The eyes is said to be the window of the soul. You will know the type of person you are dealing with by just looking at them straight in the eyes which is why we should learn how to take care of them. Remember there are no spare parts for the human eye.
Some elders say that the blind are lucky that they are unable to see the bad things that is going on around them. Maybe they are right but maybe not. There is nothing lucky about being blind because they can still sense what's going on around them. They may not witness the crimes, corruption, and the evilness of the world but they can feel. Their sixth sense is much stronger that a normal person with a 20-20 vision. I know, because I have an uncle who lost his eyesight to cataract a few months after his retirement and he was only 61 years old back then. According to the doctor even if he undergoes a surgical procedure, it will only cost the family but he can never regain his vision. He is technically blind. He may not see us. He may not see his loving wife and children and grandchildren but he knows when we are having a problem. He even knows when you are crying or not. He also knows when there is misunderstanding among us even though we never let him hear us argue. He would often tell us he only lost his eyes but not his heart and he would give us his words of wisdom. He also keeps telling us to take care of our eyes because it is something he failed to do. Well, we don't need more encouragements. I don't need another encouragement to see my EENT(Eyes, Ears, Nose and Throad) Specialist.
According to my EENT and for sure you also know this, to avoid reading in a dim light or make sure that there is enough lighting in the room because this will cause eye strain. Make sure that you change the light bulbs in ceiling lights, lamps and other lighting fixtures regularly. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables which are rich in Vitamin A. It is also advisable to eat fish high in omega-3 fatty acids such as tuna and halibut. Wear sunglasses on bright days since too much light can also hurt the eyes. Exercise your eyes.
