12 Common Misconceptions About Eye Health

Maintaining good vision throughout your entire life is possible if you make sure to take proper care of your eyes. This includes protecting them from damage, avoiding habits that harm your eyes, and staying healthy overall. Still, when it comes to the right way to maintain one’s eyesight, things can sometimes get confusing. For example, many people think that squinting or watching TV from a close distance is harmful, and also that rubbing your eyes and overwashing them is fine.

All four of those examples are common misconceptions about eye health - misconceptions that we will clarify in this article. So, if you want to educate yourself about eye health and 12 popular myths about eyes, continue reading.


1. Rubbing your eyes isn’t harmful as long as it doesn’t hurt
If you have the habit of rubbing your eyes when they get tired, or you rub your eyes a lot due to allergies and think it's fine as long as your eyes aren't particularly red or painful afterward, consider this:
Rubbing your eyes frequently can cause thinning of the cornea, which, in turn, may lead to a condition called keratoconus, a common cause of vision loss. The cornea in people suffering from this condition becomes distorted and bulges out in a cone-like shape, which is what causes early symptoms like blurry and double vision, light sensitivity, and nearsightedness.

2. Reading in dim light will affect your eyesight
Many people think that reading in a dimly lit room can worsen your vision, but there is no evidence of that. Doctors assure that the only symptom of reading under poor light conditions is eye fatigue. With age, we do tend to require more light in order to read because our retinas become weaker, but those are age-related changes and not something brought about by a darker than usual reading environment.


3. Carrots are the best food to eat for good eyesight
Beta carotene is the component in carrots that helps maintain good eyesight because it's converted into vitamin A in our body, which is crucial for eyesight. Interestingly, beta carotene is also the chemical that makes carrots orange. However, carrots are by far not the only vegetable that contains a lot of this very useful antioxidant: spinach, kale, red, orange, and yellow peppers, and even sweet potatoes also contain plenty of beta carotene.
What's more, any other food high in vitamin A, even animal-derived foods like cheese, milk, egg yolks, and liver will have the same benefits for your eyesight, too.

4. Rinsing eyes with water is the best way to relieve dry and itchy eyes
If you're suffering from dry and itchy eyes, be it due to allergies, eye strain, or any other reason, it's important not to resort to rinsing your eyes with water to soothe the uncomfortable symptoms. This is because tap water is full of bacteria and other potentially harmful microorganisms that are typically killed by your digestive juices when you ingest the water.
Unfortunately, your eyes aren't equipped to deal with these germs, so you're risking to introduce an eye infection by rinsing your eyes with lots of water all the time. Instead, doctors recommend artificial tears, which are eye drops specifically manufactured to lubricate dry eyes.


5. Reading a book from up close is easier on the eyes
Bringing a book, laptop, or smartphone closer to see better and read easier is a dire mistake. In fact, this kind of near work increases nearsightedness (myopia), especially in kids. Myopia, in turn, is a known risk factor for many other eye conditions, such as retinal detachment, glaucoma, and cataracts. So, instead of bringing that book or device closer, do the opposite and keep them as far away from your eyes as possible.


6. Putting on eye makeup is safe for your eyes
Eye makeup, such as mascara, eyeliner, and eyeshadow are all manufactured with eye safety in mind, but even the best makeup product should be washed off at the end of the day. The main issue with eye makeup is that, no matter how much you try, it's bound to get into your eyes eventually.
Sometimes, makeup residue can build up in your eyes and clog up the meibomian glands in your eyes, which are tiny oil glands that moisturize the eye and present redness and dryness. So, always wash off your eye makeup as soon as possible and have eye makeup free days from time to time.


7. Laser surgery can get rid of all eye problems
Laser eye surgery is a very popular and effective way to correct one's eyesight, but few people don't know that not everyone is eligible for this procedure. Lasik surgery can correct conditions like myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism, but patients suffering from keratoconus, cataract, glaucoma, and macular degeneration aren't suitable for the surgery.


