Protect your vision on time

Computer-use eyestrain

Staring at your computer screen, smart phone, video game or other digital devices for long periods won’t cause permanent eye damage, but your eyes may feel dry and tired. Some people also experience headaches or motion sickness when viewing 3-D, which may indicate that the viewer has a problem with focusing or depth perception.

What are causes?

• Normally, humans blink about 18 times a minute, but studies show we blink half that often while using computers and other digital screen devices, whether for work or play.
• Extended reading, writing or other intensive “near work” can also cause eyestrain.

What to do:

• Sit about 25 inches from the computer screen and position the screen so your eye gaze is slightly downward.
• Reduce glare from the screen by lighting the area properly; use a screen filter if needed.
• Post a note that says “Blink!” on the computer as a reminder.
• Every 20 minutes, shift your eyes to look at an object at least 20 feet away, for at least 20 seconds: the “20-20-20” rule.
• Use artificial tears to refresh your eyes when they feel dry.
• Take regular breaks from computer work, and try to get enough sleep at night.

Computer-use eyestrain can be made worse by:

Sleep deprivation. When you get less sleep than you need, your eyes may become irritated.

During sleep our eyes rest for an extended period and are replenished by nutrients. Ongoing eye irritation can lead to swelling and infection, especially if you wear contact lenses.

• If you have to be at your computer for a marathon work session, take regular rest breaks or “power naps,” if possible.
• Apply a washcloth soaked in warm water to tired, dry eyes (with eyes closed).
• Use tired or sore eyes as a signal that it’s time to stop working and get some rest or sleep.

Incorrect contact lens use. If you wear contact lenses, it’s important that you use and care for them properly — especially if you use a computer and other digital-screen devices often. This helps avoid eye irritation, swelling, infection and vision problems.

• Give your eyes a break: wear your glasses!
• Don’t sleep in your contact lenses, even if they are labeled “extended wear.”
• Always use good cleaning practices.

There are some important things to keep in mind when cleaning your contact lenses. You should:

• Avoid touching the lenses with water; use fresh solution every time for cleaning and storing.
• Rub your contacts when you clean them, even if you use a no-rub solution.
• Clean your storage case regularly (with fresh solution, not water) and replace it every 2 to 3 months.
• Stop wearing your contact lenses and see an ophthalmologist (Eye M.D.) right away if you develop any of these problems: Eyes that are red, blurry, watery, sensitive to light, or sore; eye swelling or discharge.

Belgrade Stories…

Whether you are coming to Belgrade for the first or the umpteenth time, your attention will certainly attract Kalemegdan – fortress which proudly rises above the confluence of the Sava and Danube rivers.

The story of Mehmet Pasha’s Fountain

At Kalemegdan, hidden a bit from the main pedestrian routes, in the shade of plane trees, the fountain of Mehmet Pasha Sokolović is located. It was built in the second half of the sixteenth century as a memorial to a very important event from this period.

Namely, Sultan Suleiman in 1566 led the great battle to conquer the current Hungarian fortress named Siget. The first sultan’s vizier was then Mehmet Pasha Sokolović.

The Turkish army was more numerous, but the battle protracted and soldiers` military morale was declining. Unfortunately, Sultan Suleiman dies of natural death in his tent. Mehmet Pashal continued to give all commands, and, in order to avoid spreading the news of the death of the sultan that would endanger the outcome of the battle, Pasha decided to make up the dead sultan and drove him through the Turkish camp every day. The battle ended with the victory of the Turks and the vizier sent a horseman to Istanbul to call the Sultan Selim`s son to come to Belgrade, to Kalemegdan to meet there.

At the place where the fountain is today, Selim learned that his father was dead and that he becomes Sultan instead of the Sultan.

An important event during that time, of course, but more important is that the faithful servant Mehmet Pasha – from the moment of death of the Sultan Selim to the surrendering of authorities – made decisions independently and always faithfully to Turkish empire. He had no dilemma whether to serve the dead sultan as best as he can or not. All this is interesting knowing that the vizier was originally Serb, who was taken as a Janissary to Turkey to serve there.

The fountain was erected by faithful vizier to enhance passengers and curiously surprise them with an interesting story.

Therefore, without a doubt, visit this fountain at Kalemegdan: you might find that a tree that loomed over it can discover some more unusual secret stories!
