A blink of an eye, a moment – it doesn’t take much longer to get a first optical picture. And already our eyes wander curiously checking to the next object of our interest. Our most important sensory organ is a master of ultra-fast information intake. It sends ten million optical signals per second via a direct data path to the brain for evaluation. This is not stress for the eyes, but on the contrary healthy functional training.
It becomes exhausting when they are forced to stare at the PC or TV screen for five hours or more every day. Then there are 17,000 pupil reactions on top. At the same time, the blinking rate of the eyelids drops from 20 to 7 times per minute. The protective tear fluid is no longer sufficiently distributed over the cornea. “This is how the ‘office eye syndrome’ can develop, from which 31 percent of working people suffer,” explains ophthalmologist Dr. Ulla Hausherr-Baumüller, Arnsberg. “A foreign body feeling arises. The light radiation from the screens can even damage the macula, the point of sharpest vision, and thus the visual acuity.”
Our eye care program keeps your eyes fit into old age. A couple of blinks, a bit of a relaxing massage andTolfioow substances – for brilliant moments.
