How to check eyes
Vision screenings in school systems often do not evaluate the functional use of eyes
for reading and writing activities. Most vision screenings in schools test the child's
visual acuity at 20 feet. Children may have 20/20 acuity at distance but may have
difficulty focusing and integrating their eyes to sustain looking at reading and writing
material.
Some children will even have double vision at close viewing distances but be able to
pass the vision screening for distance vision. While it makes little sense to only screen
visual acuity at distance and then to send the child back to the classroom to work for the
next several hours performing reading and writing tasks, this is presently the standard
that is being used across the United States in our schools.
Protect your eyes
Here are some tips to protect your eyes. When you work in an area in which the eyes
need protection, be sure to wear protective safety glasses to keep the eyes from harm.
This will protect your eyes from chemicals, light, and heat. If you are participating in
sports, you will also need the proper helmets or goggles to prevent injury. When working
near moving particles where there is a great deal of blowing sand or dust or even smoke,
don't forget to wear goggles. These are common for many industrial workers, but some work
around the home also makes their use necessary.
When you do very close reading, it is a good idea to practice good eye hygiene and to
prevent eye injuries. Reading can be complex and is usually done without any thought or
attention to injuries. You use the external muscles of your eyeball to shift from line to
line; at the same time, your ciliary muscles keep your eyes focused on the same point. The
amount of light admitted by the pupil is controlled by the muscles of the iris. You have
to sometimes re-read the same line of print if your vision is in poor muscular condition.
Try not to read in a car or on a moving bus, train, or airplane because your eye
muscles are subjected to the strain of continually refocusing the words read. Reading
while lying down or propped on one elbow will cause eyestrain. Have a good source of light
if you plan to read in bed and assume a normal position for reading with your back propped
with a pillow.
Eyes exercises
There are no eye exercises that will help your eyes see better or that will prevent the
nearsightedness from getting worse. The article 'Can Eye Exercises improve vision'
provides information on how the concept of eye exercises helping vision came about. Some
of the eye exercise methods are the 'Yoga method' and the 'See Clearly method'. Carrots
won't improve eyesight for someone eating normal healthy food. However, carrots are rich
in beta carotene, which is converted into Vitamin A in the body. Vitamin A is important in
maintaining normal vision, and worldwide, Vitamin A deficiency is a leading cause of
blindness. Therefore in the developing world, where deficiency of vitamin A is possible,
eating carrots may be good advice.