8. Any dark glasses will protect eyesight from UV damage
UV exposure is just as dangerous, if not more, to your eyes than it is to your skin. The Sun's rays affect the macula, the cornea, and the lens, and sun damage can result in:
    Macular degeneration, one of the leading causes of vision loss
    Cataract
    Pterygium, a growth on the eye that may block vision
    Skin cancer around the eyes
    Photokeratitis, a painful corneal sunburn that causes temporary vision loss.
Contrary to popular belief, not all sunglasses with dark lenses can protect you from UV damage, as it is a special coating that shields your eyes from damage, and not the darkened lenses per se. Even many clear glasses contain a UV filter, while many sunglasses don't. The safest way to protect your eyes is to purchase certified UV glasses, as they are clinically tested and will surely work. 


9. Eye exams are not necessary if you have no complaints
Vision loss is by far not the only diagnosable condition your eye doctor is trained to spot. During a comprehensive eye exam, a doctor will check your overall eye health. As it is with most conditions, early diagnosis is often the key to fast recovery. Apart from that, eyes are sometimes the first organ to show signs of serious health conditions, such as hypertension and diabetes. So, it's best to sign up for a yearly check. 


10. Wearing glasses or contacts with the wrong prescription is not a big deal
Have you ever worn another person's eyeglasses and, all of a sudden, your head started to ache or you started to feel dizzy? Well, guess what? The same feelings, although maybe less intense ones, can happen if you wear the wrong glasses or contact lenses. The main symptoms of wearing the wrong prescription glasses or contacts are increased eye strain, headaches, dizziness, and nausea.


11. Frequent squinting affects your vision
Now, this one is just not true. While frequent squinting to see better can be a symptom of farsightedness or other eye condition, the habit itself doesn't affect your vision in any way. In fact, the worst thing squinting could possibly give you is crow's feet - those small wrinkles around your eyes.


12. Watching TV from up close hurts your vision
Watching a lot of TV, even from up close, is not considered harmful for your eyesight and cannot cause permanent eye damage. Like computer work, prolonged TV screen time can dry out your cornea if you forget to blink and causes eye strain, so get in the habit of taking short breaks from time to time when you're looking at any kind of screen.

The Surprising Health Benefits of Goji berries

There’s a good chance you’ve seen the Goji advertised in health food stores as a miracle fruit, but what IS the Goji and what is it good for?
image.png

The Goji (AKA “Goji Berry” or “Wolfberry”) comes from Asia and is highly prized by eastern medicine practitioners, and recently – by the rest of the world. Goji berries can be bought frozen or dehydrated, and scientists are generally in consensus about their many health benefits. In this article, you’ll find just a few of the many blessings this wonder-berry brings with it, some information you should know before adding it to your diet, and even a great recipe for a refreshing and healthy shake.


The health benefits of the Goji:

The Goji is considered a ‘superfood’ thanks to the many nutrients it contains, including some very unique ones that are almost impossible to find in other foods.
1. Eyesight improvement:

Age-related Macular Degeneration prevention.

Goji berries contain an abundance of zeaxanthin, an antioxidant that is necessary for ocular health, especially in seniors. The antioxidants in Goji are absorbed quickly and efficiently into the bloodstream and prevent cellular degeneration throughout the body, and in the corneas in particular. Chinese researchers tested the effects of consuming 14 grams of Goji per day in people over the age of 65, and discovered that their eyesight was significantly improved, while their chances of suffering from age-related ocular problems decreased considerably.


2. A rich source of nutrients:

In addition to all the antioxidants, the Goji also contains hefty amounts of essential nutrients. Aside from proteins, various vitamins, iron, trace elements (essential minerals) and dietary fibers, Goji’s uniqueness comes from the plethora of amino acids it contains. Each berry contains 19 different amino acids, and 8 of those are essential amino acids that the body cannot create itself.


