پروفیسر ڈاکٹر ضیا ء المظہری کی کتاب چشمِ بینا سے لی گئی نظم "اِستحکامِ ملت" روزنامہ نوائے وقت کے سنڈے میگزین میں 22 نومبر 2020 کو شائع ہوئی۔ یہ نظم ولیم رالف ایمرسن کی نظم ( اے نیشن سٹرینتھ ) سے ماخوذ ہے۔ اس مختصر نظم میں شاعر ایک قوم کی کامیابی کا راز افشا کرتا ہے۔ کسی قوم کی کامیابی اس کے افراد سے ہوتی ہے نہ کہ سونے ، زیورات ، تلواروں اور بندوقوں سے۔
This original English poem has been written by “R.W. Emerson.” In this short poem, he reveals the secret of a nation's success. The success of a nation lies with its manpower that is its people and not with gold and jewels.
"A Nation's Strength" by William Ralph Emerson
(ء1833-1917)
What makes a nation's pillars high
And its foundations strong?
What makes it mighty to defy
The foes that round it throng?
ایک ملت کے ستون کیسے ہوتے ہیں بُلند
کیسے ہوتی ہے اساس استوار و ارجُمند
جب ہجوم دُشمناں ہر طرف سے گھیرلے
ناقابل تسخیر ملت، کونسا جوہر کرے
It is not gold. Its kingdoms grand
Go down in battle shock;
Its shafts are laid on sinking sand,
Not on abiding rock.
ذر نہیں ہے قوم کے، باقی رہنے کی دلیل
شان و شوکت جنگ میں، ہوتی آئی ہے ذلیل
پایہ ہائے ذر تو قائم، ہوں پھسلتی ریت پر
پائیدار و مستقل تو، سنگ خارا ہے مگر
Is it the sword? Ask the red dust
Of empires passed away;
The blood has turned their stones to rust,
Their glory to decay.
سُرخ مٹی سے چلو، آؤ تو پوچھیں ذرا
شہنشاہی کی ضمانت ،تیغ دیتی ہے بھلا
قصہ ماضی ہوئے، عظمتوں کے رنگ سب
خاک و خوں اور زنگ سے، آلودہ خشت و سنگ سب
And is it pride? Ah, that bright crown
Has seemed to nations sweet;
But God has struck its lustre down
In ashes at his feet.
فخر و تکبر کیا ہوا، تابانیِء تاج و کلاہ
دلکش و شیریں بہت، قوم کی اس پہ نگاہ
اک الوہی ضرب نے، بے نور کر پھینکا اِسے
راکھ کر کے اپنے قدموں، کے تلے روندا اسے
Not gold but only men can make
A people great and strong;
Men who for truth and honour's sake
Stand fast and suffer long.
ذر نہیں افراد ہی سے، قوم کی تعمیر ہے
پائیداری، استواری، عظمت و توقیر ہے
صدق و شرف جن کو ضیاءؔ، ہو مقدم دائمی
ثابت و ایستادہ و صابر جو پیہم آدمی
Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others fly...
They build a nation's pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.
