Medic - Doctor of Optometry🩺👓 in view|| An eye for an eye is my future income generating strategy; keep harming your eyes so I can treat them for money.
I have a friend who has become very insecure about her eyes. Apparently she has "dark circles", and she has regrettably lost her self esteem.
Some of you have dark circles too. They're simple tips to reduce or get rid of them.

My twin decided to sleep at my hostel this night. This random guy comes & sees ‘two me’ & is shocked. My roommates worsen everything. They say we're not related, we just moved into the hostel and met each other and everyone is shocked. This guy says blood of Jesus countlessly.
Happy birthday to myself and my twin, Dara. It's been a pleasure twinning with you for the most of our lives yet, and it can only get better.
Happy birthday, Dara❤️.
January was good. I'm making progress in optometry school and being a big brother to my younger sister who is my junior colleague in optometry school too.
February definitely will be better.
The past days have been so exciting. I was delighted to attend the Southern Conference of JCI Nigeria and it was a beautiful experience to the very best.
Did you know that each of your eyes has a small blind spot where the optic nerve exits the retina. However, your brain compensates for this blind spot, so you rarely notice it in your everyday vision.

Don't make this kind of argument outside. You'll disgrace yourself. PhD holders are called Drs, the degree for am Optometrist is called Doctor of Optometry, but he/she shouldn't be called Dr because it's not MBBS he wrote. Lmao. If you don't talk, no one will know you're stupid.
After so much pressure from my twin brother I finally got on LinkedIn. Now, all I need is money for an official portrait. Please do me a favour by connecting with me — especially if you're in any health or medical related fields. This is my profile link:
My mum is the coordinator of the children's ministry in her church and today was the children’s sunday. She called me over the phone last week and said “Dara, shebi you'll come next week sunday.” I couldn't say no. As always, she looked absolutely beautiful.
For people who play the Piano, I've always seen C major to be the easiest to play on. Somedays F and G work.
Met a young boy recently. Boy said his easiest keys to play on are C# and Db. C# has 7 sharps, Db has 5 flats.
Subtle reminder that present day kids are so intelligent
Different moral principles work for different people. I have a cousin who believes that 'if it's for you, it'll come to you without stress'. He says it works for him.
For me? Naaa. I believe that if it's for you, you'll have to fight for it. This works for me.
We are as free as what we know, don't discover this too late. Read that book, attend that conference, gather that experience, value that relationship.
True freedom comes with knowledge. Truly, knowledge is power.
Ever heard of Dr. Jack Kevorkian? He was also called Dr. Death. He had a popular quote: 'dying is not a crime'. He was convicted of murder in 1999. But there's more. 🧵
Get Adequate Sleep
Some dark circles are fatigue related and borne out of stress and tiredness cause. Aim for 7-9 hours of quality sleep per night. You're not a bat or a generator. If you sleep adequately fatigue-related dark circles will be no where near your eyes.
Finally, Consult a Dermatologist
If dark circles persist or worsen, consult a dermatologist for professional advice and treatments.
No be everything you fit handle by yourself.
Use a Cold Compress
In the past I used to see people put cucumber slices on their eyes and I'll tell my twin, " see as they just dey waste food". Apply a cold compress or chilled cucumber slices to your eyes for 10-15 minutes to reduce puffiness and constrict blood vessels.
What’s your take on
women advising their daughters not to marry men from a particular tribe?
Apparently all my friends who are Urhobo aren’t gonna get married easily, because the girls say their mums say they shouldn’t do a man from “this or that tribe”.
Sun Protection
Some of you feel your eyes are natural sunshades and UV bulletproofs. Sunglass no be only swag ooh. Always wear sunglasses and apply sunscreen to protect the delicate skin around your eyes from UV damage.
Sleepopolis reported in 2023 that more than 50 to 70 million Americans suffer from sleep disorders. This is not any different from the rest of the world.
I wrote about the role good sleep plays in stabilizing your mental health. Please have a read:
Stay Hydrated
My friend in question, cannot finish one pure water, lol. She complains that it's too much and she feels heavy after drinking water. Drink enough water to keep your body and skin hydrated. Dehydration causes dark circles. Now you know, please drink enough water.
There's a logical fallacy here: false cause or non sequitur. Her message has been passed, good and fine. But she has made an assumption that a principled person is directly linked to education, intellect or mentorship; hence misconstruing the lexical definition of 'principled'.
I'm looking forward to connecting with as many health practitioners as possible including but not limited to students and professionals in optometry, medicine, dentistry, pharmacy, physiotherapy, radiography, etc. Lets connect on LinkedIn: .
