The eyes are one of the most important of the five sensory faculties. We need them to see and relish the world around us. They allow us to read and get work done. They help remember images we once saw, plus they keep our dreams alive at night. The eyes are also delicate and vulnerable to outside damage. They are one of the few organs that are on the outside of the body, protected only by a thin layer of skin, the eyelids.
The sun is a powerful wonderful thing. The sun is great for your skin and provides us valuable Vitamin D. Each day find the time to spend at least an hour in the sun. The sun has great healing powers and also the natural light is as important as meals, water, and air. Never look directly at the sun; of course, it can burn the actual retinas. Wear some kind of protection like a visor or hat to safeguard the eyes
Televisions and computers are used in our daily lives but they are hard on the eyes. They pressure eyes to stare for too long as well as don't offer the eyes enough movement. The length and angle doesn't ever change, so the eyes remain looking at a still object for too long. It is not always possible to avoid the tv or computers, especially computers. Look away every so often and focus on things far away to give your own eyes a chance to move and adjust. Try not to spend the entire day in front of the television or at least allow your eyes wander during advertisements.
Reading is never harmful for that eyes, but it helps to enjoy what you're reading. The eyes will be more calm when reading a book than when reading a text book full of new information. Learning to relax no matter what the subject is the key to enjoying reading. Dim lights and small print may be problematic at first, but the eyes will adjust whenever relaxed. Reading in bed could be relaxing and reading whilst driving doesn't have to make you ill.
The eyes are sensitive organs, but learning to relax and keep them protected can ensure great vision for a long time.
