Spectacles or Contact lens

Vision is GOD's gift. But sometimes, while reading, if the body posture is not good, then the eye sight becomes weaker. Not eating nutritious food also leads to weakening of eye sight.

So what are the options available to us once our eye sight is weak?

The first option is to wear spectacles which make our vision near perfect. Go to a shop which deals with glasses, select a frame as per choice and budget and get the glasses made as per the vision check done at the shop itself. Now all shops have advanced machines which can check the vision accurately and there is no need to go to a Doctor first.

Wearing glasses solves the eye weekness, however there are drawbacks with this solution. Since the need to wear glasses is for a long duration the spectatcles can cause impression on the sides of our temptles, thus causing headaches as well at times. In summer time the drops of perspiration can drop on the glasses making them messy and impairing our vision. There is constant need of cleaning the glasses in summer due to this reason. Similar to this problem the glasses become foggy in rainy/humid weather and also during cold environment like air conditioned rooms. If you have small kids they also love to pull the glasses time and again causing you irritation and discomfort. While driving it is not possible to wear shades, however an option in form of shades is available which can fit on top of the glasses.

Wearing contact lenses is another option. However, wearing contact lenses has it's own disadvantages - like they need to be inserted into the eye every day and taken out in the night before sleeping. Handling the lenses is a big project as they are very thin and can fold very easily. It is required to put some lubricating eye drops once or twice in a day to avoid dryness and itchiness of the eye. While wearing lenses it is very dangerous to rub eyelids in case or irritation or tiredness due to sleep.

Both these solutions of wearing glasses or lenses are having disadvantages which are quite irritating for a person who has to wear these during entire daytime. A better option is to prevent this weekness to come in the first place by eating good healthy food which promotes good eye health for example: carrots and grams. Don't put extra stress on eyes by reading in good light and with correct body and head posture. Do some yogic exercises for strengthening of eye muscles and relaxation of eyes.
