Eye Problems & their solution

Eye a blessing from God

Not everyone is blessed with perfect eyes, we are lucky we have vision, we should thank god for the blessing he has showered on us, we can understand those with no eyesight must be going through hell.

At some stage we also face eye problems, but that does not matter because there are many ways to fix vision defects, such as glasses, contacts or surgery. These defects usually occur due to stress, lack of sleep, nutritional deficit, genetic problems etc.

Eyes are your body's most highly developed sensory organs. In fact, a far larger part of your brain is dedicated to the functions of eyesight that to those of hearing, taste, touch or smell.

We tend to take eyesight for granted, yet when vision problems develop most of us will do everything in our power to restore our eyesight to normal
