Don't overlook signs of weak eyesight



Health problem never run away. And a person himself is the best judge for himself. The first person who realizes slight difficulty in reading is the individual himself. This is more pronounced in the age group of 40 and onwards (one can safely assume 30’s and onwards for today’s age) You have difficulty in reading and try to hold the copy little far or closer to eyes. Now this is a clear signal that your eyesight is turning bit weak and you need lens or spectacles. But lot of people despite this first stage, refuse to go to doctor and don’t get examined. This is a big mistake and by the time they go, their eyesight has turned much weaker. And that could have been avoided had they gone and checked with the Doctor at the first stage itself.

Following are the symptoms of weak eyesight-
  • Irritated eyes.
  • Difficulty in focusing.
  • Dry or watery eyes.
  • Blurred or double vision.
  • Increased sensitivity to light.
  • Pain in the neck, shoulders, or back.
  • Headache
Simple ways to treat the weak eyesight-

While you are constantly working on computer and watching TV, people do not blink eyes which can cause dryness and eyestrain. So, one should take a break and blink eyes for 3-4 seconds for a 2 minute period, this can help to re-lubricate the eyes and reduce eyestrain.

Try alternate focusing in near and far objects every few seconds for 3 minutes.

Focus on your hand while you move it towards your face this will help in making eyesight sharp as you focus on moving objects.
