Seven Everyday Habits That Can Make Your Eyesight Clear As Day


Protecting your eyes is one thing you should never compromise on as that is the best way to preserve your eyesight over time. Certain everyday habits can be very beneficial since they don’t take much effort. Here are a number of everyday habits that can make your eyesight as clear as day.

Reduce Screen Time
Smartphones, laptops, and other devices are a big part of our lives today, and while they are very useful, they’re not doing anything to protect your eyesight.

Staring at the screen for extended periods of time can cause computer vision syndrome, which is marked by eye strain, blurred vision, headaches, and dry eyes.

Take frequent breaks during the day by way of the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look away at something else for 20 seconds that’s at least 20 feet away, to give your eyes a break from using your near vision. This is why you have tired eyes after a long work day.

Quit Smoking
Tobacco is extremely toxic to the cells of the retina, a thin layer of tissue lining the back of the eye, and significantly increases the risk of developing macular degeneration, which may lead to blindness. Macular degeneration occurs when the central part of the retina (the macula) deteriorates.

Stay Hydrated
Dehydration worsens dry eye symptoms, so if you’re travelling by air, drink lots of water before and during a flight to protect eyesight. You can enjoy alcoholic and caffeinated drinks as long as you drink extra water to make up for fluid loss. Also, the overhead air conditioning tends to blow dry air directly into your eyes, so close the vents before takeoff.

Face the A/C away from your eyes
Blasting your air conditioning system directly on your face may feel good on a hot day, but it can cause problems on your eyes. The dry air removes natural moisture on the surface of your eyes. To protect eyesight, point the air vents away from your face.

Use Shades
Use sunglasses that protect against 100 percent of the sun’s ultraviolet A and ultraviolet B rays, that can damage your eyes. Note that the fact that they are more expensive doesn’t necessarily mean they will offer better protection. Make your choice fashionable by going for the best sunglasses for your face shape.

Wear On Cloudy Days Too
One of the common myths about sunglasses is that you don’t need them if it isn’t sunny. UV lights still shine through on cloudy days and will hit and damage your eyes. Never leave home unprotected.

Get Regular Eye Examinations
Visit your eye doctor once a year for a comprehensive dilated eye examination. When your eyes are dilated, the doctor can see the back of the eyes and examine them for any signs of damage or disease.

Comprehensive eye exams aren’t just about the eyes. They can also help detect chronic conditions such as high blood pressure and diabetes.

Take Your Contact Lenses Off
Never sleep in your contact lenses even if the manufacturer says it is OK. The contact lens surface may allow micro-organisms to adhere to your eye, therefore increasing the likelihood of infection.

Removing your lenses before bed also gives your eyes more contact with oxygen, which decreases the risk of infection.

Coronavirus: 'The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing'

"The worst bit is the uncontrollable coughing," says Andrew O'Dwyer, who is recovering after being infected with the new coronavirus following a skiing trip to Italy in late February. "I've had worse flu, without a doubt - but I wouldn't want to catch it again," he says during his self-isolation at home in south-west London. Despite having type 1 diabetes, Andrew says having the virus "isn't anything to worry about for me personally". He adds that the fever he experienced is "no different to normal flu-type symptoms". "I've not been concerned," he says. The severity of symptoms can vary widely among people. Those who are older and have pre-existing medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease) are more likely to become severely ill and can need hospital treatment. There have been 10 coronavirus-related deaths so far in the UK. Andrew was told the virus wasn't circulating in the resort ...

THE MASCARENE PARROT

The Mascarene parrot was 35 cm (14 in) in length with a large red bill and long, rounded tail feathers. Its legs were red, and it had naked red skin around the eyes and nostrils. It had a black facial mask and partially white tail feathers, but the colouration of the body, wings and head is unclear. Descriptions from life indicate the body and head were ash grey, and the white part of the tail had two dark central feathers. In contrast, descriptions based on stuffed specimens state that the body was brown and the head bluish but do not mention the dark central tail feathers. This may be due to the specimens having changed colour as a result of aging and exposure to light, as well as other forms of damage. Very little is known about the bird in life. The Mascarene parrot was first mentioned in 1674, and live specimens were later brought to Europe, where they lived in captivity . The species was scientifically described in 1771. Only two stuffed specimens exist today, in Paris and Vienn...
