HIV and AIDS , rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus.

Diabetics can manifest in the eye as diabetic retinopathy  which is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide among adult age 20 to 74 years.

Hypertension usually manifests in the eye as hypertensive nephropathy.

EYEGLASS PRESCRIPTION

For good clarity go for quality lenses. Good lens prescription determines how clearly you will see with your lenses. The lenses you choose for your eye glasses even more than the frame determines how happy you are with your eye-wear.

You can avoid those thick lenses by going for ultra-thin lenses, is always wise to give children anti- scratch lenses and for field workers always use poly-carbonate lenses at the site.

Regular computer users should ensure they use computer lenses (anti reflection lenses) to avoid computer vision syndrome or they may also benefit from 100% blue color block lenses and this may also benefit those that work under intense sunlight. Ensure you choose wisely while going for prescription lenses. Look better, see clearly and be happy.

CHILD’S EYES AND LEARNING ABILITIES.

Studies have shown that majority of pupils struggling with reading have vision problems. It has been estimated that 80% of school learning involves the sense of vision. This implies that poor vision can cause huge frustration to a school child and a frustrated child can also be helped.

A comprehensive eyes examination is the key in providing help to a child with poor vision. being aware of the signs and symptoms of learning –  related vision problems keeps the children from struggling needlessly.

The symptoms of learning related vision problems includes: headache or eyes strain, blurred vision or double vision, crossed eyes or eyes that appears to move independently of each other (strabismus ), turning or tilting the head to use one eyes only or closing one eyes excessive blinking or rubbing place while reading or using a finger as a guide, show reading speed or poor reading comprehension, omitting or repeating words or confusing

Similar words difficulty in remembering what was read, persistent reversal of words or letters (after grade 3), difficulty remembering, identifying or reproducing shapes for eye hand coordination and evidence of developmental immaturity.

The first step to determining if a problem exist, if your child shows one or more symptoms mentioned above is by seeing an eye doctor who will evaluate and make proper diagnosis. If no vision problem detected , it is possible that your child’s symptoms may be caused by a non-visual dysfunction,  such as dyslexia or a learning disability, which may require the services of an educational specialist.

Vision problem keep some children from performing to their potential. Sometimes teachers and parents fail to make the connection between poor reading and childrens visions.

WEAR SUNGLASSES UNDER THE SUN TO KEEP YOUR EYES HEALTHY.

The importance of sunglasses can not be over emphasized. Did you know that sun rays are dangerous to the eyes just as they are to the skin? Most people think that sunglasses are mostly for fashion.

I wish to inform you that sunglasses may be great fashion accessories but they are mostly worn to protect one’s eyes from sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. The ocular effects of ultra-violet rays include:

1) CATARACT: the clouding of the eye’s crystalline lens that can cause blurred vision. Researches have shown that estimated 20% cases of cataract are caused by UV rays exposure.

2) MACULAR DEGENERATION , a leading cause of blindness in the United States occurs as a result of damage to the retina affecting central vision.

3) PTERIGIUM: Constant exposure to UV rays can cause damage to the conjunctiva. This appears as a tissue growth over the white part of the eyes and sometimes extending to the cornea. It can alter the curve of the eyeball causing astigmatism, irritations and discomforts.

4) PHOTOKERATITIS: This is a condition caused by UV exposures which is a medical term for an ocular sunburn.

Most part of the eye can be affected by UV rays after exposure. Some UV damage to the eyes occur gradually and are not reversible hence it is important to protect the eyes from UV light from a very young age.

It is wise to wear good quality sunglasses that block UV and also wear a hat with a broad brim under intense sunlight to prevent UV from getting into the eyes. Just like the use of seat belts in the car, it is essential to protect the eyes during exposure to the sun rays and this can be achieved by wearing a pair of properly covered sunglasses.

When purchasing sunglasses, always choose sunglasses that block at least 99% of UV light and select frames that wrap-around the face to get the eyes properly protected under the sun.

Also note that the darkness of the tint does not reflect the level of UV block, UV protection depends strongly on the manufacturing quality which is usually indicated on the lenses.
