Your eyes are your windows to the world. They are the most dominant of all the senses. About 85% of our sensory input comes from our eyes and the rest from other sensory organs. Having normal and healthy vision is, therefore, a great blessing. Your overall health, eating habits and your life style have a direct bearing upon your vision and the health of your eyes. If you want to lead normal and healthy life, you have to pay utmost attention to your eyes and give them proper rest and care.

Vision impairing diseases are difficult to detect in the early stages of their development, because the symptoms are not easily detectable. Even a simple problem like defective vision may not be immediately known. While this can pose problems, it can be resolved to some extent by having your eyes routinely examined. This is all the more necessary in case of people having chronic health problems such as diabetes or high blood pressure.

Stress is a major healthcare issue. It leaves a strong impact upon the eyes. Therefore, they have to be protected from the stress and strain, caused by your daily activities and the pressures of your life. The following suggestions are meant to protect your eyes from the excess wear and tear caused by stressful factors.
