On October 10, the whole world celebrates the Day of Sight. How important it is, our ancestors knew, who bequeathed to cherish the most valuable, like the apple of their eye. Alas, they did not have such opportunities to preserve their eyesight, as we have.
Eyesight examination by a specialist
Experts recommend that adults get their eyes checked at least once a year. If the examination reveals any problems, it is possible that visits to the doctor should become more frequent. Only 3% of diseases of the visual system are hereditary, and the remaining 97% are acquired. The sooner any changes are identified, the more effective the treatment will be.
Often, eye problems do not manifest themselves in the early stages or hide behind a mask of other symptoms (for example, headaches, high blood pressure, and even neck pain), significantly impairing the quality of life. Do not exclude the ophthalmologist from the annual medical examination and be sure to inform the doctor about all such sensations.
Do not give up correction if necessary
If you find yourself squinting a lot, pulling up the corner of your eye with your finger to see the house number, or bending over to the monitor, then your eyes may need help. In addition, it is:
• inconvenient,
• ugly,
• makes you look older – from squinting wrinkles appear around the eyes, which become deeper over time, and from the fact that you bend over to the monitor, a so-called widow’s hump may form on your neck, and your posture will deteriorate greatly,
• may embarrass you when you walk past someone you know without saying hello,
• last and perhaps most importantly, it deprives you of the fullness of the sensations of life. But the world can be beautiful and bright not only in photos on social networks, but also in your eyes!
Not by glasses alone
Thanks to the endless variety of designer frames, even those who have no vision problems complement their image with glasses with simple lenses.
If you are not inspired by the example of these fashionistas, you can always opt for contact lenses.
Modern contact lenses, such as, for example, Acuvue® (Acuvue) are thin and soft, do not dry out mucous membranes, pass oxygen well and even protect the eyes from harmful ultraviolet radiation *. They allow you to maintain an active lifestyle: it is convenient to walk in them in any weather (they do not fog up and do not get wet), go in for sports (do not fall or break), work at a computer (maintain a comfortable level of moisture in the eyes), go to the cinema and theater, read, do any makeup, see the world in all colors and details – in a word, do not limit yourself in anything.
