National Mechanical Dry Eye Day is observed each year on May 19 in the United States. This day is observed to raise awareness about this age-related disorder of the eye. It is one of the most prevalent age-related eye disorders and is commonly found in those over 60. The condition is identified by the presence of extra conjunctival folds, which are between the eyeball and the eyelids. The lower eyelid is typically affected by the condition. This disrupts the natural flow of tears and eye drops, weakening the tear film, delaying tear clearance, and causing dry eye.
Turn Beauty Inside Out Day
Turn Beauty Inside Out Day, observed every year on the third Wednesday in May, is aimed at motivating women and young girls to appreciate their individualism and unique qualities and traits, and not to be swayed by the media on how a woman’s beauty should be measured. This year, it takes place on May 20. This holiday (created by “New Moon” magazine and Mind and Media) stresses the need to reject the media’s standards of physical beauty. These days, highly impressionable kids are exposed to false standards of exterior beauty through advertisements, glossy magazines, films, television shows, as well as the Internet.
National Stop Nausea Day
National Stop Nausea Day is observed every year in the United States on the third Tuesday in May. This year, it takes place on May 19. The purpose of the day is to increase public awareness about nausea, which affects millions of Americans. It is not a constant state; rather, it is brought on by particular stimuli like pregnancy, chemotherapy, motion in a car, or altitude. Although not a life-threatening condition, this one is nonetheless uncomfortable! Thankfully, one does not have to suffer from nausea since we now have medications to treat the condition. While some people may experience nausea less frequently as they age, others may experience it more frequently.
