Care of the Eyes
It is necessary that you take proper care of your eyes. If there is any problem you should go to an eye specialist. Have a regular checkup—
a) If advised, use suitable spectacles.
b) Too little or too much light is bad for eyes. Insufficient light causes eyestrain and headaches. Too much light, like that of the Sun, a powerful lamp or a laser torch can injure the retina.
c ) Do not look at the Sun or a powerful light directly.
d) Never rub your eyes. If particles of dust go into your eyes, wash your eyes with clean water. If there is no improvement go to a doctor.
e) Always read at the normal distance for vision. Do not read by bringing the book too close to your eyes or keeping it too far.
. If food is deficient in some components, eyes may also suffer. Lack of vitamin A in foodstuff is responsible for many eye troubles. Most common amongst them is night blindness. One should, therefore, include in the diet components which have vitamin A. Raw carrots, broccoli and green vegetables (such as spinach) and cod liver oil are rich in vitamin A. Eggs, milk, curd, cheese, butter and fruits such as papaya and mango are also rich in vitamin A.
