Sometimes negligence is due to ignorance and we never give emphasis on something that doesn't bother us until problem arises.
Our eye is a very delicate organ in our body.
It makes us do daily activities, do our job, enjoy our family, enjoy the beauty of the nature and feel our surrounding.
Our reactions are based on what our eyes see.
Science said that 85% of the brain processes comes from the eye.
Recent times put pressure in our daily lives.
We are chasing the fast pace of the latest technology and because of these we put too much pressure in our body especially to our eyes.
Majority of our job today demand visual use and accuracy is a must.
We overlook the possibility that one day our body may stop working, unlike computers that will be fix by reboot, reformat or refresh, it may be too late for us to make a move.
Prevention is the most important thing to maintain wellness.
Once a disease sets in, our body is not 100% well already.
Understanding how our eyes work may give a bit of sense of importance and will keep us reminded that we need to care our eyes.
Our eyes see the object and transmitted to our brain, this image is divided into a right and left half.
The eyes invert the image and the right side of what we see ends up in the left side of the brain and vice-versa.
The right side of our brain controls the left side of our body and vice-versa.
Any alteration in this transmission will give wrong interpretation or lack of interpretation for example color blind people.
Also abnormal vision will cause delay of transmission and delay interpretation that's why a near sighted or far sighted person takes more time to see the object and recognize it.
The conjunctiva is the outer covering of our eyes.
This lining consist of cells that produce mucous that lubricates the eye.
This thin layer is the first line of protection.
Inflammation of the conjunctiva is called conjunctivitis or pink eye.
The first and most powerful lens is the clear, domed-shape cornea; it is always clear because there is no blood vessel in this area.
The aqueous humor is the one who keeps the cornea nourished, the tears that runs down into it keeps it moist.
The iris is the colored part of the eye: some are brown, green, blue etc.
This part contracts and expands, open and close the pupil in response to the brightness of surrounding light.
The iris protects the most sensitive retina.
Damage to the iris will eventually damage the retina.
The pupil is the hole in the center of the iris where light passes through.
It is the iris muscle that controls the size.
Like the camera with a film, we have to protect it from direct light exposure; the retina is the film of the eye.
It converts light rays into electrical signal which will be send to the brain by the optic nerve.
In between the lens and retina is a space called vitreous cavity which is filled with jelly like liquid called vitreous humor.
This is the few of the many parts of the eye.
Looking at the structure, we can see that there is no hard covering or protection for our eyes like our delicate brain.
Our eyes is highly vulnerable to injury and so delicate to fix once there is a problem.
Care and good health habit is very important to keep our vision good.
Any problem that arises should be taken cared right away.
The eye is the window of our soul.
How terrible if the window is shut down.
