Eyes are the most precious
organs of the body. As some philosopher said, "they are the windows
to our soul". Unfortunately, they are the most neglected organs
of our body.
Care of eyes should begin early, from childhood, so that
they may remain healthy. An ophthalmic checkup at preschool stage is mandatory
to exclude any kind of refractive error, or any other problem that may
impair vision at a later stage. When diagnosed and treated properly at
this age, many diseases can be cured.
As the child starts going to school the burden on the
eyes gradually increases. One has to strain his eyes constantly to read,
write, watch TV, computer, etc. At this point it becomes very essential
to learn how to give rest to the eyes and relax them.
