Old habits die hard!



Mothers can still be seen applying `kaajal' to both eyes of a child or the eyes of several children with the same `suramchu' (oblivious of the chance of the passage of a disease from one eye to the other).

Innumerable persons can still be found waiting for deterioration of their vision to `counting fingers' level in the mistaken belief of the ripening of their `cataract', as many-a-times they may be suffering from an entirely different ocular ailment (otherwise, too, cataract surgery can now safely be done at any stage of the opacification of the lens inside the eye...in replacement with an intra ocular lens - IOL), and

Almost daily you can come across a person borrowing near vision glasses from someone else who may be a family-member, a friend, or even a co-worker or passer-by (forgetting that refractions mostly differ in two individuals and even in two eyes of the same individual).

Eyes are one of the most wonderful gift given to us, so we should take care of the eyes while were young.
If we already knew that "kaajal" is not good for us, we should avoid in using this for the sake of our future specially for our children who is innocent and know nothing about using this. Hopefully the government have an action to this and lead parents to act right about this.

Poor children, they don't even know what their parents doing to them. Please don't do this to your children and just protect their future with healthy eyes and vision.

We from Eye doctors East Side NY are hoping that this will stop and just turn your priority in other beliefs specially for the sake of your children.
