FAB's Myth Busters...

The eyes are said to be the mirrors of the soul but they're also one of  the most misunderstood parts of the body.  That explains why there are a  lot of myths surrounding them.

Since we we're young if not all, most of us..was told "never to sleep while your hair is still wet or you will get blind!"...

In this article we would like to clarify somethings and provide more understanding.

Is it true when you sleep while your hair is wet can make your eyes blurry or blind?

According to eye experts (Opthalmologists) and other professionals caring for our eyes this is "so untrue!".
Eye deficiency can be caused by many things but sleeping while having your hair wet its a big "NO!NO! "

Below are examples which can cause eye sight defeciency:

Bad eye sight can means lacking of essential nutrients and vitamins which can be found in green leafy vegetables..
and dont forget Vit. A,

"Bata palang tayo sinasabihan na tayo ng mga magulang natin na kumain ng Carrots o di kaya'y kalabasa..na parehong mayaman sa bitamina A."

(But be warned everything that is too much..is bad..excessive Vit. A can cause
blurred vision, itchy skin, loss of appetite, hair loss, joint pains, and irregular menstruation.)

Reading in dark places...

when in dark places our eyes works double the effort..and long period of time in this condition our eyes will get stressed out...which lead to eye strains which includes headaches, drooping eyes, sore eye balls, back and neck ache and blurred visions..

"as much as possible choose a place where the light is good enough for you to see clearly."

Too much exposure to U.V.R. or Sunlight

Yes! Sunlight is good to us, to our skin and even the brightness it gives for our eyes..

But too much of it is not good for us(when there is Light comes Heat as well)..specially in our kind of weather in Philippines, where in its daylight 12 hours and more than half of it the sun gives out strong and harsh rays of lights..which can lead to cataracts, glaucoma or worst cancer.(will be explain in future articles)

Its very advisable for us to wear sunglasses and any head gear that can hide our eyes, while outside under the sun(the more its darker the more its good against U.V.R.), and do not look directly at the sun with out any protection.

"Be careful overexposing your eyes from lights that comes from Computer's monitor, cellphones, televisions, portable game's gadgets and other appliances or gadgets which release light, this can greatly affect your eye sight efficiency .

Over used eyes

Every part of our body when over used can cause stressed or over fatigue..even our eyes, will make it work inefficiently, Which can affect our productivity...

that's why we are strongly advised to fully rest our eyes and not put it in a long hours of work.

As much as possible sleep with lights out or use sleeping eye masks and get enough hours of rest.(at least 8 hours )

We hope that this article somehow helps you understand on caring more about your eyesight..

And with us, We can continue seeing many FAB things that are making our life more wonderful and colorful!
