“In traditional schools, you’re penalized for making a mistake. But that won’t work in the new information culture, in the digital world we live in today.”- Daniel Greenberg.

Among the various vital organs, we use our eyes majorly while using computers and other technical devices.

Research shows that between 50-90% of people who work at a computer screen have at least some symptoms of eye problems. This is the last gasp to provide some care for our important organs so that we can explore more in near future.
