When was the last time that you got your eyes checked?
Most of the people will answer this question as “long back”, and some of them might not even remember when. It is best to get your eyes checked every year. Being an adult, you may not able to get it done every year; you should get it done once every two years. Elderly and kids will require more frequent visits.

Some of the signs that denote you require an optometrist visit are as follows:
We all have days when we don’t feel happy with our body. Who hasn’t felt conscious about their appearance?
But body acceptance becomes a lot more challenging when it’s not cellulite or pimple you’re concerned about, but scars, serious skin conditions and deformities. Even though you have nothing to be ashamed about, its hard not to worry about what other people will think about your ostomy bag or your extreme swollen ‘Prednison face’.
Plus, how do you accept your own body when it doesn’t work properly? When it causes you pain and heartache every day?
There’s no easy answer, and the road to body acceptance will look different for everybody. But there are some common themes when it comes to loving the skin you’re in.
First of all, stop comparing yourself to others. You’ll never have their exact body. If reading fashion and health magazines or following certain people online gets you down, remove that negativity from your life. Diversify your social media feed; there are so many inspiring spoonies out there rocking their walking aids, insulin pumps and portable catheters!
What’s more, be mindful of your internal dialogue. You wouldn’t constantly put your best friend down with snarky comments, right? So why would you talk to yourself in such a way?
Finally, try to see yourself as a whole person instead of a body with certain physical features and (dis)abilities. You’re so much more than that! Take pride in your smile, your inner strength and the way you cook a mean lasagna.
Hopefully these 12 body acceptance quotes will inspire you to start feeling more comfortable in your own skin.
