How to prevent myopia and protect your eyes

Myopia has been a problem that has troubled many people. Especially with the frequent use of mobile phones in recent years, people look at their phones while eating, walking, and even going to the toilet. As a result, more and more people are suffering from myopia. The damage that mobile phones cause to the eyes should attract widespread attention from the whole society. Each of us has only one pair of eyes, and once we become nearsighted, our vision can never be restored to normal. The key to myopia is prevention, and we should learn to take good care of our eyes.

1. Ensure adequate sleep and eye time

The best way to prevent myopia is to go to bed early and ensure 8 hours of sleep. Do not look at your phone, read books, or use the computer for a long time before going to bed. Also, when watching mobile phones, televisions, computers and other electronic products, you should only take a break after watching them for an hour, and then watch them for 15 minutes before continuing. Do not use your eyes under strong sunlight.

2. Good lighting

Working or studying in a place with insufficient light for a long time will make our eyes more tired, which will increase the chance of developing myopia and worsen the degree of myopia, so we need to pay attention to these.

3. Relax your eyes

With the widespread use of computers, our lives are inseparable from computers. Whether it is life, study or work, we will use computers. Because we stare at the computer screen for a long time, our eyes are easily tired, and myopia is often prevalent. In order to maintain normal vision, we should pay attention to blinking more and resting more, so that our vision can be maintained for a long time.

5. Pay attention to nutrition and health

Calcium is a mineral element that we are more familiar with and pay much attention to. Calcium deficiency is one of the important reasons for poor vision development and even the formation of myopia. Eat more foods rich in vitamins ABC, balance nutrition, and develop good eating habits.

6. Eye exercises

We can spend 10 minutes every day doing eye exercises, which can relax our eye nerves and the pressure around the eyes, and can also be of great help to our eye clarity, so we must insist on doing eye exercises every day.
