What Is The Importance Of Celebrating World Sight Day

This day significance in making us realize how important Eye is and take proper care of our precious eyes. We still continue to take our vision (Eyes) for granted and only understand its importance when we struggle with our eyesight as it becomes less crisp over time, causing us to become dependent on others for our daily tasks.

There are various factors that can harm our vision. These factors include:

  1. Chronic diseases like diabetes that can harm the small blood vessels in the eyes leading to problems in the retina
  2. Trauma/accidental harm to eyes
  3. Age-related mascular degeneration (natural reduction in vision in advanced age)

So, while the time is still in your favour, act responsibly, love your eyes by taking necessary precautions regarding eye health.

Follow simple steps like protecting your eyes from the sun and dirt. Maintain cleanliness and follow safety precautions if you use artificial lenses. Get regular eye check-ups if you wear glasses to ensure that your numbers are correct.
