We want to say thank you to all who continue to support us in diverse ways, reading our blog, engaging, sharing our content, funding our projects etc. God Bless you all.

Today we want to do a short tutorial on how to quickly evaluate your Ocular health even before seeking professional health care from any of the eyecare facilities available to you.


A Simple uniocular test

Naturally man sees with what we call binocular vision, in other words with both eyes. This has a lot of benefits to us in so many different ways the most common one which you may be able to relate been the compounding effect of vision.

What happens is that because we are used to seeing with both eyes we hardly notice when something is wrong with one eye. Most often than not when something is wrong with me eye the better eye overshadows or overpower the other making it difficult to spot.

This is not the case in tropia cases though as it is quite conspicuous from the word go and may even cause Diplopia in many cases which is a worrying symptom that would get a patient to attend the eye clinic immediately.

And so a simple test that we recommend for you to check your eye everyday is to close one eye and try to see things and observe any differences in vision with regards to the other eye. Once you do this alternate and perform the same test on the initially closed eye.

You may notice slight differences in vision from each individual eye which often tend to be normal as the two eyes are hardly ever the same however if you feel like the difference is quite massive and disturbing please do well to visit you Optometrist as soon as possible for comprehensive assessment.

This test will also help you identify when some goes wrong with one eye quickly so you may seek immediate care. You might just end up saving your sight from unprecedented issues.


Conclusion

Self care is of utmost importance and is the best first aid you can render yourself. Also no healthcare provider can know you and your systems better than you know yourself.
