By Skimmy Gupta
The exam fever is on with thousands of students poring over books and burning midnight oil. Extra eye care must be taken during studying hours to avoid common eyestrain problem.Dr.Himanshu Mehta, Ophthalmologist suggests general precautions and tips for students to take care of their eyes for better concentration and good exam results.
Dr. Himanshu Mehta, ophthalmologist at Vision eye Center: a state-of-art eye care and treatment center, Juhu caters to clientele range from underprivileged society to film personalities. Speaking about students and eye care, he told The Asian Age “During exam days, eyestrain can cause several ailments like headache, migraine etc. Proper lightning is absolutely essential for students spending hours studying for exams. Headaches during continuous poring over books occur due to small error or slight impairment of eyesight. A 20-20 vision is necessary for a young student to attend to his daily duties without cumbersome spectacles or lenses. It is mandatory to get a child’s eyes checked when he becomes 4 years , as most small kids never complain about improper eyesight. Redness, burning and watering of eyes should not be taken lightly. A student must have his eyes tested by an ophthalmologist on regular basis and if required wear correct glasses”.
Dr.Mehta underwent super specialty training in ophthalmology from Houston, USA and involved in early studies of Excimer Laser. His area of focus is cataract and vireo-retina surgery and has conducted over 5000 surgeries. He is orienting people about causes and effects of blindness by diabetes through regular eye camps throughout India. As he says “Vision is our most cherished gift and neglect at early stages can often lead to cataract and even blindness at a later stage. New nutritional research shows in many cases of degenerative eye disease, nutritional intervention is effective at slowing, stopping and reversing untreatable eye diseases. As an ophthalmology surgeon, I adhere to innovative technology & cost effective treatment; sympathy & understanding and judicious use of surgery.”
“TIPS“ FOR STUDENTS
Strictly avoid reading while lying down. Read sitting in upright position.
Avoid reading in light falling directly from front or back. It must fall from the side.
Interperse continuous studies with outdoor games like table tennis to reduce eyestrain.
Eat a balanced diet with fruits and green vegetables
Have a proper balanced sleep with sufficient number of hours.
Many children are scared of falling sleep during exams because of parents’ pressure; This situation should be handled by building child’s confidence
