6 Ways to Protect Your Eyes and Maintain Good Vision

Regular eye checkups from an ophthalmologist or optometrist are important. They should be done once a year if you are over age 65. Your doctor will recommend earlier and more frequent exams if you have diabetes or if you are already showing early signs of eye problems from diabetes, high blood pressure, or other causes. These important steps can help prevent eye and vision problems:

1
You want to protect your eyes from the sun much like you would protect your skin from the sun with SPF and UV protection.  The sun's damaging rays can lead to cataracts and macular degeneration over time if they aren't protected with sunglasses.  This is because UV bands of light from the sun penetrate the retina leading to eye damage.  When selecting protective sunglasses avoid ones that are marked as cosmetic and select ones that are designated as having 99% or 100% UV protection.




2
You may be familiar with the damage smoking does to internal organs.  However, there is also a direct link between smoking and and eye problems.  If you are a smoker you are increasing your risk of developing a number of eye diseases including: cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, dry eye syndrome, optic nerve damage, and even diabetic retinotherapy. 


3
If you are engaging in the occasional glass of wine or cocktail you are most likely not harming your eyes, but excessive drinking for extended periods of time could lead to eye damage. Chronic alcohol abuse can lead to degeneration of the optic nerve, which can result in vision reduction, blind spots, and reduced color visibility. Short-term alcohol consumption can trigger migraines, which cause some people to experience flashing lights.  




4
Untreated high blood pressure (hypertension) can affect eyesight and even lead to hypertensive retinotherapy. Hypertensive retinotherapy is directly caused by having high blood pressure, making it highly preventable.  It is also important to maintain healthy cholesterol levels as high cholesterol can lead to circumferential arcus and retinal vein occlusion (vascular eye disease).  








5
Prolonged inadequate blood glucose monitoring can cause diabetic retinotherapy.  Diabetic retinotherapy is a result of damage to the innermost layer of the eye, the retina.  Other eye complications related to diabetes include: blindness, corneal erosion, cataracts, double vision, and bleeding.  






6
Eating foods rich in antioxidants, such as leafy greens like spinach, kale, and collards are exceptionally good for not only eye health but overall wellness.  Antioxidants are vitamins that protect and repair cells from damage such as infection thus keeping your immune system strong.  Fruits and Vegetables that are very colorful tend to pack the most antioxidants including: berries, prunes, plums, alfalfa sprouts, eggplant, beans, and red grapes.  

AVANTI :Meet India’s first super car - the DC Design

Along with being a Show Car, the DC Avanti is capable of being transformed into a production ready vehicle. DC Design hopes to follow the footsteps of the Italian carrozzerias such as Bertone, Ghia, Pininfarina and Stola. These Italians have always designed and engineered exquisite sports cars and have come out with limited number of cars for the public.

Dilip Chhabria, Founder, DC Design said, “We are extremely ecstatic to present the DC Avanti today and it is a manifestation of not just the burgeoning interest in high end sports cars but also as a calling card for our own capabilities which have now progressed from mere styling in the early days to full prototyping and bespoke one-off manufacturing. Every country which has written its name in the pantheon of automobile manufacturing has invariably distinguished itself with sports cars by its own nationals and I thought that India rightly needs to be in this exclusive club.”

"The Indian market for high end automobiles is on a steep uphill curve as witnessed year-on-year and our focus is at the top end of this rarefied niche. The design is completely our very own as is the engineering and also the production process. Type approval and on-road tests would follow soon and we intend to simultaneously set up an all new facility at Talegaon near Pune to build this vehicle," said Dilip.

"We intend to produce 300 units of the Avanti in 2013-2014 and if all goes well we could ramp up production to go into four figures per annum. Till now DC Design was noted for its design and customisation but then we added complete engineering and prototyping to our roster of services and working for the world's biggest names helped us understand and add to our expertise," added Dilip.

Further, he commented that "the Avanti is an ongoing culmination of all that we have learnt and we intend to give a sports car to a select new emerging breed of car buyers who value good taste without compromising on performance and who don't need to spend a fortune on making the adrenaline flow."

DC Avanti is expected to be equipped with a Ford EcoBoost 2.0-litre, four cylinder, DOHC, 16 valve engine. The engine unit has prominent features like turbocharging with direct injection and VVT (Variable Valve Timing). With these features, the engine will be capable of producing power and torque comparable to that of the bigger 3.0-litre engine.

The maximum power delivered by the engine of the supercar is going to be 240 bhp at 5500 rpm, while the torque will be 366 Nm at 3500 rpm. It is expected that the supercar will provide excellent fuel economy. The car will also not face any problems in being exported as the engine and its parts are Euro 4 and 5 compliant. It can be easily converted into the upcoming Euro 6 legislation after a few tweaks in the ‘engine mapping characteristics’.

DC Avanti will be light in weight, with a strong chassis that will make use of square, rectangular and round divisions to give power and firmness to the car. The suspension will be sports car type comprising of ‘unequal length wishbones’ all over and functioning together with ‘coil cover shock absorbers’. This supercar with appealing exteriors will be responsive, efficient and swift and will give excellent performance. It will be incorporated with a hydraulically assisted rack and a pinion steering gear.

The makers of DC Avanti have also incorporated major safety features. Bosch will provide its newest ABS brake system and SRS airbag technology in Avanti. International Experts in the field will take care of the drive quality and handling and the car will be completely assembled at the firm’s new production plant in Talegaon near Pune. The top speed of the car will electronically be restricted to 250 kmph and will be fitted with 19-inch tyres. The dimension of the front tyre is 255/35-19, whereas the rear is 295/30-19-sized rubber. Huge 330 mm diameter ventilated disc brakes accessorised with AP Racing callipers that come as OE fitment, provide control and smooth handling to the driver.

DC Avanti has compact and sleek outer dimensions that are not seen in any vehicle belonging to the Asian automobile category. The car has a combination of concave and convex exteriors to provide it an aerodynamic advantage.

DC Design’s dedicated and self-managed sales and service network have been setup in Delhi, Mumbai, Pune, Chennai and Hyderabad. Four more stores will probably be opened this year. The bookings for DC Avanti will commence as soon as the Auto Expo is over. A limited number of models will be manufactured; hence the bookings are subject to availability. The deliveries will start from the fourth quarter of 2013. DC Avanti is expected to carry a price tag of Rs. 30 lacs (ex-showroom).
