Sun’s rays to blame for Eye Damage

It’s commonly known that exposure to the sun can cause skin damage. However, it’s not only the skin that can suffer from the increased levels of ultraviolet radiation to which we are exposed during the summer months; our eyes can be at great risk too.

Prolonged exposure to UV rays can be to blame for various eye disorders, including cataracts and even cancer.

UV radiation levels are three times higher in June, July and August than during the winter. Worse still, between 10am and 3pm and at high altitudes such as ski resorts, the levels are amplified.

The Effects of UV Light

Exposure to intense levels of UV light, especially that which is reflected off snow, water or sand, can result in the surface of the eye being burnt, just like the skin. Whilst the burns are usually temporary, they can still produce irritating and uncomfortable symptoms such as:

• Swelling of the eyes

• A ‘gritty’ feeling in the eyes

• Excessive watering and blinking

• An inability to handle bright lights

• The possibility of ‘snow blindness’, a form of temporary blindness

However, long term exposure to UV light can have far more dangerous connotations, such as damage to the cornea and conjunctiva, as well as the lens and retina.

This damage can lead to the development of cataracts; cancer of the conjunctiva (the membrane that covers the eye); and skin cancer of the eyelids.

Research

Additionally, and perhaps more worryingly, research has shown that prolonged exposure to the sun could lead to age-related macular degeneration, a sight-related disorder that can lead to blindness.

The research was carried out at the University of Wisconsin Medical School in Madison, USA. Over 3,600 patients between the ages of 43 and 86 were monitored for five years, and 2,700 for 10 years.

Those participants who spent more than five hours a day in the sun during their teens and thirties and as the study commenced were found to be three times more likely to develop increased retinal pigment, a trait associated with age-related macular degeneration.

These same patients were also found to be twice as likely to develop early age-related macular degeneration over a period of 10 years compared to those who spent less than two hours a day in the sun.

However, and quite importantly, results also showed that those participants who spent the most time in the sun stood around a 50% lower risk of developing age-related macular degeneration symptoms when they wore sunglasses and hats for at least half the time spent in the sun.

How to protect the eyes from sun damage

1. Wear sunglasses

The most obvious - and most effective - way to protect the eyes from UV rays.

Choose sunglasses that offer at least 95% UV protection with a lens tint that blocks 80% of transmissible light. Don’t opt for lenses that block any more than 92% of light however, because this can affect the ability to see properly.

Choose a close fitting pair of sunglasses, with lenses that sit close to the eyes. Wrap-around frames prevent light entering the eyes from all angles and make a wise choice for those who will be spending a number of hours in the sun. For holidaymakers, polarised lenses offer the added benefit of reducing glare from water, ski slopes and sand.

Lens colour also makes a difference: grey lenses are ideal for driving because they do not distort primary colours. Green lenses are good on overcast days as they allow the maximum amount of useful light to reach the eyes. For better protection against glare and more pronounced detail, choose brown lenses.

Most prescriptive sunglasses these days have built in UVA and UVB protection. Check for the word filtered on the tag. Transitional lenses that are clear indoors and dark outdoors form another option for the prescription lens wearer.

2. Wear a hat

A broad brimmed hat can further reduce exposure to UV rays by shading the eyes.

3. Wear UV blocking contact lenses alongside sunglasses

UV blocking contact lenses can help protect against the transmission of harmful UV rays to the cornea and inner eye. However, there is no evidence as yet that wearing UV blocking contact lenses reduces the risk of developing cataracts or preventing other eye disorders.

These lenses are not a replacement for UV absorbing sunglasses, but, when worn with sunglasses, they can block a large amount of the UV rays that reach the eyes through the open spaces around sunglasses.

4. Minimise exposure to UV rays

Reduce time spent in the sun between 10am and 3pm, and during the summer months. Additionally, avoid sun lamps and tanning beds.

5. Watch what you eat

A diet rich in a variety of fruit and vegetables will provide a boost of antioxidants which can promote good eye health. At times of increased exposure to the sun, such as when on holiday abroad, ensure a good amount of these foods are included in the daily diet.

