Posted by Vijayalakshmi On August - 12 - 20094 COMMENTS

Computer Eyeglass

Computer Eyeglass

Computers are part and parcel of everyone’s life. They are very informative and useful in all fields. When there is a benefit automatically there has to be some draw backs too!!

When the computers give useful and latest information it also provides unwanted and destructive and damaging information too!! This is an irreversible and very hard to accept fact. Apart from this computers have a very bad and negative impact on the health of the person using it. If used occasionally the negative effects may be minimal and negligible, but when used for long duration the effects can be harmful and damaging too!!

Among the computer user related sicknesses the most common is eye related problems. This is commonly known as Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS). Prolonged use of computer may give strain to the eyes and may affect the normal development of the vision both among adults and children.

The most common symptoms of CVS are:

1. Headaches

2. Tired eyes

3. Burning in the eyes

4. Watering of the eyes

5. Neck and shoulder pain

6. Loss of focus

7. Double vision

8. Blurred vision

The strain to the eyes while reading from a computer screen is much more than the strain that one feels while reading a text from a printed paper. Words on a computer screen are created by combinations of tiny points of light (pixels), which are brightest at the center and diminish in intensity toward their edges. This makes it more difficult for our eyes to maintain focus on these images. Therefore the strain is more. An eye specialist will detect this problem and give the corrective measures. This is very essential for those who work on computers for a long hours and whose profession demands such a task.

There are anti glare filters for the computer screens but they may give relief but may not reduce the visual problem. To get relief from visual problem, one will need computer eyewear. An anti-reflective coating is highly recommended for computer eyeglasses. AR coating reduces reflections on the front and back surfaces of the lenses that cause glare and interfere with your ability to focus on images on your screen.

Studies suggest that most computer users experience some level of eye discomfort from computer work, it is reasonable to say that most people who work on a computer more than a couple hours daily could benefit from computer eyewear. If you experience tired eyes, overall fatigue or discomfort when working at your computer, schedule a computer vision exam. Your eye doctor can help you decide if computer eyeglasses are right for you.

Research says that CVS affect productivity, accuracy and causes discomfort. With computer glasses you can read and work for a long time before you even get tired. Therefore another benefit of computer glasses is that it helps you work effectively, accurately and without discomfort and you are more productive. Computer glasses will give you more than just relief from headaches and tiredness. There is no better feeling like being alert and attentive even after 8 hours of working. After using these glasses you will realize that a simple thing as wearing glasses can do a lot for you.

No one can put an amount on the ability to see clearly. Actually seeing better is definitely priceless. One should realize that there is a big difference between computer glasses and reading glasses. This difference should not be ignored. Should one need glasses for reading and work on a computer on a daily basis, one should not substitute computer glasses for the reading glasses. This could cause long-term damage to the eyes.

Not every computer user needs computer eyeglasses, but most people who use the computer frequently throughout the day will stand the chance of experiencing negative symptoms. Computer eyeglasses can be beneficial in the long run by reducing excessive focusing demands on the eyes. They may also be useful in preventing or retarding development of any eye conditions that could result from computer usage.

Therefore it is advisable to give a thought to the use of computer glasses. But it is advisable that one should think of it only after consulting an eye specialist (Ophthalmologist).

coupleThey say when it comes to Love, Money cant stand a chance next to it. This fact is applicable and thoroughly accepted.

But, When it comes to decision on Marriage, Money plays a key role on the couple then their marriage a, latest study reports. Sounds cheeky yeah.

There is a critical policy that played a huge role until 1980 in America. That policy the current generation people not aware off which wants the couple to undergo Blood test to obtain them the marriage license.

Massage helps up Mother-baby bond

Massage helps up Mother-baby bond

I am sure many mothers love to massage their baby. Now a new research proves that massage has to do more than just to develop a baby’s muscles, it also allows the infant to feel and sense his or her mother’s affections via her fingers, says a leading expert.

Health experts have already acknowledged that breast-feeding enhances the bonding between mother and child and also helps the child to grow healthy.

Now, there is another way to simulate and promote a baby’s growth. The answer is by massaging the infant. The development of the infant’s muscles and orientation are crucial towards asisting the child to stand and walk.

Consultant paediatrician Dr Zulkifli Ismail says: “Caressing is a magical touch between a parent and the child. The infant can feel and sense the mother’s affections via her fingers and this works the other way round. The mother can also feel the infant’s response via the touches.”

Pregnant_womanPregnant Woman from Swine flu located areas “Be aware”. This is what the latest thing  swine flu has made the government officials do.

A Study conducted by US medicals finds out that, the swine flu hits the pregnant women 4 times harder than normal population. In other words, they  have a greater risk of adopting the flu than the other.

Now this findings has brought upon serious concern for the government. The reason for that is, the pregnant women who catch this H1N1 virus ends up in complicated case with no recovery from the virus. Which makes it a Must and Necessity to give the pregnant women the swine flu control Vaccine if developed quicker.

The Study that revealed the shocker was conducted on  34 pregnant ladies as mentioned in BBC News. Out of which 6 died reportedly.

Five of the other admitted women underwent caesarean deliveries. Four of the babies have now left hospital, and the fifth, born very prematurely, is doing well. Luckily,none of the babies showed any sign of swine flu infection.

Recession Vs Plastic Surgery

Plastic Surgery

Ya I know the title is odd. Both of them are irrelavent. But in times of recession and money crunch everything becomes relavent. I am sure by now all of you are gonna expect me to post something that tells plastic surgery is lossing popularity these days due to recession. Nope, thats not the case this time.

Plastic surgeries are still popular and the blood thirsty recession that has managed to have an imapact on every place on this planet, failed to make a change in plastic surgeries. While the recession continues, a poll of 1,000 women carried out this month showed that 63 percent aged 18-34 and 73% of women aged 35-49 thought positivelt of age-camouflaging procedures. Of the younger bracket in favour of cosmetic work, 44% said they consider Botox to be a “routine” precedure, according to a survey.

Looks like money crunch can’t stop looks-obsessed people from spending money on their looks.

Bypass Surgery can be a Killer

Bypass Surgery can be a Killer!

Bypass Surgery can be a Killer!

The popular bypass surgery that has been used on millions of patients worldwide to fix a vein blockage leading to the heart and thus saving millions of lives can actually be an killer. The doctors have so far used endoscope to remove leg veins for heart bypass surgery appears to actually damage veins and make the patients 52% more likely to die within the next three years.

Endoscope is the latest technique that are used by doctors to remove the vien from the the leg with much less pain and scar. Endoscope is a technique in which the doctors use guided cameras into the body and with the help of it remove the vein causing much less scar compared to the traditional method known as the “open harvesting”.

About 70% of bypass patients now have the leg vein removed endoscopically, in part because it produces much less scarring and infection to the leg.

Now doctors have reported that this technique can actually damage the veins and might be responsible for future heart attacks to the patients. The study of 3000 patients found veins removed by the endoscope the technique was significantly more likely to become clogged within a year or so.

At the 12 to 18 month mark, 47% of the patients had at least one of their bypass grafts fail, versus 38% for whom the blood vessels were removed by the older method. Most patients had two or three grafts. The older method does seems to be safe statistically, but its purly dependant on the patient. I don’t think it is right to call the Endoscope Bypass surgery a killer. It is a life safer. It just helps the doctors extend the life of the patient. But untimatelly every one has to die. So extending the life involves risk but it has to be done or else the patient will die  sooner.
