How Does Technology Affect Eye Health?

Anyone who gets the full Reiki initiations can use the Reiki energy for healing them-

An eager interest in the workings and anatomy of the eye has stemmed my interest towards a career in optometry. My fondness for science came from reading the book ‘The Man Who Mistook His Wife for His Hat', which recounts the case histories of patients lost in the bizarre, apparently inescapable world of neurological disorders, this drove my passion past the scope of the curriculum, engaging with ideas independently to follow a career in optometry.

This therapy is used to treat depression, relieve tension and improve circulation (Pitman & Mackenzie, 2002). It also helps to restore the natural functions in different organs. Healthy cells are rejuvenated in the body. Stressors can be eliminated and/or reduced which brings positive cognitive thoughts and emotions (Pitman & Mackenzie, 2002). Reflexology helps to restore neurotransmitter imbalances which may cause depression and other mental disorders (Pitman & Mackenzie, 2002). Once the hormones are release calmness and serenity returns giving the individual the ability to handle problems.

(SIP-A) The Internet and screen time, the virtual gateway to everything in the world, can affect your mind’s ability to store memory. (STEWE-1) Researcher Daniel Wegner found that “when people have access to search engines, they remember fewer facts and less information because they know they can rely on “search” as a readily available shortcut”(Wegner). This is exactly what happens in the book, people rely too much on technology and they end up having difficulty holding onto information. (STEWE-2) “Students who have trouble remembering distinct facts, for example, may struggle to employ those facts in critical thinking”(Wegner). Because we rely on the technology, it’s basically become our “digital brain”. It holds all our information so we don't have to, leading to a lack of holding onto information because of technology. (SIP-B) Looking at screens constantly can cause severe or irreversible damage to the body. (STEWE-1) Based on an article, “too much time in front of TV and computer screens is causing increasing psychological problems, such as depression and anxiety”(the guardian). These are direct effects from too much technology. (STEWE-2) “The effects, particularly on mental health, were most pronounced for those children who spent more than four hours a day using some sort of screen-based technology”(the guardian). Mental damage can overtime be healed but if the brain is damaged to a certain extent, then the damage will be irreversible. This is caused when someone stares at a screen for long periods of time or is actively engaging in what is appearing on their

Yet tech advancements also come with consequences that affects our health and brains. In “8 Ways Technology Makes You Stupid” by Rebecca Hiscott, the author states “ Blue light can disrupt that process, making it impossible for you to stick to a proper sleep schedule. Losing sleep has a number of negative effects on your brain. If you’re not logging seven or more hours of sleep each night, you might suffer from increasingly bad moods, decreased focus at work and problems with memory, not to mention a loss of actual brain tissue — all of which makes you less than a joy to be around.” This means because of technology people are losing sleep and it leads to negative affects to the brain, like manipulating the way it thinks because the lack of sleep technology gives you.

“Up to 90% of young adults in major East Asian countries, including China, Taiwan, Japan, Singapore and South Korea, are nearsighted” (Park par. 3). The main reason that causes this phenomenon is that the East Asian students are overusing technology such as smart phones, Ipads, and computers. These technologies devices are the friends that they spend most time with. Playing video games and watching TV for over two hours each day can really hurt the teenagers’ eyes. However, bad eyesight is not the only impact that technology gives us. Technology is also shortening the time we spend on reading paperback books, obstructing us from gaining knowledge, creating communication problems among teenagers, and weakening our problem solving skills. These impacts can each cause the teenagers and even adults serious problem if they are not aware of them.

Technology is ruining our eyes day by day. Think about how many hours the average teen spends on their phone about 4 hours a day. The bad part is that

Two twenty-four minute Reiki sessions were completed at the children’s home. In conclusion, decreased mean scores for outcome measures indicate the reiki therapy did decrease pain, anxiety, heart rate, and respiratory rate, but small sample size deterred statistical significance. This work suggests that complementary methods of treatment such as reiki may be beneficial to support traditional methods to manage pain and anxiety in these children. However, more research should be done to further validate the claims (Thrane et al., 2017, p.

Going through a special intensive training certifies a Reiki practitioner. The training is conducted by a Reiki Master/Teacher and includes a sacred ceremony called an "attunement." Only after being attuned, can one channel the Reiki energy.

One of the most important arms of the reiki is to make a person efficient, effective and energetic. In short

Results: The study included 40 eyes of 21 patients. All patients completed at least 6 months

Certain foods are heavy on eyesight empowering nutrients, such as spinach, kale, dark berries, walnuts,

It’s simple, just cut two cucumber slices about 1/8th “thick and apply onto eyes for about fifteen minutes. The cucumber will nourish the eyes keeping them moist and tight.

I looked into the physics of the eye itself and into corrective lenses because I wear glasses. The human eye is a very complex piece of anatomy. Like a camera, the eye is able to refract light and produce an image that can enable someone to see.

Furthermore, another effect is visual problems. Visual problems from computer patient will meet the doctor with symptom blurred vision, double vision (diplopia), etc. Actually, these problems are not caused by nearsightedness or myopia, farsightedness or hyperopia, astigmatism and refractive problem, but the effect of these problems are from prolonged computer usage. The study of computer vision syndrome in computer office workers blurred vision can be found up to 23.8% and this study also found that double vision up to 13.7%. Plus, statistic of the American Optometric Association was found blurring vision in 30.48%. Visual problems are caused by fatigue of the eye muscles (ciliary muscle) that control the focus of the image or extraocular muscle that compounds the images from both eyes into a single image (binocular single vision) due to use near vision or reading vision for a long time. Definition of double vision or diplopia by The Merriam Webster dictionary is a disorder of vision in which two images of a single object are seen (as from the unequal action of the eye muscles). And the meaning of blurred vision is a loss of visual acuity and disability to see small details. Which is sometimes related to the inability of the eyes to focus on a computer screen for a significant amount of time. In addition, visibility may be blurred by constantly changing focus on the keyboard and computer screen. How to avoid the visual problem? There are many ways to avoid these symptoms,