ڈوبے ہوں غافل نیند میں، یہ مرد ہوں محوِ عمل
مفرور ہوں ڈرپوک جب، جراء ت پہ قائم یہ رجل
مضبوط و محکم اور عمیق، رکھیں ملت کے ستوں
اور عروج و ارتفاع میں، آسماں بھی سرنگوں

جدید ٹیکنالوجی کے ذریعے دور کی نظر کی کمزوری اور دھندلے پن کا علاج ممکن ہے جس کی وجہ سے عینک اور کنٹیکٹ لینز سے ہمیشہ کیلئے نجات مل سکتی ہے۔
دور کی نظر میں خرابی اور دھندلاپن کیا ہوتا ہے؟
وہ لوگ جن کی دور کی نظر کمزور ہو یا انہیں چیزیں دھندلی نظر آتی ہوں تو یہ ان کی آنکھ کی بناوٹ یا قورنیہ کی عدم درستگی کی بناء پر ہوتا ہے۔ جسے لیزر سے درست کر دیا جاتا ہے۔
اِس عمل کے کیا فوائد ہیں؟
لیزر سے قورنیہ کی قوت کو تبدیل کر دیا جاتا ہے جس سے اِس کی فوکس یعنی مرکوز کرنے کی صلاحیت بحال ہو جاتی ہے اور آپ عینک یا کنٹیکٹ لینز کے بغیر دیکھنے لگتے ہیں جس سے آپ کی ذات اور شخصیت میں اعتماد بیدا ہوتا ہے کھیلوں میں شرکت کا لطف بڑھ جاتا ہے اور ایسے پیشہ ورانہ فرائض کی تکمیل آسان ہو جاتی ہے جس کیلئے درست نظر مطلوبہ اہلیت میں شامل ہو اور خصوصاََ ان نوجوانوں کیلئے جو ایسے اِداروں میں ملازمت حاصل کرنے کے خواہاں ہوں۔
لیزر ٹیکنالوجی کیسے کارگر ہوتی ہے؟
لیزر ٹیکنالوجی ایک مہین سی لیزر شعاع کے ذریعے آنکھ کے قورنیہ کی حالت کو درست کر دیتی ہے۔ اس لیزر شعاع سے قطعی کوئی حدت یا تابکاری پیدا نہیں ہوتی۔
اِس عمل میں کتنا وقت لگتا ہے؟
اِس عمل میں قریباََ پندرہ منٹ صرف ہوتے ہیں اور اِس لیے داخلے کی ضرورت نہیں ہوتی۔
اِس عمل کی کامیابی کی شرح کیا ہے؟
چھیانوے فیصد سے زائد لوگوں کو عینک یا کنٹیکٹ لینز سے چھٹکارا مل جاتا ہے اور باقی ماندہ افراد کا عینک پر انحصار کم ہو جاتا ہے۔ یہ ٹیکنالوجی امریکی ادارے ایف ڈی اے کی منظور کردہ ہے۔
کیا اس میں بینائی کو خطرہ ہے؟
دس لاکھ افراد کی نظر اس عمل سے درست کی جا چکی ہے کسی خاص پیچیدگری کا کوئی قابل ذکر واقعہ نہیں ہوا۔ تاہم پیچیدگی سے مبرا ہونے کا تاثر غلط ہے اور پیچیدگی پیدا ہونے کا امکان 1/1000 موجود رہتا ہے۔
علاج کے بعد کتنی دیر آرام کی ضرورت ہوتی ہے؟
نظر درست کرانے کے عمل سے گزرنے کے بعد ایک ہفتہ آرام کی ضرورت ہوتی ہے۔ اِس کے بعد آپ روزمرہ کے معاملات شروع کر سکتے ہیں۔
کیا نظر مستقل طور پر درست ہو جاتی ہے؟
جی ہاں! اِس علاج سے دور کی نظر اور دھندلا پن ہمیشہ کیلئے درست ہو جاتا ہے۔
لیزر ٹیکنالوجی کے ذریعے نظر درست کرنے کے عمل سے کون لوگ زیادہ فائدہ اُٹھا سکتے ہیں؟
اٹھارہ سال سے زائد عمر کے افراد جن کو دور کی عینک یا کنٹیکٹ لینز لگانے پڑتے ہوں۔ اِس ٹیکنالاجی سے زیادہ فائدہ اٹھا سکتے ہیں یا جو لوگ عینک یا کنٹیکٹ لینز سے اُکتا چکے ہوں۔
کیا لیزر سے علاج کے بعد بھی عینک کی ضرورت پیش آسکتی ہے؟
جی ہاں اِس کا امکان 5 سے 10 فیصد ہے۔ تاہم یہ نمبر عام طور پر بہت ہلکا ہوتا ہے ایک سال کے عرصے میں دوبارہ لیزر لگائی جا سکتی ہے۔

Sixty Percent of People with Diabetes Skip Annual Sight-Saving Exams
People with diabetes are at increased risk of developing serious eye diseases, yet most do not have sight-saving, annual eye exams, according to a large study. Acuity Eye Center Lahore Pakistan joins the American Academy of Ophthalmology in reiterating the importance of eye exams during the month of November, which is observed as Diabetic Eye Disease Awareness Month.
