts every day. What I can do is to get a new pair and throw the older one away.

These contacts have very long expiration time if I do not open and use them.

In addition to 1day Avuvue, Acuvue Moist has also provided me with great comfort and freshness. Compared with 1Day, Moist Series can keep much longer comfort and freshness.

Of course, the moist series are ideal for people with dry eyes. Any way, 1 Day acuvue is price to value. Though it seems that these contacts are expensive, but no cleaning systems are needed. That has relatively reduced the cost.

Contacts Can Not Help Improve People’s Vision

Posted by sean - February 25th, 2010

You might be confused about whether contact lenses can help to correct your vision. In fact, vision can not be corrected by wearing contacts. To some extent, contacts are only aiding tools, which can not enhance your vision at all. Hence, the way for your eye enhancement is not wearing contacts. Contacts can only bring to the wearers some very contemporary effectiveness. Neither can they fundamentally improve your vision. If you do not think so, just think how long you have worn contacts. If they really work, you should have got rid of them.

One example can be used to prove this theory. Suppose one has broken his legs, and the doctor will no doubt just handle his problem simply, as putting aid brand only, etc.  If that really occurs, his legs will be in abnormal shape after being healed. This may lead some new bad habits in his walking. If the doctor treats his problem properly, his legs will recover normally. Comparatively, contacts just play roles of guiding eyes in their recovering. In this sense, contacts can not improve your vision naturally.

Generally, if you suffer from vision problems, it means that you have very bad habits in using eyes. Wearing contacts can help to correct such habits by guiding your body to heal themselves automatically. By and large, the major cause for eye problems is mental strain. Contacts can help you first to relax yourself. Because of this strain your eyes may get smaller, and you are prone to even worse eye problems.

Now that you have known this, you are suggested to use contacts as less as possible. If you do some eye exercises everyday, you will get rid of these contacts ultimately. It is a fair exchange for you to do some eye exercises for several minutes other than wearing contacts forever. You may now have your own decisions. Yes, it is the time for you to get rid of these bothering contacts.

Notice To Dry Eyes (Dry Eye Dos )

Posted by sean - February 23rd, 2010

Dry eye is a common problem which almost everyone would have experienced, and it normally is able to disappear on its own. However, dry eye, a seemingly simple problem, could be mild, but also serious. If not treated properly, worse eye problems will be caused, even a danger of complete blind. Here below are a survey we did of what to do with dry eyes:

In most cases, dry eyes emerge because of the infection of bacilli, therefore, to keep eyes away far bacilli as much as possible is the first and foremost tip for dealing with dry eyes. You are required to wash hands frequently, especially when you prepare to touch your eyes. As for those who wear contact lenses, clean and check you equipments related regularly, in case of infection.

The environment could also be one of the reason to cause dry eyes. Especially when you stay in an air-conditioning house for a long time, for as the dryness of the air, your eyes are inclined to get dry as well. So keeping houses ventilated and going outside often are not bad ideas to reduce the occurrence of dry eyes. But another thing should be born in mind is to wear sunglasses or even goggles when you are outdoors, avoiding allergens such as smoke, pollen and dust.

When you encounter dry eyes, the first aid treatment is eye drops or other eye medicines, which are believed to help moisten dry eyes and ease discomfortableness. But the point is to know what each of medicines is for, as different medicines are for different symptoms. Normally label on each medicine will clearly illustrate certain therapeutic properties. And ensure to be not confused the dosing of your once or twice a day. Consult to your pharmacist about any confusion you have.

When observing any discomfortableness of your eyes after self treatments, go for a ophthalmologist or optometrist, and those of extensive training and experience should be better chose. Ask them for professional advice.

Be aware of your eyelid’s Meibomian Glands. Some may confuse what Meibomian Glands are. They are glandulars located between your eyelashes on upper and lower eyelids, functioning to secrete oil to keep eyeball moistened. It has been shown that most dry eye symptoms are caused by the occurrence of problems with these glands, for example, glands are blocked with dusts by waxed oil. You probably will experience that if you do not pay special attention when washing your hair, especially washing hair in a shower. Because water with shampoo will, more or less, accidentally enter your eyes, and melt outside of your eyelids and become wax. The special ” Warm Compress Mask ” is a good way to warm the glands and clean the dusts.

What We Should Do After Lasik

Posted by sean - February 22nd, 2010

After the Lasik eye surgery, most patients’ eye vision can keep stable after a months’ healing. A few patients may need more time, and six months have been reported as the longest. During this healing period, patients may suffer from different kinds of uncomfortable feeling of the eyes. A slight burning feeling is very common amongst the patient. Because the flap is cut during the Lasik surgery, and after the surgery is over it is just replaced back and it needs a period of time to heal itself. Besides, many patients may also be troubled frequently with seeing foreign object. This is because there may be some small pieces of tissue left in the eye during the step of making the flap and reshaping the lens by laser. Patients with laser vision correction surgery may also suffer from disturbing visual side effects, such as halos, double vision (ghost images), contrast sensitivity loss (foggy vision), light sensitivity and glare. Some patients may get a mild pain which should be treated by taking pills like aspirin. The white part of the eye is easy to be red or get blood shot which will go away in a few days.

In the healing process, you should pay more attention to protect your eyes. There are several things should be avoided for the first 2 to 4 weeks after the surgery. First of all, remember do not rub your eye at any condition, so does any heavy contacts. The flap needs at lest two weeks healing itself completely. If it is out of the right place, further surgery will be needed to replace the flap. It is better for a patient to stay at home to avoid high winds or windy conditions. If you feel dry of your eyes, watering your eyes will be helpful in the healing process. But remember swimming should be avoided during the first 4 weeks after Lasik eye surgery. For ladies, it is recommended that no makeup should be applied, not only those being used near the eyes.

If you have other eye problem besides the situation that described above, remember to visit your eye doctor.

Train Our Eyes for Good Eyesight

Posted by sean - February 22nd, 2010

Since we are born, our eyes are under the risk of getting poor as we are busy reading and watching all day long. Most of people have to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses to correct eye refractive error, both the near-sightedness and far-sightedness.

In fact, except for some genetic reasons, the bad eyesight is due to the unhealthy lifestyle habits.  For example, focusing on the same object for a long period will cause the strain on the eyes and also cause the headache problem.

Some people succumb to the fact of being in poor eye condition, and they either choose to wear corrective tools or do laser eye surgery to see the world better. They never think that there are natural ways to improve the bad situation. According to the famous Bates method, you can first close your eyes to have a good rest before you put the palm on the eyes to massage them gently. Repeat the action for some while until you feel your eyes are completely relaxed. Being different from other body-fitting exercises, eye exercise is not confined by particular facilities. It is perfect for you to choose a quiet place to have both your eyes and your body to bathe in the relaxation. Meanwhile, you can look the far and near image sequentially several times to keep the eye muscle active.

Fine muscles around the eyes are the guarantee for good eyesight, so it is very crucial to maintain the muscles in an excellent condition. Furthermore, since we learn to see the world, we can also train the eyes to see well or even better. Eye exercise is by far the most effective and natural way to keep the eye muscles elastic and strong for good eyesight.
