Eyeball to Eyeball
Like any other part of our body, the eye muscles too need exercise. This increases visual concentration. Eyes should not be exposed to flickering light at least two hours before a person sleeps since this irritates optic nerves and can lead to poor eyesight.
Fresh vegetables, including carrots, are a must for children, say doctors. In March this year, a National Eye Institute study indicated that consumption of food rich in carotenoids (green, leafy vegetables such as spinach) and fresh fruits reduces the risk of muscular degeneration.
Eye Exercises:
Keep your back, neck and head in a straight line. First look up and then down. Repeat a few times.
Keep your eyes wide open. Look to the right and then to the left. Repeat from left to right.
Move your eyeballs in a circle, clockwise. Repeat the exercise anti-clockwise.
The exercises should be repeated 10 times. Rest for 30 seconds after every exercise.

Child and Law
Child Abuse and Child Marriage
Government's proposed new law - the draft Offences Against Children Act, 2006
The ministry of women and child development is set on defending children against any form of abuse - a slap at home, a serious thrashing by a teacher, or sexual abuse.
The draft bill's definition of sexual assault: "Any type of penetration (including sodomy) or manipulation of child's body for penetration". Even oral sex - whether the child is forced to perform it or made the recipient - has been defined and made punishable.
Abuse includes flashing of nudity in front of a child or asking the child to do so, causing a child to be exposed to pornography in any manner, fondling a child and molestation.
Punishment is stringent: For sexual assault, a maximum of life imprisonment and a minimum of 12 years rigorous imprisonment with a fine; for sexual abuse, a maximum of 10 years simple imprisonment with a fine. For abuse, the minimum jail term is five years for a child under 12, two years if the child is aged between 12 and 16, and six months if over 16. If the victim is over 16, consent will be used as evidence to book the accused.
The bill does not spare abusive parents and teachers either. They can be jailed for five years and fined for child abuse. But it does provide teachers a safeguard. "SColding or minor beating" will not amount to corporal punishment as long as it is not persistent.
Other aspects covered include commercial sexual exploitation, child pornography, sale of children and economic exploitation, including forced begging.
New law will tread uncovered ground Assault: All forms of sex including oral, beating by parents / teacher.
Abuse: Flashing of private parts in front of child / by child, forced begging / prostitution, pornography.
Punishment: Between 12 years and life imprisonment for assault, between 5 and 10 years for abuse.
Existing laws differ on who's a child IPC: Sex with or without consent is rape if girl is under 16.
Juvenile Justice Act: Boy or girl is juvenile if under 18 years.
Child Marriage Restraint Act: A boy under 21, a girl under 18 is under-age.
All aspects of Law in regards to children would be covered