Researchers at Wills Eye Hospital in Philadelphia have found that more than half of patients with the disease skip these exams. They also discovered that patients who smoke – and those with less severe diabetes and no eye problems – were most likely to neglect to have these checks.
One in 10 Americans has diabetes, putting them at heightened risk for visual impairment due to the eye disease diabetic retinopathy. The disease also can lead to other blinding ocular complications if not treated in time. Fortunately, having a dilated eye exam yearly or more often can prevent 95 per cent of diabetes-related vision loss.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic Retinopathy
It is also known as diabetic eye disease, which is a medical condition in which damage occurs to the retina due to diabetes mellitus. It is a leading cause of blindness. Diabetic retinopathy affects up to 80 per cent of those who have had diabetes for 20 years or more.
Symptoms Of Diabetic Retinopathy
Symptoms Of Diabetic Retinopathy
You first may notice diabetic retinopathy (DR) or other eye problems related to diabetes when you have symptoms such as:
Fluctuating vision
Eye floaters and spots
Development of a scotoma or shadow in your field of view
Blurry and/or distorted vision
Corneal abnormalities such as slow healing of wounds due to corneal abrasions
Double vision
Eye pain
Near vision problems unrelated to presbyopia
Prevention of Diabetic Eye Disease
Prevention of Diabetic Eye Disease
Eye exams are critical as they can reveal hidden signs of disease, enabling timely treatment. This is why the Academy recommends people with diabetes have them annually or more often as recommended by their ophthalmologist, a physician who specializes in medical and surgical eye care.
People with diabetes need to know that they shouldn't wait until they experience problems to get these exams, Getting your eyes checked by an ophthalmologist can reveal the signs of disease that patients aren’t aware of.
Here is the message of our Lead consultant Professor Dr Zia Ul Mazhry
"Diabetic retinopathy is a scientific term that means damage to the retina caused by leaky vessels of new vessel formation on the retina. Early detection is the key to damage control and devising a treatment plan. Moreover, by managing diabetes, you can reduce the progression of this disease affecting your eyesight. Patients having a high risk of diabetic retinopathy should know that regular examination and followup by a qualified eye specialist is the only way to timely diagnoses of this blinding disease. The sooner the diagnosis is established, the better custom treatment plan can be materialized."

ہائپراوپیا یا دور اندیشی ، ایک عام نظر کا مسئلہ ہے ، جو آبادی کے ایک چوتھائی حصے کو متاثر کرتا ہے۔ ہائپراوپیا کے شکار افراد دور کی اشیاء کو بہت اچھی طرح سے دیکھ سکتے ہیں ، لیکن ان چیزوں پر توجہ دینے میں دشواری کا سامنا کرنا پڑتا ہے جو قریب ہوتی ہیں۔ اس حالت کو بعض اوقات ہائپراوپیاکی بجائے "ہائپرمیٹروپیا" بھی کہا جاتا ہے۔
ہائپراوپیا / دور نظری کی علامات
د ور اندیش لوگوں کو بعض اوقات سر میں درد ہوتا ہے یا آنکھوں میں تناؤ محسوس ہوتا ہے اور قریب میں کام کرتے وقت وہ تھکاوٹ محسوس کرسکتے ہیں۔ اگر آپ کو یہ علامات اپنی عینک یا کانٹیکٹ لینز پہنتے وقت محسوس ہوتی ہیں تو ، آپ کو آنکھوں کے معائنے یا نئے نسخے کی ضرورت پڑسکتی ہے۔
ہائپراوپیا / ہائپرمیٹروپیا کی کیا وجہ ہے؟
ہائپراوپیا / ہائپرمیٹروپیا کی کیا وجہ ہے؟
بینائی کا یہ مسئلہ اس وقت پایا جاتا ہے جب آنکھوں میں داخل ہونے والی روشنی کی کرنیں براہ راست اس کی بجائے ، ریٹینا کے پیچھے رہ جاتی ہیں۔ دور اندیش انسان کی آنکھوں کا سائز معمول سے چھوٹا ہوتا ہے۔ بہت سے بچے دور اندیش پیدا ہوتے ہیں۔بعض اوقات لوگ ہائپراوپیاا کو پریسبایوپیا کے ساتھ الجھاتے ہیں جو مختلف وجوہات کی بناء پر نزدیک کا کام کرتے ہوئے بھی دشواریوں کا سبب بنتا ہے۔