White Hat SEO - Choose a Solid Keyword Phrase

Research your keyword phrase. Choose a solid keyword phrase that accurately represents your page and use it in your Meta tags. An example of Meta keywords:

• Content

Black Hat SEO - Hidden Content

There are many ways to hide content on your site. All of them are black hat SEO methods.

Hidden content includes white text full of keywords on a white background. Another black hat SEO method is using comment tags to hide keywords. For example:

–hidden content, hidden content is bad, hidden content in comment tags is bad

White Hat SEO - Quality Content

Content that targets a strong, related keyword phrase on each page wins every time. After you’ve chosen your keyword phrase, use it consistently throughout the page. For example, a page with a Meta title of “White Hat SEO - White Hat SEO methods” could have this first paragraph of content:

White hat SEO is the key to effective search engine optimization. If you’re not using white hat SEO methods, none of your SEO techniques will be effective.

• Linking

Black Hat SEO - Link Farming

The idea behind link farming is that you exchange links with other websites to boost your site’s rank in search results. Search engines like Google examine how many sites are linking to yours when determining rank.

With a link farm, you’ve traded your link with many sites for the sole purpose of increasing your site’s search rank. In effect, you’re trying to fool the search engine into thinking your site is more popular than it really is.

White Hat SEO - Inbound Linking

When someone links to your blog post or a page on your site within their content, you have a quality inbound link. Unlike with black hat link farming, inbound linking is not a link list traded for the sake of boosting your search results.

Creating content that is compelling attracts site visitors. It also captures the attention of other webmasters who are looking to create their own content with contextual links to your site.

Marcia Kruger asked:


Here are a few really simple ways to prevent sun damaged skin and ways to reverse it because in the past, no one really thought of the ramifications you got from all that sunlight. You wore the sunscreen and hat but now you’re noticing that it wasn’t enough and your skin is showing some wear and tear.

Here are four simple ways to prevent sun damage:

1. Shade Your Face — wear a pair of sunglasses and a hat.

2. Stop Smoking — if you smoke, try to kick the habit because tobacco ranks second, only to sunlight, in its awful effects on the skin.

3. Avoid Tanning Salons — if you think that tanning beds are safe…you’re out luck. UV light is all the same whether it’s from the sun or tanning bed bulbs. Basically, no tan is a safe tan except if you want a spray-on tan but you have to remember that it doesn’t stop you from getting a sunburn.

4. Wear Sunscreen — sunscreen has come a long way with SPF ratings…the higher the SPF the better. And, not just when you’re at the beach but all the time.

All that sunlight we expose our skin to makes you wonder if there is anything that can help restore or even reverse sun damaged skin that’s showing up in the form of fine lines, winkles and sags.

UV light can be cruel but thankfully there’s a lot we can do to protect and restore damaged skin. I personally found, after researching skin care products that have been clinically tested, an excellent moisturizer. Now this is not your brand name advertised type, but you do need to know about effective products and their ingredients so you know what to look for.

It’s important to avoid synthetic ingredients since they contain allergens and irritants (preservatives and fragrances) and learn about natural ingredients that give your skin the benefits of vitamins and minerals without the risk of irritation. The first ingredient that helps sun damaged skin is called phytessence wakame which is an extract from a Japanese sea kelp. This natural ingredient is rich in sodium, iron, potassium, calcium and vitamins. It inhibits the activity of hyaluronidase and also protects your skin against damage caused by UV rays. All its health-giving properties maintain your skin’s moisture balance keeping it looking firm and healthy.

Another natural ingredient is called Cynergy TK. Because it is rich in functional keratin, the keratin protein plays a vital structural role in skin because it can be readily-absorbed by the skin. Clinical trials on human volunteers brought back exciting results. The clinical studies have shown that it increases collagen and elastin production, and dramatically increases moisture and elasticity in the skin. Not only does it reduces fine lines and wrinkles, it reduces redness associated with inflammation and improves the brightness and radiance of the skin.

Make no mistake about it, there are effective skin products that contain natural ingredients to help prevent and restore your sun damaged skin that have been scientifically tested on humans.

