Refined Salt: It is impossible not to have deteriorating vision with daily intake of refined salt in home cooking and in many other snacks and processed foods and drinks that dominate the menu list of modern man. Refined salt weakens the heart, cripples blood circulation and causes acidic pH that ignites systemic degeneration that harms the eyesight. Lack of minerals in refined table salt coupled with its toxic additives also inhibits thyroid function and causes poor conversion of T4 to T3 with dire consequence on the health and functions of the brain and the eyes. Milk: Cow milk is one of the high acid-forming foods and drinks that damage the brain and the eyes. Cow milk also depletes key nutrients including B vitamins, iron and iodine in the body. Of course, when people -young and old- have been wrongly indoctrinated that milk is part of healthy diet, why wont there be rising cases of eye diseases and blindness? Ironically, the medical establishment agrees that most cases of blindness are caused by preventable eye diseases. In fact, former president Olusegun Obasanjo was recently quoted in the newspaper report that the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, told him that 90 per cent of blindness cases are preventable.

Could Google Glass Hurt Your Eyes? A Harvard Vision Scientist And Project Glass Advisor Responds
Image credit: AFP/Getty Images via @daylife) Computer eyestrain is a common problem affecting between 64 percent to 90 percent of office workers. Its caused by spending too much time staring at a computer monitor and is aggravated by factors like poor lighting, poor posture and incorrect prescriptions. Dubbed computer vision syndrome, or CVS , symptoms include redness, burning, irritation and blurred vision. If merely looking in front of you at a regular-sized computer monitor can cause discomfort, what about repeatedly glancing up at a tiny display? Sina Fateh, an ophthalmologist and entrepreneur who has filed at least thirty patents related to heads-up displays, says there is reason to be concerned. In the same way that we can get fatigue in our hands, we can get fatigue in our eyes, Fateh said. In addition to fatigue, Fateh said products like Google Glass also carry a risk of visual confusion.

Foam Party Causes Corneal Abrasion And Vision Problems
If you do go to one of these parties, do not rub your eyes, or you could end up with abrasions on your cornea and lack the ability to open your eyes. A recent foam party in Naples, Florida, resulted in a whopping 56 people checking into the emergency room with eye issues. Some couldn’t open their eyes, some were unable to see properly, some were in extreme pain and discomfort. All had attended the party and reported rubbing their eyes at some point. The actual content of the foam at foam parties varies; the classic, popularized in Ibiza in the early ’90s, was basically soap, aerated through huge fans on the ceiling.
