Here Is How Getting Your Eyes Tested Can Save Your Life!
Did you know that your eyes can help diagnose cancer, heart ailments, etc?
They say that your eyes are the windows to your soul; well, although that statement holds true in a philosophical context, when it comes to health, we would never imagine that our eyes can give us a heads-up about impending diseases, right?
However, we can all agree on one point, the eyes are one of the most important organs of the body, for any living being, as they enable vision!
Without vision, we would definitely not be able to lead a normal life, as vision is one of the sensory powers which is very much essential.
Imagine a life without vision, apart from the fact that we would be unable to look at the world and everything it has to offer, we would also be dependent on other people to help us lead a normal life, at least to some extent.
So, we must do everything we can to keep our eyes healthy and safe, just like we make an effort to care for the vital organs of the body.
Now, most people these days lead fairly unhealthy lifestyles, with jobs that require us to work on electronic gadgets like the computers, phones, etc., all day.
Even if our jobs do not entail excess gadget use, they have become an inseparable part of our lives.
As we may know, excess use of visual electronic gadgets and a few other things like pollution, poor diet, etc., can make our eyes weaker.
So, it is very important to get our eyes tested on a regular basis to make sure our vision is right and there are no ailments.
Now, getting your eye tested can also help detect major diseases like cancer, heart ailments and more, according to a new research study!
Find out how, below!
1. Diabetes
In routine eye tests, a small amount of bleeding in the retina, caused by a burst vein can indicate the presence of diabetes in a person; this silent symptom can help diagnose the diseases quicker!
2. Brain Tumour
Brain tumour is one of the deadliest types of cancers and it is very common. When you are getting your eyes checked, the abnormal changes in vision, the colour of the optic nerve, pupil dilation, etc., can help diagnose the presence of brain tumour.
3. Heart Disease
Heart diseases are extremely common among older people these days and the most apparent causes for heart ailments are high cholesterol and hypertension. When the eye specialist notices a white ring around the cornea, it could be an indication of high cholesterol or high BP, which may later result in heart diseases.
4. Multiple Sclerosis
Multiple sclerosis is a dangerous disease in which the immune system destroys the protective layer of the nerve tissues, causing serious organ damage. Getting your eye tested can help determine the presence of multiple sclerosis, as the optic nerve is usually swollen in people with this deadly disease.
