I recently decided to visit an eye doctor. The Semmelweis Egyetem is nearby so we went there one morning and after some waiting I was examined by a young doctor. The reason why I went there was that I was not entirely happy with my current glasses and my eyes had tendency to get tired pretty easily. For my relief there were no serious problems. But I am about to get new glasses with better prescription and I also got some tips for eye care.

There are many factors in environment which affect to eye health. Dusty and polluted city is rather bad for eyes - especially for nordic and blonde people. The doctor said that tear consistency is not as protective as in case of other people but I do not know much more about that. Also, air conditioning in the office can be harmful as it produces both dry air and draft. Suitable eye drops and air moisturizer might provide relief.

The screen of the computer should be big enough and far enough. The worst possible is a small laptop screen as eyes have to focus close and try to read small text. Changing font to bigger one is not a shameful thing to do. Position screen in such a way that there is no bright light coming from behind of it and there are no reflections on the screen.

Eyes are not different from muscles in a sense that they need rest and some exercise. Good sleep and some pauses in coding sessions are necessary. Also, looking far in the distance or plain light colored surface every now and then will help eyes.

Finally but not least is to have proper glasses if they are needed. Because eyes are my most important tool only second to my brain, I find it really important to take decent care of them. Suitable glasses is one part of that.

I just made pizza (Dóra helped but I was the one to blame). It wasn't the first time but definitely the most troublesome time. First queuing in the shop for meat for ages. Then making dough with 0,5 liters of water instead of 1,5 deciliters, creating a mess while frying meat, having great problems while rolling the dough and so on.

Final result is good but it required a lot of sisu to make it ready instead of throwing the mess away and go to Pizza Hut.
