Bad Habits That Can Lead to Blindness

Bad Habits That Can Lead to Blindness

Normally, eye problems usually stem from genetics and bad habits. The latter can include;

Spending too Much on Your Digital Gadgets

Too much consumption of digital gadgets can harm your vision. The screens of these devices produce blue light that seriously strain your eyes and negatively affects your blinking rate. As a result, the tear production significantly reduces, leaving you with dry, tired eyes and blurry vision.

Going out of Your Sleep Routine

Going out of your sleep routine means you are less likely to get enough sleep. Being short on shuteye can cause red or blood-hot eyes. Nevertheless, it can trigger dark spots, eye twitches, make your eyes feel dry, and harm your vision.

Frequent Eye Rubbing

Eye strain can make you rub your eyes frequently to seek relief. Although this seems okay, it can be dangerous. Touching various surfaces throughout the day and not washing your hands properly can accumulate bacteria and dirt. When rubbing your eyes, these culprits enter your eyes, inflicting damage to your vision.

Using the acquired academic and professional experience, I advise patients with various complaints about mental health - depressed mood, nervousness, lack of energy and interest, sleep disorders, panic attacks, obsessive thoughts and anxieties, difficulty concentrating, and stress. In my free time, I love to paint and go on long walks on the beach. One of my latest obsessions is sudoku – a wonderful activity to calm an unease mind.
