Look into my Eyes What do you see?

There is an old saying that eyes are the windows to the soul,  and yes whenever your told your mother a story she would ask you to look her in the eyes and tell her again.  Mothers seemed to have caught on early to some secret society of human lie detectors,  but more and more we are hearing about how eyes can reflect on a person's health.  Our inner workings are sending a message to the outer world through our skin, hair, and now eyes. What are the signals our eyes give us that something just is not right?

Burning sensation:  You are in front of a computer.  You are reading your e-mails or my article and your vision is blurred.   Our eyes are becoming more sensitive to the light as we age.  What can we do?  Change your glasses.  Choose lenses that do not reflect light.   Adjust the

contrast on your computer monitor.

Itchy, red eyes:  Your eyes are itching and constantly red.  There is a possibility that there is something triggering your itching like an allergy.  Try eye drops that are catered specifically to Allergies or take an oral anti-histimine like Loratadine which you can find over the counter.

Yellowing of the white of the eyes:  The white of your eyes turn yellow.  There is a possibility that you could have jaundice.  Go see your doctor.  Yellowish skin or eyes could mean problems with your liver.
