Blog Synthesis of the Eyes

The human eye is something that plays a large role the human beings daily life. If the eyes are

not taken care of properly every day vision can begin to take a downward spiral. Yearly checkup and

examinations of the eye can help with early detection of health issues. Due to many fascination of eye, I

have chosen the study of eyes as my future occupation. Its because of the eyes many important roles

and complexities that people should educate themselves in the care and understanding of the eyes.

Many everyday issues could be indication of other health issues.

The first article that I choose, conducted a study on humans preference in eye color in terms of

attraction. Although eye color does not make a difference in ones vison, a lot can be interpreted. For

example, blue eyes can be linked to alcohol abuse, shyness and even a high tolerance for pain. The

article Human Commercial Models Eye Color Shows Negative Frequency- Department Selection, took

a sample of 1,600 models from Brazil and the United Kingdom and compared their eye color to the

average eye color of the country. The results found that on average people are attracted to eye color

that is not common. For example they found that the general public of Brazil was interested in non-

brown eyes when the average population was made up of 70% of brown eyes. Although these findings

are strong they do not directly concluded that your mate will always have the rare eye color. Another

area of concern when reading this is that some people are getting into colored contacts which throws a

curve ball at this whole study because nothing becomes linked to ones appearing eye color.

The next area of study had to do herbal supplements that work as a buffer for people with dry

eye syndrome. Dry eye syndrome is when ones eye ball does not produce enough tears. When ones

eye begins to dry out, it results in blurry vison, burning, or discomfort on a daily basis. The current

solution to this problem is to use artificial tears which does can only help the eyes for a short period of

time. The studies found in this article used Ferulic acid as a preservative and kaempferol to solve the
problem of dry eye. Kaempferol is commonly used in Chinese medicine in which the researchers got

their idea from. The results found that the solution helped to thicken cornea to get rid of and prevent

dry eye.

The next area of next study had to do with a surgical procedure that mostly everyone will

undergo at some point in their life called cataract surgery. This surgery is done to replace the lens in

your eye to correct vision. This study was taken to get understanding of who get cataract surgery, what

they know about it and what keeps the patents from getting it. The study concluded that the general

public is uneducated about cataract surgery which leads to further damage of their eyes.

The last study was done on eyelid conjunctivitis. The study was run on two girls who had little

pimple like bumps on their eyelid that a few optometrist had overlooked. The bumps were linked to a

burning feeling, blurry vision, HIV and a handful of other issues linked with the immune system. The

study wasnt completed because the virus has tendencys to reappear but the doctors believed that they

found the cure based on particular immunoglobulins found in the patients blood system. The younger

girl was able to clear up the conjunctivitis quicker than the older women because the doctors believed

that she was still holding immunoglobulin past down from her mother.

In conclusion, eyes are very important to the everyday functions and because of this, I want to

make sure everyone has equal opportunities to find good health care. With todays ever changing

importance in vison people are always going to need to see better. Whether you are only interested in

eyes for color, conjunctivitis, dry eye, or cataract surgery, the education level of eyes needs to be

expanded in order to maintain and improve ones vision and personal health.
