The Eye

Your two eyes provide an incredibly detailed, constantly updated, three-dimensional, colour view of the world. Light rays enter the eye through the cornea, a domed window at the front. They are detected by the retina, a layer of light-sensitive cells. The retina is not much larger than a postage stamp-and even thinner. From the pattern of light rays, the eye generates patterns of nerve signals and sends them to your brain. The parts of your brain specialized for dealing with sight, the visual centres analyse all the information coming in from the eyes. It is your brain that tells you what kinds of shapes and forms, shades and colours, positions and movements you are looking at.

The Eye







 
TIPS ON EYE CARE:


1. EXERCISE: "first, blink your eyes several times. while you keep your eyes closed, roll your eyeballs both clockwise and anticlockwise and take a deep breath. gradually open your eyes while releasing your breath. this exercise lasts for a minute and you can repeat it three times before getting back to work." it serves as a good workout for the eyes.

2. LOOK AWAY

while working for long hours, look at distant objects either in your office or outside. looking at a distant object and then returning to your task helps your eyes focus better. try taking such visual breaks for about five to 10 minutes every hour.

3. PALMING

sit straight at your workstation and rub your palms against each other till you feel them warm. the warmth of your palms helps soothe and relax tired eyes. then, lightly cup your eyes with your palms and relax for 60 seconds. count the seconds in your mind. repeat this exercise two to three times whenever your eyes feel tired, or as often as you want. while palming, you can either rest your elbows on your desk or keep away from the desk and cup your eyes. both ways are fine.


4. . SPLASH WATER ON YOUR FACE

During breaks, splash water on your face while closing your eyes. This has an overall relaxing effect and helps you feel refreshed.

5. TAKE A WALK

After you're done with lunch, take a stroll outside your office for a few minutes. This will give your eyes a much-needed break and get them some fresh air.


6. DRINK WATER

Drink plenty of water. It helps reduce puffiness. When a person is dehydrated, especially in an air-conditioned office, the body starts storing water as a defense mechanism. This adds to puffiness around the eyes.


7. EAT HEALTHY

Incorporate Vitamins A, C, and E on a daily basis; eat citrus fruits, green leafy veggies, tomatoes, spinach, poultry and dairy products. Pack a box of chopped carrots, cucumber and fresh fruits and munch in-between meals at the office.
