HealthHow To Improve Your Eyesight by Svelteb(op): 10:34am On Apr 28, 2015
This article will teach you some methods you can use to preserve and improve your eyesight.
Steps
1. Learn about how vision works. This way, you can understand what you are doing when you are retraining your vision. Improving your vision is a matter of changing the habitual way you see and use your eyes.
2. Get an eye chart. Place it on the wall so you can measure your progress. You can usually find one online.
3. Do relaxation exercises. Place your hands together palm to palm and rub them together briskly creating heat. Place them over your eyes and let your eyes relax. Imagine a relaxing place. Do not let light in. Do this whenever you have time during the day, especially when you're sitting at the computer.
Use alternating hot and cold compresses on your eyes daily to help relax them.
4. Maintain moisture. Maintaining the natural balance of moisture within your eyes is one of the most important things you can do to keep them healthy. Dry eyes can be itchy, red and even painful. Try to blink frequently, even when you are focused on watching TV or working on your computer.
5. Exercise your eyes. If you think about the way your muscles work, then you probably understand that the less exercise they get, the worse off you are. The same thing goes for your eyes. There are specific exercises you can do, that may be able to help you see better.
Use the 20/20/20 exercise. Every twenty minutes, focus on an object that's at least twenty feet away, for twenty seconds. You'll be surprised at how much better your eyes feel.
Put your thumb five inches away from your face and focus on it, after five seconds focus on something behind it. Do this for about ten times and whenever you have time.
6. Increase eye flexibility. If you have ever undertaken an exercise program or played a sport, then you know that flexibility is important. If you don't stretch, or if you use the same muscles over and over again without moving opposite muscle groups, you lose flexibility. If you have a job that requires you to spend long hours looking at a screen, be sure you focus on different objects periodically; try not to keep your eyes in the same position for too long.
7. Lower the brightness level of your computer screen. Lowering the brightness level of your computer's monitor can help your eyes to relax. Don't lower it so much that you have trouble seeing, and avoid positioning your monitor so there are reflections.
8. Take regular breaks. If your eyes must focus on a task for long periods of time, take regular breaks. Taking a ten minute break every hour can help prevent eye strain and give your eyes a chance to heal themselves.
9. Reduce stress. Every one of the body's systems reacts to stress differently. The eyes are put under constant strain and stress - the more TV you watch, the more you stare at a computer screen, and the more you play games on your smartphone, the more stress you put on your eyes. Make an effort to use natural light, and take time away from your gadgets. You might be surprised to find that you see and feel better as a result.
10. Get some sleep. You might have noticed that when you go for long periods of time without adequate sleep, you feel tired and head-achy. You also may have noticed that your vision seems blurry and that it almost hurts to keep your eyes open. Sleep is important for all your bodily functions, and getting adequate rest can assist in eyesight improvement since sleep allows overworked eye muscles to relax completely.
11. Protect your eyes from UV rays. Wear good quality sunglasses that provide UV protection, and your eyes will thank you. Amazingly enough, you can gain eyesight improvement, and look great - all at the same time!

Nutrition

1. 'Feed' your eyes. Just like the rest of the body, the eyes need good nutrition to function well. Carrots, kale, blueberries, apricots, and other foods rich in beta carotene are all good for your eyes. Stay away from junk food.

2. Stay hydrated. The average human body is made up of about 60% water, sometimes more. If your eyes are often dry, tired and blurry, try increasing your water intake. In addition, drinking plenty of water is important for your whole body.
3. Try taking Vitamins For Vital Vision. Help your eyes by getting plenty of vitamins A and C, as well as Lutein & Zeaxanthin.
Don't forget Omega 3's. Omega 3 fatty acids are essential nutrients that can help maximize your health. Most people know that they're good for your heart - what many don't realize is that Omega 3's can help keep your retinas healthy and stop age-related eyesight deterioration.

4. Take amino acids. Amino acids, especially Taurine, are essential for eye health. Amino acids protect your eyes from the free radicals that can cause damage over time - they keep eye tissue healthy and prevent eye deterioration.

cheesy cheesy...sometimes the IDs are worth more than some thousand naira
adanduka:
[b]This post is inspired by the thread- Ways to identify pick-pockets...

Pick-pockets are everywhere and rather than do jobs to earn their pay, they keep looking for unsuspecting folks to steal from.
It was 5:45pm and I was on my way home from work. I was approaching 1st Artillery having joined the bus at Rumuola junction, Port Harcourt Rd, Port Harcourt. I was seated at the last seat at the back of the four seater bus. An elderly man right beside me started coughing and from the sound it appeared he has a mucus-clogged throat or is it trachea. He then started getting up a little and leaning over the guy at the window so he could spit from the window. It was a disgusting moment for all of us at the back seat, moreso for the dude whom he was leaning across. The guy fearing that the wind might splash back some sputum on his face as the bus was accelerating asked the man to come over to his side so he could have the window to himself. Strangely enough, the elderly man kept his right leg straight and stiff and struggled “painfully” to move over continuously motioning to the leg and then it dawned on us that the leg was permanently straight and stiff or so we thought.
As the vehicle reached Artillery and the conductor called the bus-stop, the elderly man said he was alighting and the dude who was at the extreme instinctively checked for his wallet, he realized his wallet was gone. He immediately realized the elderly man had taken it and all that drama was for his purse. Fortunately for him, he sighted the ‘elderly thief’ who had crossed over to the other side of the road and he started shouting and chasing him and he was caught. He was lucky to escape being lynched that fateful day as the guy he stole from said they should pity him. The funny part was that the thief’s labour was in vain as the wallet contained only IDs and no money and he would have been beaten up for nothing.
