Visual habits and eye nutrition

Eye care deserves immense importance for every individual. Delicate eyes and crucial eyesight make eye care as necessary as other aspects in daily life, such as eating healthy foods, physical training in a gym and so forth. The aspect of eye care is even more urgent for individuals who have visual problems already. The basic philosophy of body health is that if one looks after himself, he will receive the most from it.

Visual problems are so common in modern times that millions of folks in the world are being affected by nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism, not to say more serious eye diseases. Even if there are various solutions to those common refractive errors such as eyeglasses and contact lenses and even laser eye surgery, patients can hardly get a perfect answer. For instance, most women would be concerned about their look when they must ask for aid from corrective glasses or contact lenses. Eye shadow, eyeliners, mascara, false eyelashes and the like can all be affected by vision corrective devices.

Eye care involves different aspects. One is associated with visual habits in daily life. Eyesight can easily deteriorate if a person does not pay enough attention to his or her ways of using the eyes. Many bad habits can be listed, including watching television constantly, playing video games, sitting too close or near to the computer screen, constant reading and so on.

Another aspect is eye nutrition. Sufficient nutrition is essential for the eyes to maintain health. Nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and other antioxidants are thought to be helpful for eye health. In order to get adequate antioxidants, people should consume foods like orange, kiwi, carrots and grapes. In addition, there are many other foods that are beneficial to the well being of the eyes, such as spinach, green peas, French beans, lettuce, nuts, seeds, pepper, eggs, fish and some poultry products.

Except for good visual habits and eye nutrition, good eye care also involves proper protection against ultraviolet light, eye exercises and so on.

Laser eye surgery questions?

I’m only 15, so I may not be getting it for a few years til my eyes stop changing. I just have a few questions about it, before I even consider it:
1.How is it done? can you give me a detailed description? Not just “They scrape your eye, you keep it open” etc. What do they use and all that?
2. I watched a video online on a girl who got it done, and she said for a while her eyes were open, but it was black. I freak out when I’m blinded. If I’m in total darkness I will freak out. it’s not a fear of the dark, it’s a fear of being blinded, and not being able to see.
3.How long does each eye take?

I had it done a week ago!

1. They first lay you down on a padded bed thing, and swing the laser machine over you. They then fit the instrument that keeps your eyes open on your eyelids, which feels a bit uncomfortable but not too bad.

Then comes the blinding part – they use a suction thing to stop your eye from moving while they cut the flap. It felt like someone was pressing on my eye and my vision went grey for about five seconds. I could hear the vibrating from the microkeratome cutting the flap in my eye but not feel it (other than a vibration).

Then the doctor puts eye drops in my eyes, and peels the corneal flap away and my vision changes from sharp to almost like looking in a stained glass window. Then I have to stare at a red light for around a minute per eye. They count down. You can smell a funky smell like hair burning… but no pain.

Repeat for the other eye!

I was in the operating room maybe 5-10 mins total.
