Be Careful of Cosmetics

Whenever and wherever it is, people all want to show their best side to others. Therefore, women begin to love cosmetics. Nowadays, some men think it is necessary to go to the beautician’s. From this, we can see the love for beauty develops the love for cosmetics. Women like to draw their eyebrow and eyeliner, and spread lipstick, in which they believe it could add more charm. Nevertheless, they do not realize that danger is a faithful company of cosmetics. According to doctors’ mention, more and more people get eye diseases because of cosmetics. Thus, it is necessary to be careful about make-up. Do not sacrifice your health for temporary beauty.

Be Careful of Cosmetics

Eye experts give us more information. Now a great number of girls or women are fond of drawing eyeliner and brush their eyelash with mascara for the purpose of enlightening their eyes. However, when they choose cosmetics, they have not pay attention to the quality. As we all know, cosmetics in poor quality is extraordinarily harmful to the health. They may contain heavy metal, such as lead; moreover, they may also bring about the infection of bacteria. All in all, it forces the risk of getting eye diseases to be rather high. Among these eye diseases caused by cosmetics, keratomycosis, corneal burn, and conjunctivitis are three most popular ones. In some beauty salons, the methods of doing eye make-up are various, of which the Eyelash Perming and the Eyelash Grafting should be favored by a lot of consumers. Concerning this, many eye physicians warn those consumers that the perm lotion and feature glue all belong to special cosmetics; if the perm lotion splashes into the eyes out of carelessness when you use it, the cornea will be burnt in the slight case, and it will cause the contract of eyeballs or corneal opacity and even bring about other diseases such as cataract if the situation is serious. In addition to this, you also need to be careful when you apply the eye shadows. Any particulate coming into the eyes would cause the red and swollen eyes with pains and eye irritation.

Therefore, eye experts suggest every one who loves beauty that when they try to beautify their eyes, they should take the following two points into consideration. First of all, they should pick up the eye cosmetics with good quality, especially produced from good brands; secondly, prevent the cosmetics from second-time contamination—rub the brushes and pens of eyeliner with alcohol cotton ball regularly so as to sterilize them.

As a matter of fact, apart from cosmetics, there are other ways to beautify the eyes. For instance, you can wear a pair of eyeglasses with frames but without lenses, which not only makes your eye part more attractive but also moderates your facial shape. Many friends of mine like to do so, and they have dozens of eyeglasses in different styles. Do not be afraid of money. They brought from an online shop– glassesshop.com. After they told me, I also like this idea and buy some pairs of eyeglasses. It is popular to wear glasses without lenses.

The Present for 2009 Christmas

I am a senior college student, my name is Jack. I have a girlfriend,sofia, who is in the same school with me. We have been in love with each other for more than two years. But after the initial excitement and honey of love, there is now only a touch of insipidity. I just obviously feel the longer and longer distance between her and me, she doesn’t have so many things to tell me any longer, and she doesn’t need me as more as before. Because I am busy with job-hunting and can’t draw enough time to accompany with her? I don’t know exactly.

The Present for 2009 Christmas

In the past, we have been very romantic: we have run on the playground, told stories in the sunset and kissed in the woods. That period of time, which I cherish so much, is really pleasant. But what’s wrong with our love, why she doesn’t have any passion? Is she tired of me after being with me for a long time? But I love her all the time and I do not want our love to disappear and die. I must save my love.

Now it is in the winter. I can remember during last winter we walked in the snow, it is very cold, but we both felt warm from heart. It was just Christmas. Christmas, a beautiful holiday. Why not give her a wonderful Christmas gift which can remind her of the previous passion and love? Like most girls, Lily likes beautiful pieces of jewelry,fashionable sunglasses.

In the Market I carefully selected a red sunglasses from so many beautiful products. It is a little expensive, but I bought it at once with the money I have saved for a long time. The eyeglass frames are  so beautiful, with the Christmas color. It is well known that style is the coming 2010 trends, but I hope when Lily wears it and put it in the place where it is nearest her beautiful eyes, it can open Lily’s heart, too. I hope that she can know how much I love her and how much I want to satisfy her. She will be the one and the only in my heart.

