Indian Doctors for Peace and Development (IDPD) while welcoming the Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard on visit to India has appealed that Australia should not supply Uranium to our country for any purpose. Dr.L.S.Chawla – National President, Dr.Arun Mitra – General Secretary and Dr.Bharti Uppal – Finance Secretary said that there are many fields where both countries can strengthen trade relations to the benefit of both countries. Australia is the second biggest producer of Uranium in the world. But it is to the credit of Australia not to have any nuclear power plant. Nuclear energy is inherently dangerous and nuclear power plants are neither safe nor economical. Moreover they can be a potential for the production of  nuclear weapons any time in future. That Australia would supervise India over the use of Uranium supplied by it does not sound realistic. India has ample number of renewable resources for energy. It will be pertinent that the two countries work together in the field of renewable resources.

Eye Care Tips for the Season//Dr Nitin Batra*

'Red Eye' can either be due to allergens

Summer season makes its appearance in end March with daytime temperatures exceeding 30 degree Celsius. When things begin to heat up, many suffer from itching, burning, and watering of the eyes especially May onwards.

DR. Nitin Batra

A clear, thin membrane called the conjunctiva covers our eyeball and the inside of our eyelids. If something irritates this covering, our eyes may become red and swollen. Our eyes may itch or even hurt and they may water also. Conjunctivitis, therefore, is the term given to an inflammation of the conjunctiva of the eye.
This 'red eye' can either be due to allergens, called 'allergic conjunctivitis', or due to infections- 'infectious conjunctivitis' which can be viral or bacterial. This can also involve the central transparent structure of the eye ball- the Cornea which may lead to corneal inflammation known as Keratitis. The causative agents can be allergens like pollen, hay particles and animal fur in the surroundings which essentially takes place during the summers. Another common eye problem encountered in this season is Dry Eyes, which is manifested in the form of severe grittiness, irritation, redness and watering of the eyes.
It is advisable not to self medicate with over the counter medications in these conditions as they may lead to severe complications. Maintaining hygiene, staying indoors and routine eye checkups are advisable in this season.
