Find out everything you need to know about the health of your eyes and how to preserve it.
Working in tandem with our brain, our eyes allow us to experience our environment in a way unrivalled by any other organ. And each of us experiences our environment in a very different and personal manner: everyone sees differently! What we see is not only determined by how well we can see, but also by what we actually want to see – our personal preferences, experience and memories all play a key role in what we perceive. We apparently receive around 80 percent of our impressions via our eyes.
But there's much more to it than that: our eyes are often said to be the window to our soul, and for good reason too. They also reflect how we are feeling – whether we are happy, sad, stressed or tired, for example. And this can even influence the quality of our vision. If we are stressed during an eye examination, the result will be different from that obtained when we are relaxed and in a good mood. And what we see during the daytime also accompanies us throughout the night. While we sleep, we process images that we saw when we were awake. Even embryos in the uterus can perceive light.
So it’s important for us to protect our eyes and take care of them any way we can. In other words, regular eye examinations are a must.
