Preventing Loss of Eyesight

By Rey Vetangelo


While the majority of pregnancies develop as smoothly and as normally as can be expected, sometimes very serious complications can occur in the first trimester. An ectopic pregnancy is one of these serious and sometimes deadly complications.

The reason that most people lose their eyesight as they age is that as you grow older, the lens of the eye loses flexibility. This means that the eye has a harder time changing focus as you shift from looking at items that are farther away to items that are much closer.

Fortunately there are many things you can do to help preserve your clear eyesight longer. One of the first things you may want to develop the habit of doing is looking away from tasks that require near vision often.

To change your taste you have to make sure that you understand what food is going to be the best for your body. You want to make sure that you put the right nutrients, minerals and vitamins into your body throughout the day.

While you are taking the time to understand what is best for your body you may want to visit with a doctor or a professional. There are many different nutritionists that can help you eat food that will be beneficial for your entire body.

Breaks are not only good for your eyes, but they can be good for you in other ways as well. The second thing you will want to consider as you try to take care of your eyesight is the lighting that you working with.

It can be quite hard on your eyes to read or do other small tasks in dim light as the eyes have to strain to see clearly. This stress can also contribute to an earlier loss of clear eyesight.

When you want to be more active you should make this goal a priority. When you are going to work you should take the time to climb the stairs rather than take the elevator and you should take a walk around your office every fifteen minutes.

A rupture due to this condition is a true medical emergency, and requires immediate care. If you suspect you have a rupture, call 911 right away and let them know.

By sitting up straight and keeping your task at a level that you can easily see, you will be reducing the stress that is placed on your eyes. Again, the less stress you place on your eyes, the better.

Outside of your time at work you should make sure that you are moving your body. After you get home you may want to try taking a walk around your neighborhood to unwind and relax after your day at work.

The walk can be good for your mental health as well as your physical health. Learning to relax and leave your work problems and stressors at work can be a great way to decrease the stress that you feel when you are in your home.

You can reduce the amount of work that you eyes must do by holding the pen or pencil about one inch from the tip instead so that you do not have to tip your head to see what you are writing. This can take some getting used to, so you will probably have to make a conscious effort to make sure that you write correctly.

Some issues of this matter may resolve on their own, without the need for any intervention, while others will need urgent surgery due to life-threatening bleeding. However, most women are treated with medications or surgery. Two surgical options are available: laparotomy, and laparoscopy. Laparotomy is an open procedure in which a transverse incision is cut across the lower abdomen.

On the other hand, laparoscopy involves inserting viewing instruments into the pelvis through tiny incisions in the skin. In most occasions, laparoscopy is preferred over laparotomy because of the tiny incisions used, and the quicker recovery afterwards.

In addition to going outside, you will also want to consider eating a healthy diet. Your eyes depend on many nutrients and vitamins to function correctly.

Fruits and vegetables contain a lot of the nutrients and vitamins that they need. In addition, you may want to consider taking supplements of lutein, zeaxanthin, and bilberry as they can help strengthen your eyesight.

It is also a very good idea to invest in a pair of good sunglasses that have UV ray protection to use during the summertime and other times during the year when it is bright outside. The UV rays from the sun can cause quite a bit of damage if you do not provide this protection.
