My eyes are very sensitive to light. What should I do?

Light is an essential component for vision.

Our eyes have specialized cells called rods and cones that are responsible for detecting light and sending signals to the brain that are then interpreted as vision.

An eye that is not sensitive to light in any way is an eye with “no light perception” (as it is called by optometrists); an eye with no light perception is totally blind.

However, some eyes are more sensitive to light that normal, causing light intolerance, headaches, etc.

HOW CAN I MAKE MY GLASSES LAST LONG?

For lens wearers, one of the most significant concerns is how to make sure their glasses are in good condition until it is time to get a new prescription.

Taking care of our glasses is important not only because you have invested your time and money to get them, but also because your glasses would not provide you with the sharp vision you desire for your daily activities when they are scratched, dirty or damaged.

Therefore, it is important to take care of your glasses to ensure they last as long as possible.

DO GLASSES ACTUALLY EXPIRE?
She always feels like she is running out of time.

There are so many things to juggle - work, school, extracurricular activities, household chores - and sometimes it feels like there aren't enough hours in the day.

So when it came to renewing her eyeglass prescription,she always found a way to put it off for a while longer.

After managing to use same pair of glasses for about 4 years, she now notices that her vision is blurry even with her glasses.

The end result was that her productivity reduced.

This finally brought her to the eye clinic where she gave the often-heard complaint: “Doctor, my glasses are expired”.

SHOULD I RUB MY EYES? WHAT YOU CAN DO ABOUT ITCHY EYES

This interpretation makes your body go into defence mode against these perceived threats.

Some of these otherwise harmless materials may include pollen, dust, strong scent like perfume, make-up, skin scales from your pet, etc.
