Near-sightedness or myopia is becoming more prevalent across the globe. Many people believe there is a correlation between the rise in computer usage and the increased incidents of myopia, however there is actually no real proof to substantiate this claim.
Many people fear losing their eyesight over losing any other ''sense''. It''s not as if any of us want to go deaf or lose our sense of taste and smell either but going blind is usually a bigger worry for most people. However, there are ways you can protect your eyesight.
Wear sunglasses whenever it is bright outside. This doesn''t just include a sunny summer''s day. The sun does shine all year round, even though in England we sometimes forget this. Even overcast days can damage your eyes with powerful UV rays.
Don''t just wear a cheap pair either. Make sure they carry the CE mark which conforms to European safety standards in protecting your eyes from ultra violet rays.
As mentioned above, take regular ''screen breaks''. This is so your eyes can focus on something else, preferable something in the distance or out the window maybe, to avoid double vision, headaches, eyestrain and soreness.
The old wives''s tale about carrots helping you see in the dark may not be true but your diet does affect your eyesight. Foods such as mango, squash, broccoli, green beans and spinach are rich in lutein and zeaxanthin that helps reduce the risk of contracting cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
If eye diseases run in your family, consult an optician because early detection of cataracts and glaucoma can lead to more straightforward treatment. Even if you don''t currently wear glasses or contact lenses regular eye checks are essential so you can keep abreast of any changes in vision quality and monitor your general eye health.
Your cleaning regime should be second to none if you do wear contact lenses. Don''t ever use tap water or saliva to clean your lenses are try to use solution designed for your lens type. Never borrow anyone else''s lenses and never sleep in them unless directed to by you optometrist. If you don''t stick to a rigid cleaning routine you can risk infection, corneal disease or even, in the worst case scenario, the loss of an eye.
Together with our friends Frank and Mila and a mixed group from Singapore and Indonesia Amy and I spent our "vacation" in Tibet from 27 May to 02 June 2009. A great experience that we probably only make once. Why this adventure? For a long time the "Roof of the World" was one of my dream destinations. Unfortunately, I did not know that this would be less a vacation, but rather an adventure with some quite tough encounters.
Our flight from Singapore via Shanghai and Xian to Xining is without any problems. Our China Eastern Airline has changed over the last few years a great deal: There are almost exclusively Airbus planes with modern furnishings. Only on domestic flights, the equipment is not made for non-Chinese people. So I push with my rather normal-shaped nose the back of the seat in front of me when he decides to sleep. Chinese design. The best would be all the seats would automatically turn to sleep at the same time, like a pack of biscuits in De Beukelaer all tilt at once. No more misunderstandings and lots of space. I try to imagine how American citizens would fit into this kind of seat. That should probably look something like how a half-melted ice-cream between two waffles.
Our stopover in Shanghai Pudong should be without any problems - just in the transit area of the airport. However, our plans are slightly changed. Due to the global swine flu epidemic, outside visitors to China are not immediately allowed to leave the plane Cheap Oakleys, but need to undergo a health test. A team of four physicians dressed in space suits enters the plane Cheap Ray Bans, while all passengers remain in their seats. These physicians carry infrared temperature meters Replica Ray Bans, which are shaped like pistols. With the pistols they "shoot" from a distance of one meter on the forehead of each passenger and then read the temperature. Since this action is probably already in flesh and blood, one loses just a bit of time. After a few minutes everything is over. Only one thing must not happen: There must be no coughing or sneezing to be heard. This would cause a complicated investigation process to trigger quarantine for all passengers at the end.
