HAPPY GUDI PADWA




Good morning,  The lock down period has been extended to 3 more weeks.  It was very important step to Flatten the curve of the Coronavirus spread as Social distancing is very important at this stage.

Many times,   being isolated from every one can create lot of anxiety... Existence anxiety,  as to how long this is going to last,  Financial anxiety, as to crashing of the stock market, pay cuts and when you have to continue to pay your rent and other expenses,  Social anxiety, where you want to meet your family and friends,  you have all the time but can't..

How to deal with all this?

* Follow a regular routine,  include some form of yoga and meditation in your schedule
* Restart the abandoned hobby for which you had no time
* Read a book, write a journal,  pen down your memoirs
* Play with your kids,  do some craft activities, paint.. Tell them all that you have been wanting to tell them and never had the time earlier
* Talk to your family and friends, keep the communication channels open,  it's so reassuring that someone cares for you
* Sort out all your pending paperwork and reorganise your files

These are tough times, but will surely pass,  keep the faith,  keep the hope and of course follow all the precautions.

STAY AT HOME AND MAKE THE BEST USE OF YOUR TIME AT HOME,  STAY SAFE

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY GUDI PADWA

Hope the New year brings lots of new hope and good health to all.

Dr Hemalatha and Dr Vidyashankar.

CATARACT IN CHILDREN : RED ALERTS THAT YOUR CHILD NEEDS AN EYE CHECK UP

CATARACT IN CHILDREN During the course of my practice, I see many children who complain of eye strain, not able to see the black board clearly, making lot of mistakes in school while copying from the board. Many a times, the parents feel that the child is complaining only to seek attention or to avoid studies or he just wants to wear glasses because his friend got spectacles.... But in most of the cases, the child does have an underlying cause. Though refractive errors is the most common cause of visual disability in children... Some children also have a cataract in their eyes. Cataract is any opacity in lens of the eye, which prevents the light from entering the eye and leads to decrease in visual acuity and impaired contrast sensitivity. Cataract in children could be present from birth or could be acquired.

Redness of Eyes could be serious : Do Not Self Medicate !!

  Redness of eyes is a common symptom which could be due to various causes. It is usually caused due to allergy, eye fatigue, over-wearing contact lenses, or common eye infections (conjunctivitis). However, redness of the eye sometimes can signal a more serious eye condition or disease, such as glaucoma. Indiscriminate use of steroid eye drops or self medication can have serious side effects and could be vision threatening. Do consult with your eye doctor to determine the cause of your red eyes and receive the most effective treatment options. # staysafe   # noselfmedication   # eyecare   # drhemalathavidyashankar
