  Great piece, Snr. I really hope this information will be treated with a lot of attention.
  Policies to really help the less privileged individuals in the rural communities. NHIS can do better by giving more packages for eye health. Without good vision, productivity and quality of life is greatly affected.

  Very helpful to us as a nation.
  We rely heavily on our vision every single day. Attending regular eye check-ups at your local opticians can go a long way to keeping your eyes healthy. An eye specialist (also called an optometrist) is trained to detect issues and problems with your eyes. A routine check-up can uncover eye conditions such as glaucoma and age-related macular degeneration. It may also be able to pick up the early signs of cataracts.
  Regular eye check-ups can also help to identify wider health problems. These include:
  
  high blood pressure
  diabetic retinopathy
  heart disease
  brain tumours
  thyroid disease
  skin cancer
  leukaemia.
  Healthy eyes are linked to healthy brains
  The brain and eyes are intrinsically linked within the human body. Our brains are instrumental to interpreting the world around us through our vision so it’s no surprise to hear that getting the right nutrients can boost your eye health. These nutrients include lutein and zeaxanthin which are found in green leafy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, kale, peas, and lettuce. It can also be found in egg yolk.
