Look After Your Eyes

‘Eyes are the mirror of our body, literally’ Conscious leadership is about having the best life you can and Julie is talking to Ferris Hartun a man who is a ‘wonder about eyes’. They discuss some of the common issues with eyes and the ways in which we can take care of our eyes to make sure they stay healthy. Our eyes are vitally important and in this episode, you can discover more about how you can look after your eyes and the role they play as indicators of what is going on elsewhere in your body. It is surprising what you can tell about someone just by looking at their eyes. KEY TAKEAWAYS The blood vessels of the eye are indicators of what is going on elsewhere in the body. Having your eyes tested can be used as a preventative strategy or provide early warning of for a range of diseases. Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) actually shows the structure of the retina, what’s beneath the surface of the eye. Glaucoma is a condition that affects the optic nerve. The nerve fibres in a glaucomatous eye slowly die resulting in a gradual loss of sight. We all have blind spots but our brain makes up something to fill the space making the gradual loss of sight through glaucoma difficult for the sufferer to recognise until after significant permanent damage We think our bodies are symmetrical but they are not and our eyes are not the same as each other so it’s vital that eyes are tested regularly and the recommendations followed. We are all in front of screens for extended amounts of time and taking regular twenty-second breaks can be very beneficial. If you block your tear ducts with excess makeup, you are potentially impeding the ability of your eyes to clean themselves. Our eyes deteriorate as we get older but it’s vital that we look after them throughout our lives attending regular checks so that any issues are identified in the early stages. BEST MOMENTS ‘There is no way I’m going to lose my sight if it’s preventable’ ‘Generally speaking, as part of the ageing process we lose our ability to focus up close’ ‘When you are in front of a computer you can sometimes forget to blink and this means the eye surface becomes dry’ VALUABLE RESOURCES The Life-Changing Magic of Setting Goals book by Julie Hogbin The Authorities - Julie Hogbin: Powerful Wisdom from Leaders in the field book by Julie Hogbin, Raymond Aaron, Marci Shimoff, Dr John Gray ABOUT THE HOST Julie Hogbin I started my career within the accountancy profession, moving on into auditing, then Learning & Development where I have spent over 30 years.
