20.01.2022 Free apps that remind you to take a break from your computer or phone. I usually recommend the Eye Care 20 20 20 app - every 20 minutes, look at least 20 feet (6m) away for 20 seconds (and breathe!)
20.01.2022 Knowing that some of the children that I work with could really benefit from taking a moment to connect with their bodies and be truly still, I asked Alexis Stewart if she would record a meditation for them to do at home. She not only recorded one for children, but another two for adults who equally need space to be still in this non-stop crazy busy world. See her gorgeous web page for a snippet of what is available - you may even choose to purchase one this holiday season, and rest deeply.
19.01.2022 A British teenager has gone blind after developing nutritional optic neuropathy by eating a diet of only junk food for years. Since primary school, he ate nothi...ng but hot chips, white bread, potato chips, ham and sausage and by the time he was properly diagnosed, his vision was permanently impaired Bristol Eye Hospital doctors said the fussy eater visited doctors at age 14 and was treated for anaemia and low vitamin B levels but by 15 he'd developed hearing loss and vision problems, and by 17 he had gone blind. They said nutritional optic neuropathy should be considered in any patient with unexplained vision symptoms and poor diet, regardless of BMI. While potentially reversible if caught early, if left untreated, it leads to permanent blindness, their case report warned. https://annals.org//2749497/blindness-caused-junk-food-diet

07.01.2022 Up to 90% of people who have had a traumatic brain injury (such as concussion) have been found to experience post-trauma visual complications, such as blurred vision, sensitivity to light, reading difficulty, headaches with visual tasks, and difficulties with eye movements.
