He spoke on Tuesday while giving a health talk organised by the Correspondents’ Chapel of the Nigeria Union of Journalists, NUJ, Council.

Amuda said: “It’s like somebody running a race for two hours non-stop against one that observed two minutes of rest at intervals, who among them will be exhausted first?”.

Baba Oloju further warned against self-prescribed eye medication.

“There are several cases of people who listen to hearsay on how to care for their eyes but end up losing both eyes.

“Just like conjunctivitis in newborns, in which bring out discharge in their eyes and mothers are advised to apply drops of breast milk to clear the eyes, which lead to complete blindness,” he stressed.

He continued by noting that patients’ blood pressure needs to be monitored when receiving treatment for eye issues because excessive blood pressure might cause difficulties with the eyes.
