Every year, more than 50,000 people lose their eye sight due to negligence. While some falter by not conforming to regularly advised eye care tips, some neglect eye injuries until they start experiencing drastic eye vision symptoms.
With this article, I intent to create and maintain a great urgency for eye care. Despite all of us being aware of the benefits of eye vision, a huge majority of people ignore eye care for one reason or the other. Let us read about some invaluable insights to protect this valuable asset (eyes). It is important to use eye protective wears while coming in close contact with something that can splash into the eye, knowingly or unknowingly. If you are working near flying particles, do make it a point to wear protective eyewear. If you have children at home, do not succumb to their wishes of owning laser pointers as light coming from them and aimed at the eye can prove more damaging than staring at the sun directly.
If you have pets at home, do extra care by not allowing children to play in areas that are used by the pets for housebreaking (urination). This is because roundworm (Toxocara) larvae in their droppings can result in health problems as severe as blindness. It is recommended to wash your eyes with clean water at least 5-6 times a day. If you have a habit of rubbing your eyes, try finding ways to get rid of it else you are a high-risk candidate for eye damage and injuries. If you expect yourself to go outside during the summers or scorching heat, always make it a point to wear quality sunglasses. Sunglasses not only protect you from the harmful ultra-violet rays but also protect your eyes against flying particles. Please follow these tips; they are for your own safety.