Being harmless and automatically curable, the skin condition known as cradle cap is not taken seriously. Some people neglect it altogether and bear the brunt of some unwanted turn in the disease. At worst condition, it starts passing to the other parts of the body. Or the affected area becomes crusty, scaly and hard thereby looking ugly. All these can be stopped by being a little careful.

One common treatment suggested for cradle cap by the specialists is the use of oils, vegetables as well as mineral. As suggested by them, the oil should be used liberally on the scalp and then left overnight to soak in. Leaving the oil even for lesser time is also not prohibited. Then, in the next day or after a certain period of time, the softened scales should be brushed away with something soft.

In this regard, a soft brush, toothbrush, comb or cloth can be used. However, some people think that this remedy is not ideal. The reason they show is that Malassezia yeasts can survive in oily environments. So, while curing one disease, this method of curing cradle cap may cause harm to the baby in some other way. Besides this, it is risky to use comb or something like this on the affected area as it may worsen the condition.

Using petroleum jelly e.g., Vaseline liberally is also suggested. The Vaseline may soften the scales that can be brushed away after sometime. Making paste from sodium bicarbonate, which is also known as baking soda is another way of treating cradle cap. The soda should be applied on the affected area and left for ten minutes or so. But the thing that is most widely suggested is shampoo. It is suggested that cradle cap affected area should be washed nicely with mild shampoo. This produces good result.

Black Hat search engine optimization is customarily defined as techniques that are used to get higher search rankings in an unethical manner. These black hat SEO techniques usually include one or more of the following characteristics:

* breaks search engine rules and regulations

* creates a poor user experience directly because of the black hat SEO techniques utilized on the Web site

* unethically presents content in a different visual or non-visual way to search engine spiders and search engine users.

A lot of what is known as black hat SEO actually used to be legit, but some folks went a bit overboard and now these techniques are frowned upon by the general SEO community at large. These black hat SEO practices will actually provide short-term gains in terms of rankings, but if you are discovered utilizing these spammy techniques on your Web site, you run the risk of being penalized by search engines. Black hat SEO basically is a short-sighted solution to a long-term problem, which is creating a Web site that provides both a great user experience and all that goes with that.

* Keyword stuffing: Packing long lists of keywords and nothing else onto your site will get you penalized eventually by search engines. Learn how to find and place keywords and phrases the right way on your Web site with my article titled Learn Where And How To Put Keywords In Your Site Pages.

* Invisible text: This is putting lists of keywords in white text on a white background in hopes of attracting more search engine spiders. Again, not a good way to attract searchers or search engine crawlers.

* Doorway Pages: A doorway page is basically a “fake” page that the user will never see. It is purely for search engine spiders, and attempts to trick them into indexing the site higher. Read more about doorway pages.

Scientists have lots of critical diseases to make extensive research on. Hence, they do not give that much of importance to the harmless diseases like cradle cap. It is a neonatal disease generally seen among the kids of two to three months of age. Unless it takes any ugly turn and if it is taken care of well, this skin condition may vanish within a few months. And for this no serious medical treatment will be required.

However, be it harmless or not, no neonatal disease should be left neglected. Cradle cap may not be an infectious disease but it has all the chance to spread to the other parts of the body. And if anything else does not happen, the effected area may become ugly to look at if not managed well. Even, it may start irritating the baby, though generally it is not an irritating disease.

With a lot of ways and means to take good care of cradle cap, it does not make any sense to leave the disease neglected. Some very easily applicable methods are there to keep the skin condition well within control. Lot of medicine companies are there that makes lotions to be applied to the affected area. Some of them are really effective and highly helpful in keeping the disease under control. It is very easy to use these lotions.

Then you can put some oil to make the scales greasy. Once the scales get greasy, you can brush them off with something soft. There is also purely natural remedy for cradle cap. You can make paste of homely herbs and apply them on the affected area.

One of the commonest neonatal diseases that are seen in case of almost half of the babies is cradle cap. It is marked by crusty, scaly, greasy spots. It generally occurs after two to three months of the birth of the baby and is prominent around the ear, the eyebrows and the eyelids. In some cases, it also occurs in the other part of the body. It is not infectious and do not irritate the baby.