Costume and Cosmetic Eye Contact Lens Safety Month
October is Costume and Cosmetic Eye Contact Lens Safety Month
Consult an Eye Care Professional if Your Halloween Costume Includes Scary Eyes
Acuity Eye Center Lahore Pakistan and the American Academy of Ophthalmology warn about the dangers of illegal costume contact lenses lurking on store shelves and invading online retailers
Creepy costume lenses might add a spine-tingling thrill to your Halloween costume, but wearing costume contact lenses without a prescription can lead to serious eye infections or permanent vision loss. Decorative lenses are medical devices, not costume jewellery. They must be prescribed and fitted by an eye care professional, just like regular contact lenses. That's why Acuity Eye Center Lahore Pakistan and the American Academy of Ophthalmology are urging people to buy decorative contact lenses only from retailers who require a prescription and sell FDA-approved products.
A poorly fitted contact lens can easily scrape the cornea, the outer layer of the eye, making the eye more vulnerable to infection-causing bacteria and viruses. Sometimes scarring from an infection is so bad, a corneal transplant is required to restore vision. The most extreme cases can end in blindness.
Although it is illegal to sell non-prescription contact lenses, they are available at costume shops, gas stations, corner shops, and online. Research shows that people who purchase contacts without a prescription face a 16-fold increased risk of developing an infection.
The Academy offers the following tips to help ensure your Halloween costume won’t haunt you long after Oct 31:
Here Are Some Tips for Use of Cosmetic/Costume Contact Lenses
See an eye care professional who gets a prescription for costume contact lenses

Packaging that claims “one size fits all” or “no need to see an eye doctor” is false. Get properly fitted by an ophthalmologist (physicians and surgeons who specialize in medical and surgical eye care) or optometrist (healthcare professionals who provide primary vision care).
Proper care of contact lenses
Proper care of contact lenses
Even if you have a prescription for contact lenses, proper care remains essential. Cleanliness is an important aspect of proper contact lens care and handling of your new lenses. Your hands should be clean and free of any foreign substances when you handle your lenses:
Never share contact Lenses
Never share contact Lenses
Pink eye isn’t a good look, even for a costume. Sharing contacts can spread germs, causing conditions such as pink eye, which is highly contagious.
Spread the word to others about the dangers of costume contacts
Don’t let friends make the mistake of wearing costume contacts without a prescription.
“The FDA oversees the safety and effectiveness of all contact lenses because they are a medical device, even the ghoulish ones people wear on Halloween,” said Thomas L. Steinemann, MD, a clinical spokesperson for the American Academy of Ophthalmology. “It’s important that you use only FDA-approved lenses prescribed for your eyes.”
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."

There are some steps that can relief computer eye strain in the following:
Get a comprehensive eye exam
Get a comprehensive eye exam
Having a routine comprehensive eye exam every year is the most important thing you can do to prevent or treat computer vision problems. During your exam, be sure to tell your eye doctor how often you use a computer and digital devices at work and at home.
