Why are my Glasses giving me a Headache?

April 13, 2012 By 1 Comment

My new prescription eyeglasses is giving me a headache! Ouch! :( Even if I only wear it for a few seconds my head starts to ache. I decided to get a new pair of prescription eyeglasses since I am  nearsighted. I can only see well up close but have problems seeing objects farther away. I’m having some trouble in reading the words on signs and I can’t clearly see people from afar.

I went to the Optometrist and had an eye exam. My eye doctor told me that I do have a high eye grade so I need to wear an eyeglasses in order to correct my vision. I’m actually not getting used in wearing eyeglasses and this is my first time in wearing this kind of glasses so I think this is the reason why I’m having a terrible headache. My eyes are still adjusting since my eye muscles are getting used in relaxing.  I guess after having to squint for such a long time and  all of a sudden is a big adjustment.I spent the first few hours taking my glasses on and off to compare what I could see and this resulted in a nasty headache.

But the good thing about my eyeglasses is that I can clearly see the beauty of the world. I can even see those little tiny specs, dots or dust on the floor. Simple things like leaves on a tree and blades of grass looks amazing.

My Optometrist recommended only using my glasses for a few hours at a time for the first week to reduce these symptoms. If you are experiencing these symptoms too, I recommend only using your glasses when you need to until you are accustomed to them. In my case, I will only wear this glasses for distant viewing, not for work up close.

June 5, 2011 By Leave a Comment

Who would like to have whiter and brighter teeth? For sure all of us do. But how do you take care of your teeth? Do you brush your teeth 3 times a day or do you often visit your dentist?

Speaking about teeth, the first thing that comes to my mind is my hubby. He is so conscious with his teeth. He loves and cares for his teeth so much. I could still remember when we are still lovers he had lots of plan for his teeth.

He plans to have a teeth cleaning on his dentist  and plans to put braces in it.  He’s  also been using teeth whitening products such as whitening strips and toothpaste and even in tablet form. I actually tried one of these products and it also worked for me.

Teeth whitening is indeed a safe and great way for many of us who wants to get a beautiful smile. Teeth whitening products help to get rid away of stains that are on the teeth and whitens the color of the enamel. Although the results may depend on its usage, but teeth whiteners can be used at home and they are easy to use.

March 28, 2011 By 1 Comment

Well it seems that its too early for me to say things about retirement but I know I’m gonna use it which will serve as my future benefit soon. I believe that social security disability insurance is a kind of program that will provide support  during periods of short-term disabilities that includes  my compensation, insurance, savings and investments.

I will check out more of this valuable information online on how I could qualify for Social Security retirement benefits, about my family’s benefit based on my earnings record as well as those things that I need to know on how I could apply for it.

I will also ask my mom about this since it will also benefit her a few years now when she will  decide to resign for her work.  I’m also checking out other  sources of retirement income and post-retirement concerns such as housing, medical care, and leisure activities.

Consult Your Dermatologist First!

February 19, 2011 By Leave a Comment

A friend of mine got some few nodules before she had her period and she’s worried that it might take forever to let it go away. She was asking me for an effective treatment for nodular acne that isn’t intense. I advised her to consult and seek treatment from a dermatologist since they have many alternatives and treatments to offer.

We all know that nodular acne has a very real possibility of developing permanent scarring if the condition is not treated correctly so you must be careful if you decide to use a natural treatment for severe nodular acne and should certainly consult your dermatologist before proceeding. Although nodular acne is normally treated with topical creams and gels, together with antibiotics, but this is not a simple case of applying an antibacterial cream that’s why finding a suitable natural treatment is not easy and you run the risk of scarring if you do not attack the root cause of your nodular acne quickly and effectively.

If you do wish to look for a natural alternative cure then you may be best to do this in combination with traditional medication and this is something which you should discuss carefully with your dermatologist.

Find the Right Acne Product That Works for You

February 4, 2011 By 2 Comments

It is a common ailment specially among teenagers where pimples and acne usually occurs. I am actually one of those teenagers who used to have an ugly looking face because of so many huge red pimples that grew all over my face. I don’t even want to go out of the house because I am ashamed of my horrible acne-prone face. And because I wanted to get rid of those acne, Ive tried so many acne treatments that I usually saw on TV. Thus, I ended up having an infected face where my young skin got irritated with all those harsh treatments and ingredients that I put on my face.

I should have use the mildest formula that’s gentle on my skin that also works effectively on me. And if I was given an immediate advice to go to a dermatologist at that time, it would never happen because I know the dermatologist will assist me in finding the right acne products that work for me. Many products that are advertised are being the ultimate solution against acne.

And because of that, I already learned my lesson that I shouldn’t trust those enticing commercials that’s claiming to be the most effective treatment for acne just because a product works for celebrities. What works for one person may not work for another. And the best thing to do is to have a test where the specific ingredients will agree with my skin type.

When Eyestrain Strikes

January 29, 2011 By 3 Comments

Aside from having a blurred vision, headache usually happens when eyestrain strikes in me. As much as Ive wanted to do my blog hopping and giving out some comment on friend’s posts, I can’t do it because it feels like my head is breaking! I just keep on massaging those little veins that connects from my head to my eyes until I feel asleep. This usually happens even if I just take a glance at my pc monitor for awhile without using my eyeglasses. It’s so painful and annoying at the same time.

But what can I do? I’m already having a computer vision syndrome just like any other people who used to spend several hours in front of a computer every day. So in order for me to alleviate this problem, I just need to wear my computer eyeglasses every time I face in front of my computer even if I just take a little glance on it.  Whoa! poor me. :(

Prescription Contact Lenses

January 3, 2011 By 10 Comments

I finally have my own pair of  prescription contact lenses. Ive been complaining  about having a blurry vision because its getting worse  everyday.  The eye doctor examined my eyes  and  told me that I do have a high grade  and it should be corrected immediately.  I do have an eyeglasses but I find it uncomfortable to wear that’s why I decided to  try using contact lenses.  I am using a disposable contact lenses and even though its quite a hassle thing to do where I have to remove it every day, I still prefer using it than wearing an eyeglasses.

I do have a Myopia or Nearsightedness vision problem. I find it hard to read highway signs and seeing other objects and people at a distance but  I can see  it up close that’s why my eye doctor advised me to wear these prescription contact lenses.

I consider prescription contact lenses  a good and  better choice. They are a better option to those ugly and uncomfortable glasses. Wearing contact lenses not only enhances your personality but it also adds to your looks specially  if they are colored ones.

I know that most people who are doing works in front of computer every day also ends up having some eye problems. If you are working in front of your computer for longer period of time, take a break after every hour. Take a rest and walk around before returning to your work.

Practicing a good and healthy diet  is also an effective method in caring for our eyes.  So be sure to include nutritious food in your daily meal specially those foods that are rich in vitamins such as fish, milk and vegetables. Drinking a lot of water will also help our eyes to stay wet and healthy through the nutrient that we consumed. Eye care tips is  really an important thing that you have to consider if you love your eyes and you want to take care of it.
