The eyes, integral to our body, can reveal a lot about our overall health. Diseases like hypertension, diabetes, and autoimmune conditions impact vision, and eye exams can even diagnose such conditions. The retina, a unique feature of eye exams, offers real-time views of arteries and veins, unlike other organs. This makes the saying "The eyes are the windows to your soul" surprisingly accurate. Understanding eye anatomy, our ability to see starts with light entering the tear film, which, when compromised, leads to dry eyes. Factors like hygiene, prolonged screen time, and environmental exposure contribute. Solutions range from hygiene practices and frequent breaks to artificial tears. For a quick and easy way to maintain eye health, use the 20/20/20 rule. Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This will reset the muscles in the eye to rest and help avoid eye strain. Concerns about blue blocking lenses remain inconclusive, yet using them won't hurt. As light passes through the lens and vitreous, floaters may appear, generally benign but requiring attention if associated with flashing lights, potentially indicating a retinal tear. Aging, family history, smoking, obesity, poor diet, and UV exposure contribute to poor eye health. A Mediterranean diet with omega and lutein-rich foods helps mitigate risks. In certain cases, eye vitamins are recommended. For more info, click the button below!
