بچوں کی آنکھوں کا معائنہ
ملک نعمان آئی اسسٹنٹ
آنکھیں قدرت کا ایک بیش بہا تحفہ ہیں جنکا نعم البدل ممکن نہیں. ہم میں سے بہت سے افراد ایسے ہیں جو اپنی آنکھوں کی صحت کا خیال نہیں رکھتے اس کے نتیجے میں آنکھوں کے مسائل سر اٹھانا شروع کر دیتے ہیں ۔ موجودہ دور کی آلودگی میں اضافہ ، جدید طرز زندگی ، ٹیلی ویژن ، موبائل فون اور کمپیوٹر پر پڑھنے کی عادت ، سورج کی شعائیں اور گرد آلود فضا کے علاوہ اور بہت سی چیزیں مل کر آنکھوں کے مسائل پیدا کرتی ہیں ۔
Eyes are a wonderful gift of Nature that has no alternate. There are many of us who do not care about the health of our eyes and as a result, the eye problems start to arise. In the current era the Increasing pollution, modern lifestyle, television, mobile phone, and computer reading habits, sun rays and ambient atmosphere, and many other things cause eye problems.
کیا آپ جانے انجانے میں اپنے لخت جگر کو اندھے پن کے اندھیروں میں دھکیل رہے ہیں ؟
سننے میں یہ بات بہت تلخ لگتی ہے لیکن کبھی کبھی یہ حالات کے مطابق بلکل دُرست بھی ہوتی ہے۔ ہمارے معاشرے میں آنکھوں کے سپیشلسٹ کو اُس وقت تک نہیں دکھایا جاتا جب تک پانی سر سے گزر نہ جائے۔ آئے روز ایسے نوجوان اور بچے دیکھنے کو ملتے ہیں جنکی نظر کا مسئلہ صرف عینک یا بہت ہی چھوٹی سی تھیراپی سے بہتر ہو جاتا ۔ لیکن صحیح وقت پر نہ دکھانے اور اسکا علاج نہ کر سکنے کی وجہ سے ہم انہیں جواب دینے پر مجبور ہو جاتے ہیں۔ ایسے نوجوانوں کو اپنی نظر کی کمزوری کا پتہ اُس وقت چلتا ہے جب وہ فوج میں بھرتی کے لیے جاتے ہیں۔ یا پھر کسی پروفیشنل ایگزیم اور ٹریننگ کے لیے۔ اُنکی ایک آنکھ میں بینائی یا تو مکمل طور پر نہیں ہوتی یا پھر بہت کمزور ہوتی ہے۔ کسی کسی کو رنگوں کے پہچان کا مسئلہ بھی ہوتا ہے ۔
Are you deliberately pushing your loved ones into the darkness of blindness?
This sounds harsh to hear, but sometimes it is just too precise for the situation. In our society, we don’t go to an eye specialist until it's too late. Every day, you see young people and children whose vision problems can be solved by just having glasses or with very small therapy. But we are forced to refuse them because they didn't show up and didn't get treatment at the right time. Such young people get to know about the weakness of their eyes when they go into the army Or for a Professional Exam and Training. Their eyesight is either completely gone or very weak. Some also have a problem with color recognition.
برائے مہربانی اپنے بچوں کی آنکھوں کا معائنہ ایک بار اسکول داخلے کی عمر میں ضرور کروائیں۔ اس کی بعد دس گیارہ سال کی عمر میں بھی ایک بار ضرور دیکھائیں۔ تا کہ اگر جسم کی نشو نما کے ساتھ ساتھ آنکھوں کی نشو نما میں کوئی کمی رہ گئی ہے یا عینک کے نمبر کی ضرورت ہے تو اسے پورا کیا جا سکے۔
Please make sure your child's eyes are examined once at the age when they get admitted to the school. After that, even at the age of ten, or eleven years, they must get the examination. So that if there is any reduction in body development as well as in eye development and there is any need for glasses, this could be met.
آنکھوں کی حفاظت کی چند تدابیر
Some Eyes Safety Tips:
ایک تھکن زردہ دن باہر گزارنے کے بعد آنکھوں کو تازہ اور ٹھنڈے پانی سے دھوئیں تاکہ گردوغبار صاف ہوجائے۔