Measure how far your eyes are from your screen when you sit at your computer and bring this measurement to your exam so your eye doctor can test your eyes at that specific working distance.
Use proper lighting for using computer
Use proper lighting for using computer
Eye strain often is caused by excessively bright light either from outdoor sunlight coming in through a window or from harsh interior lighting. When you use a computer, your ambient lighting should be about half as bright as that typically found in most offices.
Eliminate exterior light by closing drapes, shades, or blinds. Reduce interior lighting by using fewer light bulbs or fluorescent tubes, or use lower intensity bulbs and tubes.
Also, if possible, position your computer screen so windows are to the side, instead of in front or behind it.
Many computer users find their eyes feel better if they can avoid working under overhead fluorescent lights. If possible, turn off the overhead fluorescent lights in your office and use floor lamps that provide indirect "soft white" LED lighting instead.
Sometimes switching to "full-spectrum" fluorescent lighting that more closely approximates the light spectrum emitted by sunlight can be more comforting for computer work than regular fluorescent tubes. But even full spectrum lighting can cause discomfort if it's too bright.
Try reducing the number of fluorescent tubes installed above your computer workspace if you are bothered by overhead lighting.
Upgrade your display
If you have not already done so, replace your old tube-style monitor (called a cathode ray tube or CRT) with a flat-panel LED (light-emitting diode) screen with an anti-reflective surface.
Old-fashioned CRT screens can cause a noticeable "flicker" of images, which is a major cause of computer eye strain. Even if this flicker is imperceptible, it still can contribute to eye strain and fatigue during computer work.
To ease eye strain, make sure you use good lighting and sit at a proper distance from the computer screen.
Complications due to flicker are even more likely if the refresh rate of the monitor is less than 75 hertz (Hz). If you must use a CRT at work, adjust the display settings to the highest possible refresh rate.
When choosing a new flat panel display, select a screen with the highest resolution possible. Resolution is related to the "dot pitch" of the display. Generally, displays with a lower dot pitch have sharper images. Choose a display with a dot pitch of .28 mm or smaller.
Also, choose a relatively large display. For a desktop computer, select a display that has a diagonal screen size of at least 19 inches.
Adjust your computer display settings
Adjust your computer display settings
Adjusting the display settings of your computer can help reduce eye strain and fatigue. Generally, these adjustments are beneficial:
Brightness: Adjust the brightness of the display so it's approximately the same as the brightness of your surrounding workstation. As a test, look at the white background of this Web page. If it looks like a light source, it's too bright. If it seems dull and grey, it may be too dark.
Text size and contrast: Adjust the text size and contrast for comfort, especially when reading or composing long documents. Usually, black print on a white background is the best combination of comfort.
Colour temperature: This is a technical term used to describe the spectrum of visible light emitted by a colour display. Blue light is short-wavelength visible light that is associated with more eye strain than longer wavelength hues, such as orange and red. Reducing the colour temperature of your display lowers the amount of blue light emitted by a colour display for better long-term viewing comfort.
Blink more often
Blinking more often
Blinking is very important when working at a computer; blinking moistens your eyes to prevent dryness and irritation.
When staring at a screen, people blink less frequently — only about one-third as often as they normally do — and many blinks performed during computer work are only partial lid closures, according to studies.
Tears coating the eye evaporate more rapidly during long non-blinking phases and this can cause dry eyes. Also, the air in many office environments is dry, which can increase how quickly your tears evaporate, placing you at greater risk for dry eye problems.
If you experience dry eye symptoms, ask your eye doctor about artificial tears for use during the day.
By the way, don't confuse lubricating eye drops with the drops formulated to "get the red out." The latter can indeed make your eyes look better — they contain ingredients that reduce the size of blood vessels on the surface of your eyes to "whiten" them. But they are not necessarily formulated to reduce dryness and irritation.
To reduce your risk of dry eyes during computer use, try this exercise: Every 20 minutes, blink 10 times by closing your eyes as if falling asleep (very slowly). This will help rewet your eyes.
