Of all the sense organs, the eye is most vital. Without sight, all the worldly gains and material achievement are of little use; the life becomes burdensome and meaningless. Eyes are invaluable.

Yet, what do we do to keep our eyes healthily and to maintain good vision? We do almost nothing. Most of us do not even realize that something can be done for the eyes. Indeed, we have entrusted the work of eye-care to the Almighty. If at all something wrong happens to our eyes or sight, we curse the fate, and little realising that it is the result of our own carelessness and apathy.

We save for the rainy day. We insure our life against disasters we ceaselessly try to obtain a good body, in which God resides. We cannot hope for good eyes without good health. 'Good eyes in a good body' is an apt idiom.

The advent of modern civilsation has necessitated the exaction of various type of work from our eyes. The eyes are excessively taxed. Our reading and writing activities continue unabated even during the late hours. Such incessant reading or writing deprives the eyes of their legitimate rest and relaxation. It strains our delicate eyes.

Advertisements have led some people to resort to the use of certain eye-drops or ointments. But it would be too much to expect anything really worthwhile of such drops. We should pay attention to the correct ways of using our eyes and develop such habits as would maintain the eye-health.

It is true that eyes are meant for seeing. But their excessive use must be stopped. At the same time, we should learn the methods to keep eyes and the body strong and healthy. Without good health, one cannot hope for good eyes.

Remember that roots of eye-troubles like cataract, glaucoma, retinal diseases, etc. are found in ill-health. If one wants to stay away from such troubles, one should care for one's body. Good health depends upon the right diet and vigorous exercise. One should continuously strive to maintain the powers of the digestive system at peak level. If the body along with the eyes is cared for, one can hope of perfect sight even in old age.
