KARACHI: Save eyes from stress

KARACHI, Feb 4: Eyes are most delicate organs and like all other organs their overuse and misuse may lead to serious problems.

The most common eye problem is eye stress. Eye stress is as much a concern as any illness of the body. It makes the eyes tired and you drained of energy. Stress comes in many forms and one of the most prevalent is eye stress. No other body part is as overused and taken for granted than our eyes. We need to protect them because the eyes are very sensitive and susceptible to stress.

Modern lifestyle has come to mean more eye stress. There is the endless staring at the computer while in the office. Then if you go out, the glaring sun and the dirt offer another sources of stress. No matter what you do at work or play, your eyes will surely be subjected to undue stress. It is observed that fatigued eyes often lose focus.

Serious eyestrain can also cause a number of other problems from short-term head and neck aches to long term conditions like myopia. However, giving eyes proper rest as well as exercise would not only fight strain, but also ensure better vision.

Due to the ever-increasing pace of life today, more and more people are searching for ways to achieve relief from stress and that wouldn't require them to take any vacation.

Workaholics especially want something that can provide instant stress relief because they just can't imagine tearing themselves from work. Probably, some people believe that prescription medicine is the best way to achieve stress relief; the best and the easiest. But that is simply not true! There are a lot of times that people find themselves addicted to the use of prescription medicines that in the end fail to achieve their primary purpose and that is to give the user relief from stress.—PPI
