EYES, EYES BABY

by Augie Monica A. Miclat

We say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I can’t agree more.

The saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder tells us that beauty is subjective. Beauty’s definition depends on who is looking.

But this time, ‘Beauty is in the eye of the beholder’ will have a completely new meaning. At this point, let us say that beauty is definitely in the ‘eyes’. Translation: When your eyes are beautiful, you are beautiful.

People are born with different physical attributes. No pair of eyes is exactly the same. Some may be chinky-eyed or the slit eyes while others may be doe-eyed and you can also find yourself those who are in between. Others are blue-eyed or green-eyed and while brown-eyed.

Whatever shape and your eyes may take, it is a must that we keep them bright beautiful for they are great even though they are small.

How do we keep our eyes fresh and appealing? How can we maintain their natural glow? Simple. DO NOT OVERUSE THEM.

Do not stay under the sun for too long. Wear shades when the sun is hot and out, especially now that El Niño is here.

To the bookworms out there, read in a well-lit place.

To the techies, change the setting of your computers. Be aware that too much brightness is bad. You can also have those screens that cover your screen and lessen the harmful rays that could reach your eyes.

Eat foods that are rich in beta carotene. Our body turns beta-carotene into vitamin A which reduces the risk of macular degeneration and promotes good vision.

Sleep tight. Do not give your eyes less than eight hours of sleep. We do not want dark eye circles and eyebags, do we?

Give your eyes some rest that they deserve. Keep in mind that anything overused will have a defect. So learn to take good care of those windows to your soul.
