Keep Things In Focus With Regular Eye Exams
How often should you get tested?
The American Academy of Ophthalmology recommends the following schedule for eye exams:
Conjunctivitis: Different Types of Causes and Prevention
Pink eye (conjunctivitis) is an inflammation of the clear membrane that covers the white part of the eye and lines the inner surface of the eyelids. Your eyes also may itch, hurt or and discharge from the eye. Eye infections can occur in different parts of the eye and can affect just one eye or both.
Eyeglass or Contact Lens Benefits Risk and Tips to Select Proper One
In the past, eyeglass lenses were made exclusively of glass; today, however, most lenses are made of plastic. Plastic lenses are lighter, do not break as easily as glass lenses, and can be treated with a filter to keep out ultraviolet light, which can be damaging to the eyes. However, glass lenses are more resistant to scratches than plastic ones.
Prevent Severe Eyelid Spasm /Blepharospasm by Natural Drinking
Blepharospasm is associated with an abnormal function of the basal ganglion from an unknown cause. The basal ganglion is the part of the brain responsible for controlling the muscles. In rare cases, heredity may play a role in the development of blepharospasm. It happens when your eyelid muscles repeatedly and rhythmically contract.
Long Time Computer Using May Lead to Vision/ Eyesight Problems
Eyestrain associated with computer use isn't thought to have serious or long-term consequences, but it's disruptive and unpleasant. Though you may not be able to change the nature of your job or all the factors that can cause eyestrain, you can take steps to reduce the strain. Often, eye shape is the culprit. Someone with perfect 20/20 vision has eyes that are basically round like a baseball.
Check your Eye Whether You are At Risk of Glaucoma or Not
Many people have some type of visual problem at some point in their lives. Some can no longer see objects far away. Others have problems reading small print. These types of conditions are often easily treated with eyeglasses or contact lenses.
Vision Problems for Spending Too much Time In Front of Computer Screen
The 2001 U.S. Census Report states that over 143 million Americans spend time at a computer every day, and that 54 million of those are children.Eyestrain is the number one complaint of office workers. The more time you spend working at a computer, the more likely you are to report problems with eyestrain (Cornell University, 1999 "Computers in the Schools")
Sports Specific Protective Eyewear: for The Protection of Eye Injuries
If you encourage your child and set an example yourself, though, chances are a few sports will spark his or her interest. Fan the flame by taking your child to local sporting events and explaining how different games are played. Then, when the time is right, provide opportunities for your child to try out equipment and play informally with other children.
Eyelash Transplant Surgery may Keep your Lashes on Growing
Eyelash transplantation can be used to replace eyelashes that have been damaged by trauma, or to enhance existing eyelashes that are otherwise short and/or sparse. The use of the single-follicle hair transplantation technique enables new, living and growing eyelashes to be permanently restored to the eyelid using microsurgery.