Exercise your eyes
20-20-20 Rule
Another cause of computer eye strain is focusing on fatigue. To reduce your risk of tiring your eyes by constantly focusing on your screen, look away from your computer at least every 20 minutes and gaze at a distant object (at least 20 feet away) for at least 20 seconds. Some eye doctors call this the "20-20-20 rule." Looking far away relaxes the focusing muscle inside the eye to reduce fatigue.
Another exercise is to look far away at an object for 10-15 seconds, then gaze at something up close for 10-15 seconds. Then look back at the distant object. Do this 10 times. This exercise reduces the risk of your eyes' focusing ability to "lock-up" (a condition called accommodative spasm) after prolonged computer work.
Both of these exercises will reduce the risk of computer eye strain. Also, remember to blink frequently during the exercises to reduce your risk of computer-related dry eye.
Modify your Workstation
Modify your Workstation
If you need to look back and forth between a printed page and your computer screen, place the written pages on a copy stand adjacent to your screen.
Light the copy stand properly. You may want to use a desk lamp, but make sure it doesn't shine into your eyes or onto your computer screen.
Poor posture also contributes to computer vision syndrome. Adjust your workstation and chair to the correct height so your feet rest comfortably on the floor.
Position your computer screen so it's 20 to 24 inches from your eyes. The centre of your screen should be about 10 to 15 degrees below your eyes for comfortable positioning of your head and neck.

Ophthalmologists Encourage Making Your Eyes Part of a Healthy Aging Strategy
Acuity Eye Center Lahore Pakistan and the American Academy of Ophthalmology urge people to protect their health and vision
According to a national survey released by the American Academy of Ophthalmology, nearly two out of three adults report having eye or vision problems. A significant percentage of them, however, fail to seek medical attention in the form of regular, sight-saving eye exams. In observance of Healthy Aging Month in September, Acuity Eye Center Lahore Pakistan joins the American Academy of Ophthalmology in emphasizing the importance of having regular eye exams to maintain healthy eyes and vision.
Some of the more common age-related eye diseases include:
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
It is an eye disease that can blur the sharp, central vision you need for activities like reading and driving.
Age-Related Macular Degeneration
Cataract
A cataract is a dense, cloudy area that forms in the lens of the eye. A cataract begins when proteins in the eye form clumps that prevent the lens from sending clear images to the retina. The retina works by converting the light that comes through the lens into signals.
Cataract
Diabetic Retinopathy
It is a diabetes complication that affects eyes. It's caused by damage to the blood vessels of the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye (retina).
Diabetic Retinopathy
Glaucoma
Itis a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, the health of which is vital for good vision. This damage is often caused by abnormally high pressure in your eye.
Glaucoma
Early detection and treatment of these conditions can help to save sight before vision loss occurs. Ophthalmologists – the physicians that specialize in medical and surgical eye care – recommend a dilated comprehensive eye exam as the best way to prevent these conditions from becoming debilitating.
Adults Do Not Get Eye Exams as Often as Recommended
The survey results emphasize a need for more education about the importance of medical eye exams. Findings showed that 64 percent of adults had at least one or more of the following issues with their eyes or vision:
Difficulty seeing at night
Blurry vision
Reading up close
Flashes of light
Red, Watery eyes
Double vision.
Despite experiencing some level of impairment, only 13 percent admitted they had been seen by an ophthalmologist.
How Often Do Adults Need Eye Exams?
How Often Do Adults Need Eye Exams?
The Academy recommends that a healthy adult get a baseline eye exam at age 40, even if they have no history of eye problems or eye disease. Those who have chronic conditions, such as diabetes or high blood pressure, may require more frequent exams.
" Aging is not lost youth but a new stage of opportunity and strength. You can't avoid age. However, we can avoid some aging. Continue to do things, be active. Take care of your health, especially the vision because this will keep you connected to the rest of the world during the aging process."
