One of the most important senses we have is that of the ability to see, yet some of us are unfortunate to have poor eyesight (from birth, as a result of an accident, or due to old age) that means we miss out on many of the benefits that good eyesight brings unless we can improve (and in many cases, entirely fix) our eyesight by wearing contact lenses.
It’s important to note that our eyesight and our overall health aren’t two different things and are instead entirely linked. Though being in good health cannot improve the chance of our eyesight getting better, being in poor health overall can have a detrimental affect on your entire body, including the rate in which your eyesight may go downhill.
With this in mind, below are four reasons why having good eyesight is to important, all of which point to practical daily benefits that, if you’re currently suffering from reduced eyesight, you could also benefit from if you were to look into wearing contacts, or even glasses.
1) It Makes Reading a Treat
Reading, to many people, is one of the most enjoyable treats on this planet. With so many wonderful authors having lived before us, and so many more alive today, it’s no wonder that we’re a world of readers, excited to take on our next to me.
If you are currently suffering from poor eyesight, one of the things that will make reading more pleasurable is not having to change your glasses every time you sit down to read. Even just wearing coloured contact lenses is so much easier than wearing glasses, as once they’re in for the day you don’t have to take them out again. Turn reading back into a treat again, without the fiddly bits.
2) It’s Critical for Safe Driving
The relationship between having good eyesight and our health couldn’t cross over more than it does when it comes to safe driving.
Having good eyesight is absolutely critical to safe driving, so much so that if you have poor eyesight when learning to drive you’ll either be told you have to invest in contact lenses or glasses before you can possible start taking lessons, or you simply won’t ever be allowed to be a driver. Of course, the main problem occurs when people with previously good eyesight start to lose it, yet are still out on the roads driving because there’s nobody to tell them otherwise.
3) It Has a Positive Effect on Your Overall Health
As was already touched upon above, if you’re in poor health overall this will have a detrimental affect on the health of your entire body. Well, the same is (partially) true of having good eyesight, as if you have good eyesight you’re less likely to put yourself in dangerous situations that you clearly would never have put yourself in if you’d been able to see properly, and therefore avoid the situation altogether.
Though these are by no means direct affects of having good eyesight, it’s clear that having a better understanding of your surroundings is going to help you in an unending number of ways, the same way that having good hearing will be better for your health than having poor hearing.
4) It Prevents Avoidable Problems
As you grow older it’s common for your eyesight to deteriorate, which can present you with a number of problems which would have been entirely avoidable to your younger, better sighted self.
One of these avoidable problems is not being able to read the dosage amount, and the frequency in which you should take each dosage on your medicine bottles. These bottles print their instructions in very small letters, letters even a fully-sighted person would struggle to read – yet to a person with poor eyesight comprehension is nearly impossible.
In conclusion, one of the most important senses we have is that of the ability to see, yet some of us are unfortunate to have poor eyesight that means we miss out on many of the benefits that good eyesight brings, unless we choose to take our eyesight (and our health) into our own hands and look into the benefits wearing contact lenses can bring us.