لیٹ کر پڑھنا بھی آنکھوں کو شدید نقصان پہنچانے کا باعث بنتا ہے۔

ٹی وی کو کم ازکم آنکھوں سے تین میٹر کے فاصلے پر رکھیں۔
- Keep the TV at least 3 meters away from your eyes
کمپیوٹر پر کام کرتے ہوئے آنکھیں مسلسل سکرین پر مرکوز رکھنے کے بجائے ہر تھوڑی دیر بعد چند لمحوں کا توقف کریں۔ہر 20 منٹ بعد 20 سیکنڈ کیلئے 20 فٹ دور دیکھیں۔
- While working on a computer, give your eyes rest for a few moments, instead of constantly focusing on the screen. Look 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes.

Costume and Cosmetic Eye Contact Lens Safety Month
October is Costume and Cosmetic Eye Contact Lens Safety Month
The month of October is “Costume and Cosmetic Eye Contact Lens Safety Month ” and the organization is taking steps to educate the public in the best possible ways to care for their eyes through the safe use and care of contact lenses.
Causes of contact lenses
Five Frightening Risks of Wearing Costume and Cosmetic Contact Lenses
Scary-looking costume and cosmetic contact lenses may elevate your Halloween’s fright factor, but wearing them without a prescription could result in something far more terrifying – blindness. The Acuity Eye Center Lahore Pakistan joins the American Academy of Ophthalmology in ensuring the public understands the risks of wearing over-the-counter contact lenses.
It is illegal to sell non-prescription contact lenses, but they can still be easily purchased at places such as beauty supply stores, costume shops and on the Internet. Falsely advertised as “one-size-fits-all” or “no prescription necessary,” these lenses can cause serious eye damage. One young man is now legally blind in one eye after wearing colored contact lenses he bought at a gas station. He’s suffered multiple eye infections, a cataract, and secondary glaucoma, all of which required surgery.
Ophthalmologists – physicians and surgeons who specialize in medical and surgical eye care – are reminding people of five frightening consequences of ignoring the warnings:
1. Scratches to the eye
If contacts are not professionally fitted to your eye, they can scratch the clear front window of the eye. This is called a corneal abrasion, which is not only painful but can cause permanent damage. Just ask Laura Butler, who was in severe pain due to corneal abrasions 10 hours after putting in non-prescription lenses, which “stuck to my eye like suction cups.” Treatment often involves medication and patching. Sometimes, damage cannot be reversed. Butler now has a corneal scar, vision damage, and a drooping eyelid.
2. Blindness
It’s no scare tactic: wearing non-prescription contacts can lead to permanent vision loss. Learn how to take proper care of your contact lenses to avoid dangerous eye infections.
3. Painful Infection
Research shows wearing non-prescription contacts increases the risk of an infection called keratitis by 16 times. Early treatment with antibiotic or steroid drops may preserve vision, but sometimes surgery, such as corneal transplantation, is necessary. Robyn Rouse had to have that surgery after she got an infection after wearing non-prescription lenses she bought at a local store.
4. Pink eye
Never share contacts because doing so can spread germs, causing conditions such as the pink eye. Highly contagious, pink eye treatment depends on the cause, but typically includes some home remedies and antibiotic eye drops.
5. Decreased vision
Whether from a corneal scratch or infection, wearing non-prescription contacts can lead to decreased vision.
“It’s just not worth it,” said Thomas L. Steinemann, M.D., a clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. “One night of looking scary in costume lenses is not worth losing your eyesight. If you must have contact lenses for any reason, do not buy over-the-counter lenses. Protect your vision by getting prescription lenses from an eye health professional.”
Here is the message of our Lead Consultant Professor Dr Zia Ul Mazhry
" Please be careful, the poorly fitted contact lenses could be the beginning of serious eye problems. When it comes to coloured or decorative contact lens the only safe when these are prescribed by a qualified eye doctor and purchased from an authentic source."
Precautions
The Academy encourages the public to watch and share its “No Prescription, No Way” public service announcement that shows the serious damage that these non-prescription costume contact lenses can inflict on the eyes.
