The Cherished Sense of Sight
Those who have perfect vision might not know what they are blessed with but those who have deteriorated vision or have no eyesight at all know what they have lost that the others are enjoying.
Visual perception is the ability to intercept the surrounding environment using light in the visible spectrum reflected by the objects in the environment. Your eyesight lets you visualize objects clearly. Deteriorating eyesight makes it hard for one to perceive things clearly which can easily interfere with your daily routine.
Common reasons for deteriorating eyesight may be one of the following:
-
Strain: It is a common condition that occurs when your eyes get tired from intense use. Strain is common while driving long distances or staring at computer screens and other digital devices, being exposed to bright light or glare or straining to see in very dim light.
Strained eyes give a lot of discomfort. When it is occasional, it goes away once you rest your eyes or take some steps to reduce the irritation. Glare on your screen, poor posture, setup of your computer work station, circulating air such as from air conditioning can aggravate your condition. Chronic eye strain can gradually lead to deterioration in vision.
-
Diabetes: Overtime, diabetes can cause damage to your eyes that can lead to poor vision and even blindness. Diabetic eye diseases are a group of eye problems that can affect people with diabetes. These conditions include diabetic retinopathy, diabetic macular oedema, cataracts and glaucoma. Initially you may just develop blurry vision due to uncontrolled diabetes or persistent high blood sugar.
-
Age-related Vision loss: Increasing age brings changes that weaken your vision and eyes. Cataract and macular degeneration can develop due to increasing age.
-
Cataract: Clouding of the normally clear lens of the eyes leads to cataracts. Symptoms of cataract can include blurred vision, vision loss and night blindness.
-
Glaucoma: It comprises of a group of eye conditions that can lead to blindness. The symptoms can include blurred vision, vision loss and distorted vision.
-
Macular Degeneration: It is an eye disease that causes vision loss. It can lead to scotoma or an area of partial alteration in the field of vision. Other initial signs include unusually distorted or fuzzy vision.
- Eye infections: Eye infections can lead to blurry vision. The other symptoms of eye infections include red eye, pain, eye discharge and many more.
Caring for your Eyesight is Essential!
Loss or deterioration of eyesight can be prevented. As soon as you start experiencing little discomfort while looking at objects placed near or far from you, you should start pulling up your socks to maintain your vision. If you have healthy eyesight, do not wait for symptoms to appear. Be careful from the start.
Here are some easy tricks that can prevent deterioration or loss in eyesight:
-
Exercise Regularly!
People who engage in moderate to vigorous physical activity have been noted to have 73 percent lower risk of developing glaucoma which can be a possible cause of loss of eyesight. Exercise helps in improving the blood flow to eye and maintaining the pressure inside eye.
-
What you eat is how you see!
People who eat more leafy vegetables have a lesser risk of developing deterioration in vision. Nitrates in green leafy vegetables can be converted to nitric oxide which helps in improving blood flow to eyes. Carrots are high in vitamin A, a nutrient essential for maintaining vision. Therefore, consuming a balanced diet preferably made with local, seasonal food can help in delaying and limiting loss of vision.
-
Beware of excess of coffee!
Excessive consumption of caffeine can lead to blurry vision. More than 5 cups of coffee in a day also increase your risk of developing glaucoma. A tea, specifically a herbal curcumin tea such as Daily Boost Tea can be consumed instead. Antioxidants and flavonoids contained in this tea can prevent the body’s ability to prevent the harmful effects of free radical damage.
-
Restrict Smoking!
Smoking can lead to vision loss. Smoking increases the risk of age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and dry eye syndrome. Smoking can deteriorate blood supply to the eyes.
-
Chronic conditions should not be allowed to flourish!
Diabetes is not the only disease that can affect your vision. There are many other chronic conditions that can interfere with your eyesight. Such conditions include high blood pressure, multiple sclerosis. Since chronic inflammation occurs in these conditions, they can harm you from head to toe.
Inflammation of the optic nerve can cause pain and complete vision loss. Therefore, limiting the progression of chronic diseases is highly essential. Managing diabetes, high blood pressure and multiple sclerosis can prevent the loss of vision.
-
Use curcumin supplements with carrot, triphala and aloe vera!
Curcumin from the root of turmeric can prevent the progression of vision loss.
Curcumin also supports eye health with its antioxidant properties, reduces oxidative eye stress associated with dry eye and age-related eye health issues.
Carrot and aloe vera provide important nutrients for improving eye health. Triphala in Visiongold Juice has the properties of amla, harad, bibhitaki and prevents the progression of chronic diseases such as diabetes and their bad effects on eyes.

“Eat all your carrots and you will always have good eyesight.” This statement is no exaggeration. Carrots are rich in beta-carotene, one of carotenoids, which is an essential precursor for vitamin A. Carrot pulp in Visiongold Juice makes sure that your body is able to make ample amount of vitamin A and prevent its deficiency and diseases such as cataracts, macular degeneration, xerophthalmia i.e. a disease characterised by dry eyes, swollen eye lids and corneal ulcers. Lutein is an important antioxidant present in carrots and prevents and manages eye conditions like strabismus, astigmatism and glaucoma.
Aloe vera provides nutrients to improve eye health. The fatty acids and enzymes in aloe vera reduce inflammation and have moisturizing effects to reduce dryness of eyes. Anti-fungal properties also help in reducing the onset and progress of infections.
Triphala is itself a blend of amla, harad, bibhitaki and alleviates all the three doshas of the body i.e. kapha, vata and pitta. Content of vitamin C in triphala is also beneficial for eyes.
