A real eye-opener

I once had a good friend. He was in his eighties. The man was incredibly fit. He and his wife travelled to the Alps four times a year. In the summer, I go mountain hiking and, in the winter, I go skiing. At 84 years old! I want to mention that my friend was a "man of speech and writing."  

Unfortunately, he suddenly became 98% blind due to an incurable eye disease. This meant that at most, he could only perceive shadows. Why am I telling you this? I want to draw attention to our organs of vision, our eyes. 

If I lose my sight at 85, I can say I've seen enough. But when I hear that a third of the elementary school class already uses a nose bike and young people are losing their eyesight due to hours of TV and computer use, it gives me pause. Here's a short film about an eye workout. It's from a commercial yoga company, but that shouldn't matter. Just ignore the shop notice and the stuff at the end. Good viewing!