I place my hope on this red eyeglasses, I am sure that Lily will be very happy when receiving this surprise, but I hope it can enable her to know my heart will be with her forever. I’m expecting the arrival of next Christmas.

Six Common Errors in Eye Protection

No one dares to doubt the importance of our eyes, thus, all sorts of eye protection measures appear. But which one fits us? Which one is right? That is the problem. Now, the following tips will help drive your doubts away.

Six Common Errors in Eye Protection

Error 1: Does watch TV in a short distance or read in dim room would damage our eyes? The answer is “yes”. Reading in dim places or keeping too close to the TV set will easily make our eyes dry. So when read in a close distance, we should maintain 60-100 watts bulb brightness. As we read books and surf the internet, we should avoid the dazzling desk lamp shining our eyes directly, and maintain soft lightning.

In addition, we should remove our eyes every 10 minutes from the computer screen to other distant places.

Error 2: When we feel eye fatigue, just have a good rest, and then everything will be OK. The conclusion is that it is wrong. Just sleeping can not relieve eye fatigue. In order to relax our eyes, the correct way is to gaze at a distant place or look up and down, or move the eyeballs from left to right. Some people may think rely on watching a distant place can help alleviate eye fatigue, actually, that is not enough. The basic rule is to shorten the time you look at close articles, not make the distance of your eyesight long.

Error 3: Nearsighted people are not easy to catch presbyopia when they grow old, so it is nothing for young people to get nearsighted? This kind of thoughts is incorrect. The elderly can not avoid presbyopia whether they get myopia or not. Nearsighted people just can offset part of presbyopia degree.

Question 4: Myopia degrees below 300° belongs to pseudo myopia, there is no need to correct the bad eyesight. That is also wrong. The reason is that pseudo myopia is caused by using eye balls excessively, but after a good rest, eyesight will recover. However, true myopia means eyes axis grows long abnormally. Although myopia degree is below 300°, we must correct the eyesight as well.

Error 5: Whether wearing framed glasses or contact lenses will weaken the eyesight. Some people insist not wearing eyeglasses with the faith “once put on the prescription glasses, you will never take them off”. That is badly wrong. Generally speaking, wearing the proper degree lenses after a check by ophthalmologists will seldom deepen the myopia degrees.

Error 6: Whether sleep in lamp light is likely to cause children’s nearsightedness? American experts think leaving a little lamp on for the sleeping children can help them practice coordinating their eye.

Knowledge on Wearing Glasses for the First Time

In recent years, nearsightedness has become commonplace, yet a more and more serious problem among us. People, particularly many young people, will have the experience of putting on the eyeglasses for the first time. Beyond not being used to wearing glasses, I bet you’re sure to meet with much confusion about eyeglasses. If you have the same trouble, here I would like to share with you some knowledge on it in order to save you from the same bewilderment.

A preparing period is needed for you to adjust yourself to the eyeglasses when you first wear glasses. It is quite normal if you feel dizzy or see things magnify shrink or brighter. It takes one two weeks to overcome the above uncomfortable symptoms. If you still don’t feel well after two weeks or more, you can try the after-sale service to reexamine your eyesight.

Lens with multi-membranes and resin lens should not be directly wept with a cloth when the lens is dirty as it would cause scratches on the surface of the lens. The appropriate way is to clean the lens with clean water or some detergent. After rinsing them with running water, dry them softly.

If you change your glasses into new ones of the same diopters, you’ll also need another preparing period to adjust to the differences in seeing things caused by the differences in the shape of the frame or the radian measure on the surface of the frame for spectacles.

When you see things with the rim of the ultra-thin lens, there will also appear the rainbow phenomenon. The stronger your eyeglasses are, the more obvious the phenomenon is. However, don’t be worried about it. It is a normal thing after all.

As for those who wear frameless eyeglasses, you should protect your lens from pressure, keep them in the box when you don’t need them and put them on with both of your hands otherwise since the lens are connected with only four screws.

I would like to end this essay with a suggestion for the old people who wear reading glasses: Reading glasses should be used only when there is a need to read. You mustn’t use them when walking.

As the saying goes, a good beginning is half done. Getting more knowledge about wearing eyeglasses will never be a waste of time; instead, it will save you from much bewilderment. Therefore, take action from now on and gain more fun along the way.

