What made me abstain from my Morning tea session here yesterday

India

September 18, 2020 10:42pm CST

Well, I come here almost everyday in the morning. I have my morning tea and biscuits (or cookies) and am interacting here. Yet I skipped yesterday morning. The reason? I have a swelling and pain on the skin fold over my right eye. So I decided to have a break. I still do have it, although I am taking medicines. Yet I decided to do a short session here. Eye care is very vital as we have so much to do on laptops or mobiles. Yet often we neglect. How do you take care of your eyes?

You are right you need to take good care of your eyes. Hope you feel better soon. I do my regular yoga and asanas and pranayam are really good for eyes. Also take intermittent rest from screen and I do some eye exercises in break.

@arunima25 Yes I am trying to avoid continuous exposure. But some things cannot be avoided at times.

@arunima25 Yes indeed. Today I am chilling with an old 1971 James Bond Movie: Diamonds are Forever.

@arunima25 I did keep a track of the match, though I could not watch as my TV needs repairs which could be costly - may be greater than INR 5K.

I agree that it's so important to take excellent care of your eyes. I hope your medicine helps. Do you think the swelling is from an insect bite? I look into the distance every 15 minutes or so or get off the laptop.

@DianneN I was more active yesterday, but still tried to take more breaks. It could be insect bite but then it could have been more painful. I asked doctor if it could be due to some Vitamin deficiency but they said that it is not sure.

@DianneN Yes the medicines are working. Yet the strong medicines make me feel a bit uneasy so I try to have more water and some sweet things.

I try to pace myself and rest when I feel I need to. I'm blind, and I don't have a whole lot of vision left. So, I find pacing myself to be the best way . Give my body a break. If my eyes hurt, I try to lie down and sleep. Eye pain is usually my warning I need to sleep.