3. UV protection:

If you’re fair-skinned and easily get burned, Goji berries might be one of the best fruits you can eat. It contains vitamins and antioxidants that keep your skin healthy and radiant. Drinking Goji juice will reduce the acute effects of solar radiation. Please note that this is not a replacement for sunscreen, just an added layer of protection.


4. Boosts the immune system:

The many amino acids and minerals in Goji berries are highly beneficial to the immune system. They increase the production of white blood cells while protecting the liver, kidneys and other organs that deal with toxin removal and blood filtration. This superfood won’t only help prevent you from contracting colds or the flu, many people report that consuming it has stopped chronic issues they had, such as headaches, joint pains and ringing ears.

5. A solution for chronic lethargy:

The Goji’s many nutrients and antioxidants give our system an immune boost and provide it with much-needed minerals. This allows the body to relax instead of dealing with potential infections or trying to acquire minerals it can’t produce. People who suffer from chronic lethargy will see the most benefit from this change in their life and will experience an improvement in their quality of sleep as well as a boost in their energy levels during the day. For these reasons, Goji berries are some of the best natural treatments for people suffering from fibromyalgia and chronic lethargy.


6. Anti-carcinogenic:

While there’s no conclusive proof that Goji berries actively fight cancer, the immunity boost helps cancer patients fight the disease. Recent research tested the effects of the essence of Goji on cancerous liver-cells, showed a near-complete halt in cancerous-cells growth. For these two reasons alone, one should consider a daily intake of this superfood, especially if you’re genetically prone to cancer (Be sure to consult your doctor first).


7. Reduces glucose levels in the blood:

A study from 2004 shows that Goji berries effectively reduce the glucose and fat levels of diabetics. Goji also helped people suffering from high levels of triglycerides and cholesterol.  The control group received a boiled essence of Goji, which contains the same levels of vitamins, antioxidants and amino acids as in the natural form, and showed significantly less impressive results.


8. Anti-aging qualities:

Last, but definitely not least, one of the Goji’s most incredible and unique properties which makes it a true miracle-fruit. As we age, our body produces fewer growth-hormones (HGH). Goji berries are the ONLY food known to stimulate the pituitary gland and make it produce more HGH, even in people of advanced ages. This amazing process occurs thanks to the unique combination of the amino acids glutamine and arginine, which effectively slows down the aging process.


Vital information about consumption of Goji

While Goji berries can do wonders for our body, too much of anything is still bad for you, so it is important not to consume too much of it every day. In addition, some of the fruit’s influences may not mix well with some prescription drugs.

Interaction with prescription drugs:

People taking blood-pressure medication like warfarin or people taking insulin or other medication meant to lower glucose levels should avoid Goji. The main reason is that Goji berries perform similar actions to these drugs, which leads to more harm than good. If you are regularly taking these drugs or others that perform a similar function, consult with your doctor before adding Goji to your diet.

Digestive sensitivity:

As Goji became popular, drug companies started marketing supplements based on Goji. Many people who tried these supplements reported side-effects that include a sensitive stomach and nausea. It’s recommended that you be careful when taking such supplements before and after eating and to generally prefer natural berries.

How to Protect Your Eye-sight

Only those who are blind will know the true value of eye-sight. Luckily, most of us can see and at times we're careless in not taking proper care of our eyes, which are true windows to our world.

1. Protect your eyes from the sun
The skin that surrounds your eyes is very thin and susceptible to ultraviolet radiation. Different types of skin cancer, such as carcinoma and melanoma, are able to form in your eyelids and around your eyes, which can cause a lot of damage to the eye structure.
Your sunglasses are also important, and you should buy a pair that gives you 100% protection from both UVA and UVB rays since they are both able to stimulate issues that cause macular degeneration and cataracts, both common causes of blindness.
2. What you eat matters
Eating well is the best way to ensure proper eye care, says an ophthalmologist. She also says that you should try to get most of your nutrients from food.
Green leafy vegetables provide your body with the nutrients zeaxanthin and lutein, both of which have been shown to decrease the risk of eye diseases. The vitamin A that orange and yellow vegetables contain also boost eye health, while certain fruits, such as mangoes, oranges, and strawberries provide your eyes with a healthy dose of vitamin C and other antioxidants.

