When a long-suffering walks through the door, the eye care expert must immediately begin evaluating the integrity of that patient; the way he or she carries themselves, their speech pattern, facial features, clarity of their eyes, position of their eyes, signs of squinting, or excessive tearing. These careful comments could alert the practitioner to issues that need attention. The eyes, as we know are the measure of the inner workings of the body. The pupils, in exacting, distinguish the delicate intricacies of the brain, and any abnormalities could prove devastating.
Our basic visual design is such that both eyes work jointly in synchrony with each other. That is to say that the eyes are hypothetical to focus at the same level, move together, procedure light at the same rate, and both pupils are hypothetical to react the same to light and somewhere to stay. There are certain circumstances that will prevent full regular functioning.
For example, the eyes may not move the same way resultant in an eye turn, or one eye may see better then the other consequential in decreased visual functioning. However, the pupils are always imaginary to react the same way, at the same time. The one immunity to this rule is if an individual is born with this irregularity. Putting that state of affairs aside, all pupils must respond identically. If there is a pupil irregularity, a very serious neurological crisis could exist, and that may be life aggressive.
The human beings are blessed with five sensory organs and eyes are among that five. We move eyes several times a day to bring the objects in focus. Due to its sharp focus one is able to see the far distant objects and the minute ones like ant. Any error in the functioning of the eye results in vision defects. The common vision defects are:
o Myopia (short sightedness)
o Hypermetropia (long sightedness)
o Astigmatism
o Presbyopia
o Causes of Eye problems
o Reading in inadequate light or dim light
o Working on computer for longer periods without using computer screnn.
o Inadequate diet specially the diet which is deficient in vitamin A
o Watching television from close and for maximum hours
Conditions which affect the structure or function of the pupil of the eye, including disorders of innervation to the pupillary constrictor or dilator muscles, and disorders of pupillary reflexes
Home Remedies for eye care and Pupil:
o Mix one part of rose water and one part of lime juice and store in a bottle and use it as an eye drop.
o Intake of sufficient amounts of vitamin A is very necessary for healthy vision.
o Eating spinach will help in preventing various eye problems as it contains carotene in very rich amount.
o Using drops of eyebright herb are very beneficial for the eye conditions.
o The consumption of good amount of vitamin C also lowers the chances of developing cataracts.
o Make a mixture of 4-5 grams of alum powder and 30-35 grams of rose water. Put 2-3 drops of this mixture in each eye every night to get relief from eyestrain and also redness in the eyes.
o Washing the eyes with cold water will give relief from strain and soothe the eyes.
Eye Exercises:
Palming – sit relaxed with legs folded on a chair and rest the elbows on the table. Keep the palms of both hands on the cheeks, close both the eyes and cover them with the hands. Remain in this position for 10-15 minutes.
Blinking – while doing constant work with eyes, blink the eyes at least 10-12 times continuously.
Pupil exercises – rotate the pupils up and down for at least 5-6 times while keeping the neck and backbone straight.
Other causes of unequal pupil sizes may include:
* Aneurysm
* Bleeding inside the skull caused by head injury
* Brain tumor or abscess
* Excess pressure in one eye caused by glaucoma
* Infection of membranes around the brain caused by meningitis or encephalitis
* Migraine headache
* Seizure (pupil size difference may remain long after seizure is over)
* Tumor, mass, or lymph node in the upper chest or lymph node causing pressure on a nerve may cause decreased sweating, a small pupil, or drooping eyelid all on the affected side.
