Let’s stay focused

Let’s stay focused

We should teach our children at an early age a few facts about how the human eye works. Visual perception begins as soon as the eye focuses, and it’s the lens that allows our eyes to focus. Children sometime don’t realize what rolling their eyes mean or that it may be harmful to them. I can remember kids having contests of staring into each other’s eyes, which can strain the eye muscles. Our vision degrades with age, affecting those over the age of 50.  Is it possible to overcome and/or delay some of the disabilities imposed by the aging eye? A little trick I use is when I wake up in the morning to wash my face, I look into the mirror and remind myself to stay focused.

Ms. Helen,

We need to stay focus and teach our children to want to be a sovereign free people in a country of our own that all we see with our eye balls is our own country. Learning about the eye will come later our teachers teach about how the eye sees and how harmful rolling yours eyes can be!

You are not an intelligent woman since you don't know what we should be focus on first!

The average person blinks some 15-20 times per minute. In addition to defending the eye from particles and allergens, the blink can help diagnose certain diseases. – People who experience emotional excitement, anxiety or frustration have an increased blink rate; feelings of guilt have also been reported to affect normal blink patterns. - Low blink rates, is associated with inattentiveness and daydreaming. My experience has been that whenever I become bored or feeling sleepy in public, I simply pay more attention to blinking which will prevents your eyes from looking like they’re in a trance.