3. Comprehensive eye exams detect vision problems early
Getting your eyes tested regularly is the best way to catch a range of eye issues, like glaucoma or diabetic eye disease. Most people with ocular issues, or those over 65, should see their eye doctor at least once a year to ensure that their sight hasn’t changed at all. People between 40 and 55 should take an eye exam every 2 to 4 years, while those between 55 and 65 should take one every 1 to 3 years.
4. Smoking now can cause eye issues later
“Get off tobacco in any form,” the Dr. says. Smoking causes cyanide to enter into your bloodstream, which is known to kill the eye’s cells. Smoking puts you at an increased risk of cataract development and will make your eyes dry out. What's more, it also increases your risk of developing macular degeneration, which is an incurable condition that harms center eye vision, according to the experts.
5. Working on a computer all day could give you dry eyes
According to another expert, one of the most common symptoms of dry eyes is an eye that waters. This is due to the deterioration of the oily and mucous layers, which prevents the evaporation of tears, thereby causing the eye to compensate by producing more water. Dry eyes might also be caused by certain medications, such as antidepressants, inflammation, or even hormonal changes.
To treat dry eyes, try the 20-20-20 rule, which is recommended by the doctors - Every 20 minutes, spend 20 seconds looking at something that's at least 20 feet away. A warm compress could also help, as can artificial tears that help deal with tired eyes.
6. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness inmost countries
Preventing diabetes is the most effective way to avoid diabetic retinopathy, which has been found to be the most common cause of blindness. In fact, 60% of patients with Type 2 diabetes will end up developing it, while almost all people with Type I diabetes end up developing it.
Even though no symptoms appear during its early stages, it is very important to catch retinopathy as early as can be. With time, your vision may blur and you could even end up completely blind. Controlling blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure can prevent it from getting worse. This condition can be treated through laser surgery, which can lessen the chances of further blindness.
7. After 60, macular degeneration is a major cause of blindness
Macular degeneration takes place when eye tissue begins to degenerate, leading to blurriness or loss of vision in the center of the eye. There are two distinct types of macular degeneration: dry and wet. If vision loss is caused by retinal fluid, then eye injections can treat it.
Unfortunately, most cases are dry, for which no treatment is available. Risk factors for macular degeneration include smoking, a family history of the condition, lutein and zeaxanthin deficiencies, and not wearing sunglasses.
8. Cataracts are common but highly treatable
Cataracts are a typical part of aging and usually appear around the age of sixty. Typical signs of a cataract include seeing faded colors, blurred vision, glare, double vision, and reduced night vision. Cataracts are linked to exposure to UV radiation or certain types of radiation therapy, such as the ones used in cancer treatment. Certain drugs such as prednisone may also increase the risk of cataract development. Luckily, cataracts are often very easy to cure.
9. Damage to the optic nerve causes glaucoma
Glaucoma is renowned for being secretive and insidious, and the only way to detect it is through an eye test. It occurs when pressure builds up and starts to harm the optic nerve. The condition progresses very slowly, the Dr. says, and it can take years for the nerve damage to become severe enough to cause vision problems.
The risk is higher for diabetics or those with a family history. In most cases, treatment includes a daily eye drop to reduce eye pressure. If the drops fail to provide any tangible improvement, then surgery may be the only choice left.
10. Your eyes tell a lot about your health
Your eyes actually act as an indicator of your overall health condition. Dry eyes can be symptomatic of lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, or even thyroid disease. Blurred vision could be indicative of diabetes or a tumor, and itchy eyes may be caused by an allergic reaction to contact lenses.
