I am deeply passionate about optometry and eye health as they profoundly affect all aspects of our lives, mainly how they are fundamental to how we experience the world in our everyday lives. I am especially fascinated by the complex mechanics of the eye as well as the intricacy of ocular health, especially its impact on the daily. Additionally, exploring the innovative technologies and treatments that can improve and preserve eye health deeply intrigues me as well.
My passion for medicine began when I witnessed my grandparents undergo cataract surgery. From this surgery, they temporarily experienced light sensitivity and dry eyes. I have learned that during the surgical procedure, the natural lens of the eye (cataract) is removed and replaced with an artificial lens (intraocular lens). This study area truly fascinated me, and I realized the importance of the correlation between vision and various aspects of cognitive functions and their overall well-being.
Our mission is to educate and empower students and communities- particularly those in underserved areas concerning the significance of eye diseases including amblyopia, myopia and digital eye strain through informative sessions, engaging initiatives, and community-driven measures. Proper vision care is not only a fundamental aspect of overall well-being but also a critical factor in achieving educational and personal success. To accomplish this, we are devoted to structuring meaningful programs highlighting eye health in discussions across schools, community centers, and beyond.
This initiative is driven by passion and a commitment to inform and educate the future generation to prioritize their vision. According to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, teenagers in the United States can spend up to 9 hours daily on screens, while children aged 8-12 spend an average of 4-6 hours per day. Due to the increased screen use in adolescents, vision-related problems have a higher chance, including dry eye syndrome and myopia (near sightneess). Furthermore, increased screen time during and after the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a 40% rise in myopia progression among young children and teens as well as a rise in dry eye syndrome due to blinking rates dropping by up to 60% during screen use.
Our initiatives will highlight knowledgeable guest speakers, including ophthalmologists, optometrists, and other eye care professionals, who will share their knowledge and inspire students to value their vision health, especially focusing on common eye diseases among adolescents.
