Art requires one to have a great observation and then put it on the paper. This is only possible with a good vision. We maintain our cars, tools diligently. Similarly Eyes are our primary tool to interact with the world around us and this is not just limited to art.
For someone with a reasonably good vision during the early years, it is crucial that they do not take it for granted. He needs to visit a eye doctor in case of a sudden vision deterioration but except that it is his responsibility to take good care of his eyes.
In a nutshell - awareness of self and your surroundings, sound sleep, ability to manage stress, fitness routine, eye care, diet choices, water intake, sufficient lighting, spending time outside in natural environment, yoga. We see the world through our eyes so we owe this much to them. The benefits of investing in yourself are multifold.
The one thing that plays a role in vision deterioration is HOW WE RESPOND TO STRESS
societal expectations ( society has its own ways to reward or punish us based on what it expects from us. It does not care about our inner-growth )
our tendency to fit in and thereby giving in into societal expectations
not being able to be your real self
depending on external validation or approval
self-victimization
self-righteousness follow by judging others
living in the past
day-dreaming
carrying grudges
carrying burden of our knowledge and falsifying others wisdom or experiences
rigidity
Life is simple, until we complicate it. Stay healthy, keep it simple.
Some points to remember
Physical vision is a result of two main factors - our emotional state and our inner vision
Our negative thoughts about ourselves and the world as to how we perceive the external reality program our subconscious memories and emotional decisions. They in turn provide affect our vision in a negative way
At a physical level, bad vision is due to decreased flexibility of the ciliary body, manifesting differently in a person with far vision or near vision.
Stress Secondary physical tension - localized in the chest, shoulders neck, face and jaw limits free movement and functioning of the eyes.
