Eyes ! The blessing of nature

Henry David Thoreav said "The Eye is the jewel of the body" Human eyes, among many other animals, may be not too sensitive to different regions of light. The human eye can only detect visible region of light.

But still these are very crucial for the survival of human beings. Our eyes view is 200 degrees including the front and side view. Eyes look around and send messages to the brain which in turn understands it and images are created. Any problem in this whole process causes critical damage which sometimes can't be handled.

My experience with eye problem

I once suffered from an eye disease. Inside my upper eyelid, an inept outgrowth started to form. It irritates my eyes a lot. It was cyst which apparently looked like a mass of tissues. Cause of this cyst formation was blockage of oil gland. The name of that gland is meibomain. This gland helps to keep eye moisture. When this is blocked due to some bacterial infection or some other reason, it retains its secretion inside it. It begins to swell in a slow process. My eye problem is commonly known as Chalazion.
With it's growth,it starts irritating. Usually it does not cause pain, but in my eye it starts pain after a week of appearance of that cyst.

Treatment to my eye problem

I try some home treatment like a gentle massage for this trouble. I also use wet cloth in warm water to gently press my eye to remove blockage of oil gland. But it did not work.

Then I went to an eye specialist. He drained out all the fluid that accumulated in my eye with a little cut. This was a very painful experience. Some little tissues still remain there. The doctor suggested some medicine and some massage to clear that remains.

Precautions to care of eyes

After this operation, I used to take a lot of care of my eyes. I make sure to adopt my hygiene, so no more bacteria may cause another damage. I cut off my screen time. I try to properly sit while reading.

Traditional treatment for eye cure

🌟Traditionally, in my region, "surma" is used. This comes in a black colored stone. It consists of Galena and red sulphate. In our homes, surma stones are crushed into fine powder. Then it is kept in "surmadani" a pot specifically designed to keep surma in it. Surma can be used as kajal.

🌟Another thing used for eye health protection is rose water. For eyes, rose water comes in diluted form.

Rose water is helpful in many eye problems. It reduces dark circles, helps in calming eye irritation and is effective for redness of eyes. This is a very good eye washing agent which can be used on regular basis for eye health maintenance. It is used to reduce the burning eye effect.

🌟Olive oil is used for eye protection traditionally in my village.

A recent research published in ***Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science*** which revealed that use of olive oil in the eyes may prevent us from possible blinding with ageing.

🌟Traditionally, Honey is also used for eye protection.

Honey has the ability to refresh eyes. It has a supper impact on tired eyes. This is moisture for dry eyes. Now research also depicts its unbelievable effect on eye protection.

In the end, I want to say that eyes can't be replaced by anything. Stay blessed and take care of your beautiful eyes. Finally, I would like to invite my friends @aimanmusafr @hudamalik20 and
