Specifically, the color of the eye, particularly the retina, can visibly change when a person is suffering from conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. This affirmation reinforced the key takeaway from Day One: eyesight plays a pivotal role in our lives, and its neglect can severely affect one’s most important activities.
Speaker Highlights: The Three Pillars of Eye Health
The symposium featured three expert presentations that offered diverse perspectives on maintaining good eyesight, moving from diet to traditional views and community action.
1. Eat Right for Good Eyesight (Mr. Wilson Gbeku)
Mr. Wilson Gbeku provided a focused presentation on the powerful link between Nutrition and Eye Health. He explained that:
- Sugary drinks increase oxidation in the body, which can damage delicate eye cells.
- Antioxidants are vital, acting to “mop filth” and clear waste to maintain good eyesight.
- Vitamin A-based foods (like sweet potato and oranges) offer protection to the eye and aid in collagen production, which helps the eye move smoothly.
- Vitamin C-based foods (citrus fruits, vegetables, kiwi, mango, papaya) are essential for maintaining the good health of the Cornea and the Sclera.
- Vitamin E acts as an antioxidant that cleans up metabolic “mess” produced by the body to prevent eye damage. This can be sourced from healthy oils and nuts.
- Vitamin D plays a role in preventing mascular degeneration and helps form the crucial film of tear that prevents eye dryness.
- AREDS (combinations of Lutein and vitamins) are used to correct specific eye problems, as eye cells can sometimes attack and damage each other.
- Omega-three acids possess anti-inflammation properties, preventing cell damage. Mr. Gbeku cautioned that smoking is a major factor that causes damage to eye cells.
2. Your Eyesight: Traditional Views and Care (Mr. Douglas Frimpong Nuroh)
Mr. Douglas Frimpong Nuroh offered a refreshing perspective by discussing traditional views and care for eyesight. He reiterated that the eye is a window to our health and life, and poor eyesight disrupts daily activities, potentially halting one’s progress in life.
Traditional beliefs highlighted in his talk include:
- Strain and lack of sleep negatively affect the health of the eyes.
- Old age is naturally believed to deteriorate the proper functioning of the eye.
- Traditional remedies, such as using clean water to rinse the face and the belief in breastfeeding mothers dropping breast milk on the eye to relieve pain, were discussed as age-old methods of care.
Mr. Nuroh concluded by emphasizing that excessive time spent on phones and other gadgets is a primary modern cause of eye problems across all age groups, stressing that proper care must be given to our eyes to achieve our life goals without vision becoming an obstacle.
3. Community Strategies for Eye Health (Dr. Nana Agyei Daniel)
