Eye care tips for students during examinations

                     Authored by: Dr. Shibu Varkey, MS, DNB, DO, FRCS (UK) Regional Medical Director, MaxiVision Eye Hospitals

Examination season is again around the corner, students preparing for 10th, 12th, and various entrance exams are in a feverish pitch of activity. So, a few suggestions on how to take care of eyes during this period are certainly in order

1.      Sleep deficiency: A minimum of 7 hours of sleep is essential to maintain good health for the eyes as well as the whole body and mind, sleep deficiency leads to eye problems like recurrent styes (eye boils), which causes pain and swelling of the eyelid and results in loss of study time.

# plan and manage study time to get enough sleep

 

2.     Dietary deficiency: Students tend to skip meals or depend on fast foods, nutritional deficiencies tend to cause fatigue and loss of concentration and again affect the eyes with blepharitis, dry eyes, and eyelid infections # eat balanced healthy meals at regular intervals. Foods rich in vitamins A, D, E, B complex, minerals, and Omega 3 are essential for students preparing for exams.

 

3.      Dehydration: Due to the intensity of studies, some students forget to drink enough water and fluids, this results in dehydration and frequent headaches, inability to focus, and tired eyes.

 

# Drink at least 3 to 3.75 liters of fluids per day.

 

4.     Postural problems: Bad posture affects the neck, shoulders, lower back, and the eyes, especially in students who have poor eye muscle balance and astigmatism.

# study, preferably, in sitting posture with feet firmly on the ground arms and shoulders well supported and book at least 20 inches from the eye, the book kept at 60 degrees. Take short breaks to stretch.

 

5.     Duration of study: The stress on eye muscles when studying for 8 hours is equal to the stress on leg muscles from running 50 to 60 kms. So studying without rest for 10 to 12 hours causes intense pressure on eye muscles and has now been shown to be related to the development of myopia (glass power), spasm of eye muscles, eye strain, inability to focus the eyes, eye pain, and severe headaches.

# take short breaks every 30 minutes and look at far objects for 10 seconds to relax the eye muscles.

 

6.     Digital Eye Strain: Earlier known as Computer Vision Syndrome, is very common among students nowadays. Redness, irritation, foreign body sensation in the eye are leading symptoms. When computers or smartphones are used for long durations of time the tears in the eye gradually evaporate. Normally a person blinks about 20 times in a minute but during computer and mobile phone use, the blink rate decreases to once or twice in a minute.

 

This reduces the replenishment of the evaporated tears and causes dry eye syndrome.

Air conditioning also removes moisture from the skin and eyes and leads to dryness.

# Students who use computers and mobile phones must be careful to follow the 20 20 20 20 rule.

#Hold the device 20 inches from the eye.

#take a break of 20 seconds every 20 minutes

#look at any object 20 feet away.

#blink 20 times every minute

#Air conditioning should be frequently switched off and should never blow directly on to face.

With the requests pouring in from women for free Vaccination to their spouses and children MaxiVision extended this free COVID19 vaccination drive to all from 10th March 2022 onwards.

This drive has been taken up by MaxiVision as part of its CSR initiative in the light of the pandemic, with a view to accelerate vaccinations for the needy. Vaccination Drive will start on 10th March and continues until 31st March, 2022. This initiative is engineered in partnership with Neuberg Diagnostics and the drive will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on the above-mentioned dates and will be administering both 1st & 2nd doses of Covaxin to the attendees. 

Speaking on the occasion Mr.Sudheer, CEO, MaxiVision Eye Hospitals said, MaxiVision, though it is a single-specialty hospital, has always had a heart for charity. When the pandemic swept the city, our doctors and paramedics braved themselves and treated patients who were in need of emergency services. This time we are planning to dispense 50% of our vaccine stocks free of cost to the poor and needy. Though Telangana Government is well ahead in mass vaccination drives, this small attempt is to supplement the Government’s efforts in this part of the city. We have created a separate block with all paramedical support in our hospital at Somajiguda.
