3 THINGS THAT CAN MAKE A PERSON GO BLIND

Blindness is simply loss of sight. It occurs when the sense of sight is lost.
It could be depressing. It has a way of changing a person's life, dreams, goals.

It has so many causes. Some could be congenital, due to intrauterine causes or exposure, hereditary, or due to some job exposure/ hazards. Man made and natural disasters could also play some negative role to the cause of blindness.

 But I'll write about just three.

• Smoking; for what ever reason people do smoke,it is bad for our health. Tobacco releases chemicals that affect the health. It also affects nerves that are around the eyes, which gradually leads to blindness.

• Sun; direct rays from the sun or staring at the sun directly can weaken the lenses and gradually that affects vision in a long run.

• Early menopause; menopause is the cessation of menstruation. It is expected around an average age of 45 years. But when it comes earlier than that age,it could lead to glaucoma which gradually leads to blindness.

To solve these three causes above.

1. Smoking should be stopped. It may be a habit,but determination could help. Speak to authorities responsible and you will get the help you need, no matter how addicted you are. Remember so many people need you more than you know. Save your life.

2. Protect your eyes from direct sun rays. Wear sun shades, hats, every thing that could protect your eyes from sun rays. It is better prevented than cured.

3. Early menopause may not be prevented,especially if observed late. Understand your body. See a gynaecologist early enough when you notice hormonal changes mostly at a young age. Those maybe signs. Go for checkups regularly, it may help detect these kind of issues.

Ensure you observe universal precautions,at all times.
