The old saying “A sound mind in a sound body” goes a long way, and people today will agree to it more than ever. Our ancestors were stronger and lived a longer life because of better habits. A parent can never give a child a better wealth than a health body and a sound mind. With every form of entertainment available today the extent of physical activity has come down significantly.

Negative impact on an individual these days on account of these practices is pretty high, and one area of negative impact in terms of the body is the eyes. Eye defects are caused these days with increased strain on the eyes due to increased exposure to television. Some people are unfortunate to have eye defects on account of hereditary. Common eye defects like short sight, long sight and color blindness are prevalent among the people these days. There are optical devices present that can easily correct short sight and long sight.

Eye defects tend to differ with people to a certain degree with some of them having defects in one eye while not in the other. There are devices designed to address this problem like the monocle, which is different from a monocular. A monocular like the Night Vision Monoculars weighs half as much as the binocular and helps in viewing long distance objects. Monocle on the other hand was designed in the 1700’s to help improve the quality of vision in one eye by applying a correction factor to that eye.

There is one thing that we need to bear in mind, any level of indoor entertainment that we give our family will not have the same benefits to the health like the external sports and games which adds a lot of benefit to the body and mind. Healthy fruits and vegetables also ensure that the body’s resistance system works better in fighting any new diseases and illness.