How to Give Birth to Baby with Bright & Healthy eyes

Glassesshop.com-Pay attention to baby's eyes

Rubella vaccine should be injected in advance.

If mother-to-be infects with rubella virus in the early time, it is greatly possible to influence the development of the baby’s eyes directly although there may be no great harm to the mother herself. If possible and unlucky, it will lead to the happening of congenital cataract. Therefore, it is a very effective way to prevent the baby from having congenital cataract by injecting rubella vaccine before the pregnancy.

Prenatal education is of great importance.

Appropriate outdoor activities to enjoy the sunshine will be helpful to the absorption of calcium. Suitable amount of sun exposure is also good to the development of the baby’s visual cells and cornea. This is called the Light Prenatal Education.

Pay attention to take in sufficient vitamins.

Vitamin A: it is known to us that vitamin A has great important function of helping the development of the body’s cells and the growth of the eyes. When the body is short of vitamin A, the ability for the eyes seeing things at night will decline. If this bad situation continues, it may develop into the dry eyes—you will feel it is rather dry in the eyes and the cornea becomes thick. Food rich in vitamin A could be livers of different animals, carrot, leak, spinach, egg yellow, and so on. It is suggested by doctors that these mother-to-be should take in about 5000 international units per day.

Vitamin B1: this vitamin has the determinative effect on the growth and development of the baby’s brain and helps to perfect the nervous system of the baby’s eyes. Vitamin B1 could be largely found in the food such as wheat, fish, meat, and so on. Mother-to-be should take in about 1.5 mg per day.

Vitamin B2: generally speaking, there are two types of vitamin B2—riboflavin and nicotinic acid. Riboflavin could guarantee the normal metabolism of the retina and cornea; and lack of nicotinic acid will bring about optic neuritis and retinitis. Many foods have great amount of vitamin B2, such as milk, lean meat, lentils, and other green vegetables. Mother-to-be should need about 1.5 mg a day.

Vitamin C: it could improve the resistance ability and help the growth of corneal epithelium and the repair of the mucosal tissue so as to prevent the happening of cataract. Fresh fruit and vegetable is the best food resource of vitamin C. The amount that mother-to-be should have is about 100 mg per day.

If mothers-to-be could pay more attention during the whole process and develop good habits in their daily life, the born baby would be pretty healthy and beautiful, especially with a pair of bright and healthy eyes.

Why Save the Usage of Eyes

Summer is the season of the highest temperature in a year, so the metabolism in human body is very active. Generally speaking, many people are so easy to be influenced by the high temperature in summer that their physiological functions and appetite tend to change. So in this hot summer day, how to adjust our body to the best state? Below we prepare for you some knowledge on keeping healthy. Wish you have a good summer day.

Eyesight is a kind of limited resource.

Save water! Save electricity! Save time! From childhood to present, we have listened to countless edification like that. Due to the limit of the resource above, we need to save them. If we devour these limited resources, there must be the day of exhaustion. In fact, eyesight is also a kind of limited resource, so we need to protect it and save the usage of eyes.

Although the cause of myopia is not very clear yet, it is proved by lots of social surveys and experiments on animals that there are obvious causality between the occurrence of myopia and overdraft of eyes in watching near objects during the adolescence when eyes are still growing. Take the adolescent myopia sufferers who have the average extra reading time of less than two hours as reference, the number of adolescents who tend to read three hours after class are 2.1 times of the former ones. As for the adolescents who read for four to five hours after class, the number comes up to 3.2 times.

From the statistics shown in the above example, we could know that the overuse of eyes in watching near objects is the main reason for adolescents to get myopia. Early in 1980, a foreign scholar called Wallman did an experiment with chicklings. Through the experiment, he found that the chicklings which spent long time in watching near objects would get myopia of strong strength, while the chicklings which not only observed near objects but also watched objects beyond or spent long time in watching objects beyond didn’t have any problem in their eyes. Since, there are some other experiments also proving that overuse of eyes in watching near objects is the main cause of getting myopia.

All of these facts tell us that, during the adolescence, the time of watching near objects is a limited resource. If we consumer it excessively, some diseases would come into our eyes. Therefore, it is necessary for us to save the usage of eyes.

Recommendation:  plastic glasses
