How to take good care of your eyes?

Eyes are the soul of our life. Taking good care of your eyes is definitely important.

1) Exercise your eyeballs

If you spend long hours in front of the computer or reading books. It is very bad for the eyes as our our eyes need to rest too.

- Take a 10 minute break every 2 hours and look at other things. The best is to look outside your house look at the trees and plants.

- Blink your eyes more often.

- Rub both of your hands together until it is abit warm and cover for 1 minute on your eyes. After that, you will feel more refreshed.

2) Drink Milk and eat fruits and vegetables.

Vegetables like broccoli, cauliflower and carrot are beneficial for our eyes. Eat fruits like Apples, Oranges and Pears every day.

3) Visit Eye Specialist.
People aged 55 onwards should see a eye specialist every year to ensure your eyes are healthy.

Lasik Eye Surgery

I have been considering Lasik Eye Surgery for about 2 years but i hesitated because i am afraid of surgery and my degree is not that bad. A couple of my friends went for Lasik and it really change their lifes. One went for Lasik is because he have to wear helmet when he is driving a bike and one went is because she hate contact lenses and the other one is because her eye sight is really VERY BAD.

Lasik improves their lifes greatly without needing to depend on glasses or contact lenses anymore.

Advantages of Lasik:

• Painless and Fast Surgery process usually less than 30 mins
• Achieve a better vision
• Cornea strength is preserved and vision remains stable after Lasik
• Corrects myopia with or without astigmatism and hyperopia with or without astigmatism.

Disadvantages of Lasik:

• The healing process varys for each individual
• Night Glare may occur in some cases.
• Changes made to the cornea cannot be reversed.
• Expensive
• Side Effects for the first 24-48 hours such as Glare, Dry Eyes and Fluatuating Vision may occur.

I personally feel that before going for Lasik Eye Surgery, seek professionals and friends for advices. Best is go to Lasik Surgeons that your friends had tried it before. Overall, I think Lasik provides more convenience in life.
