For your eyes only, says Bangalore

Good eyesight is a blessing and it’s only when vision falters do we understand the power of sight.

To maintain good eye health here are the preventive measures that you can adopt:

· Try yoga, which has various exercises to keep eyes fit.

· Include food containing Vitamin A, such as, carrots, milk, eggs, butter, mango and papaya in your daily diet.

· Try visiting an ophthalmologist at least once a year.

But then again, strain, injury or genetic causes can affect one’s vision. Here are a few eyecare centres that can come as timely help.

Sankara Nethralaya is one of the well-known eye-care centres in Bangalore. It boasts of a great team of specialists, nurses and excellent support system to handle most eye-related problems.