In most of the cases, cradle cap remains mild and does not take any serious turn. However, there is every possibility that the skin condition may take an ugly turn, if it is not taken care of properly and left unnoticed. With a number of easy and cheap remedies available, it is not at all necessary for parents to be worried about treating the disease. In addition to the commercial lotions, some easy homely remedy is also there for it.

Oil can be a good means of curing cradle cap. Any kind of oil (vegetable or chemical) can be used profusely on the affected area and left for a few hours. After some hours, when the scales become greasy, one can brush them off something very soft. While brushing off the oily scales, special care should be taken so that the scales may go away but the affected area is not disturbed.

Apart from oil, there is another very easy remedy for cradle cap in the form of shampoo. Some mild shampoo can be mixed with water in good proportion and used to wash the affected area. Special care is necessary in this case also as using shampoo that has hard detergent in it may cause harm to the disease. Without taking the trouble of curing the disease in this way, commercial lotions can be used to control and cure it easily.

Every little component that is part of the car plays important roles. They all serve important function that when they fail, the performance of the car slowly deteriorates with it. And that is the philosophy that the VW car parts were made of. No matter how small or unnecessary a car part might be, they are still made with good faith that they will last and perform efficiently. Among those little things are the distributor caps. And the VW distributor cap is made with supreme reliability to assure that the distributor of the car will perform well.

One must understand first the dynamics of the distributor itself before actually delving onto the topic of the distributor cap. The distributor in the ignition system of the car is a device which routes the high voltage in the correct firing order to the spark plugs. It consists of a rotating arm or rotor inside the distributor cap, on top of the distributor shaft, but insulated from it and the body of the vehicle. The metal part of the rotor contacts the central high voltage cable from the coil via a spring loaded carbon brush. The metal part of the rotor arm passes close to (but does not touch) the output contacts which connect via high tension cables to the spark plug of each cylinder. As the rotor spins within the distributor, electrical current is able to jump the small gaps created between the rotor arm and the contacts due to the high voltage created by the ignition coil.

Hence, the distributor caps are used in automobile engine to cover the distributor and its internal rotor. The rotor switches a high sparking voltage to the spark plugs. The distributor cap is a prime example of a component that eventually succumbs to heat and vibration. But even if its bakelite housing has not broken or cracked, carbon deposits and eroded metal terminals can cause distributor-cap failure. However it is a fairly easy and inexpensive part to replace. The VW distributor cap has one post for each cylinder and in points ignition systems there is a central post for the coil voltage coming into the distributor. In HEI (High Energy Ignition) systems where there is not a central post, the ignition coil sits on top of the distributor. Although they are vulnerable to wear out, the VW distributor caps are known for its durability.

Aside from its durable and reliable features, one can be sure that the VW distributor cap will last for a long time. This is because its maker, the Volkswagen Company, has been in the automobile and auto parts industry for almost 80 years. Their service and reputation is a proof that you can truly trust their products especially if you opt for top quality and performance. It has extended its loyal service and functional products to the whole world without hesitation. The company has focused its goal in serving its people with best quality and high-performance products, which is also the legacy and inspiration that made them last until today.

One should never take for granted any part of his car, no matter how small or how little role it plays in the car’s performance. It has a reason to be there after all. And when it all backfires, you can always opt to trust the ever-reliable VW to help you find durable parts, even the VW distributor cap.

When it comes to ethical SEO technique, aggressive white hat is how you need to approach SEO. Just think “value” when it comes to white hat SEO. White hat is ethical search engine techniques approved by the big players such as Google.

? Hidden text - i.e. placing white text against a white background

? Cloaking - visitors see one thing on website but content is presented in a different way to search engine spiders.

? Doorway pages - these pages for a form of cloaking (these “fake” pages don’t have any real content and are created to trick spiders and rank for keywords only).

? Cookie stuffing - Cookies are strings of text stored on computers’ web browsers (as a result of third-party sites). The trick: consumers visit that website within 60 days ( a cookie is stored for 60 days) and makes a purchase - as a result, the affiliate receives a fraudulent commission off that sale.

? Redirects - Creating a page filled with unique content and once it’s ranked high, you redirect to another page on your site (i.e. your shopping cart page)
