You all know that Delhi is a famous city. But what you don’t know is that Delhi has been made even more famous by MSians. Now you would ask me how MSians can make Delhi famous. Okay, I will tell you. The Delhi based MSians just can’t stop talking about their eyes. Believe me it is true, it looks like Delhiites have the most beautiful eyes in the world.
Everytime they meet, they talk about nothing but their eyes. Oh! I almost forgot, a Chennaiite also features in this list. So a particular scientist has twinkling Gemini eyes while a geek has mischievous brown eyes. The Chennaiite’s eyes are understanding, chocolate brown and another scientist and fellow Piscean shares the same shade with the geek. A famous star writer’s eyes are described as beautiful as a stormy sea while another star writer has kind but sharp eyes. And of course our very own soldier is famous for his hazel eyes.
So much for eye adjectives! For those of you who are clueless about what I was talking about above, these are some smart observations of Delhi based MSians about each other. Who they are is not of concern because this review is about eyes, not only theirs but also everybody else’s too. Now you will wonder how you can have such beautiful eyes as Delhiites so that people can’t stop talking about them. Simple! Very Simple! Just follow some basic tips about eye care and you’ll be in safe waters forever. Here go some of them –
1. Blink Blink Blink Blink Blink and Blink a few more thousand times!
This advice is for geeks like me who stare at the computer monitor 10-12 hours a day. Yeah believe me I know the pain you all go through staring at that crappy monitor. Blink as much as you can and then once in a while close your eyes for a few seconds. It gives respite to your eyes from the glare of the monitor.
2. Get a LCD screen monitor.
These monitors cost double the value of a traditional CRT screen monitor but are much better. They don’t emit such glares that are emitted by the CRT monitors. Trust me, no matter how good an anti-glare screen you put in front of your monitor, it still emits harmful glare. It is better to invest in a LCD monitor than to lose your eye.
3. A simple eye exercise for geeks.
Geeks can prevent eye-sight deterioration by doing a simple exercise. After looking at the monitor for 20-30 minutes, look at the opposite end of the room. Better still, fix your desktop near a window and look out every few minutes. It helps relax your eye muscles and reduces the reddening effect of the monitor’s glare.
4. Wash your eyes with cold water
Putting an ice pack may or may not be a bright idea and you should do it with the advice of your doctor but it is actually a good idea to put cold water splashes on your eyes. It keeps them fresh.
5. For those who want to wear contact lenses
Don’t wear contact lenses if your eyes reject them. It is not necessary that all contact lenses will fit well in your eyes. Read this review for more about it - https://mouthshut.com/review/Wearing_Contact_Lens-77642-1.html
6. Thinking about Laser surgery?
Now first of all bear in mind that all surgeries are major health issues and when it comes to eyes, it becomes equally more delicate. Some people go for laser surgeries for cosmetic reasons but it is not advisable unless the doctor recommends it. So don’t think about it before consulting your eye doctor.
7. Don’t rub your eyes
Few of us bother to wash our hands often and if we rub our eyes with dirty hands and fingers, it is a clear invitation to infections. Yeah I know it is hard to get out of the habit, but at least give it a try. Instead use disposable tissue paper or handkerchiefs to wipe your eyes.
8. Aerosols
Those deodorants that you guys use. Those perfumes that you girls use. Don’t use them near your eyes. And if you don’t want to follow my advice, try using them near your eyes. You will thank me for warning you!
9. Let the tears flow
So you stressed your eyes in front of the monitor and they have started watering. Big deal? No deal at all! That’s because tears act as lubricants and wash away other dust particles from the eyes.
10. Eat and drink healthy
Eat vegetables and fruits containing Vitamin A, like carrots, green leafy vegetables. Also drink lots of water. You will soon find that it has a bearing not only on your eyes but also on your overall health.
11. The best advice of all
Sleep! Get proper sleep. It will not only give adequate amount of rest to your eyes but will also keep them fresh and beautiful for the next day.
Next time you meet any Delhiite, you will know the reasons for his/her beautiful eyes. Thanks to these simple tips, people can keep their eyes healthy forever. You can do it, should do it and then visit us in Delhi. We will then talk about our eyes as much as we always do.
So what colour are your eyes?
