Eyes are so transparent that through them the soul is seen. (Theophile Gautier)
There is no doubt that eyes are the mirror of our soul. We should agree with this quote that vision is the most important part of us. Poor eyesight is a very common problem. Our eyes are likely to indulge in multiple conditions that can cause damage or cause permanent vision loss.
Defect in our eyes are of two types; far sight and near sight. Many of us don’t bother to find the permanent cure for these problems; either we compromise with it or start wearing glasses or contact lenses.
