What is the best way to take care of your eyes?

The eyes are the windows to the soul, but in recent years, with the increase of electronic devices, many people have become more and more addicted to mobile games, computers and other related electronic products, which will undoubtedly increase the burden on the eyes and cause some eye diseases to show an upward trend in recent years. Therefore, we must strengthen eye care in daily life, especially for primary and secondary school students. We must pay attention to diet and make sure our eyes get enough rest.

1. Medicine and Nursing

For symptoms such as eye fatigue and myopia, Chinese medicine often uses Dingzhi Pills and Qiju Dihuang Pills to treat them. Dingzhi Pills are suitable for people who can see clearly at close range but blurry at far distance, and who also suffer from palpitations, chest tightness, and fatigue; Qiju Dihuang Pills are suitable for people who are nearsighted and have dark shadows and floaters in front of their eyes, as well as tinnitus, dizziness, frequent dreams at night, and back pain. If there are often dark shadows in front of your eyes, you can add salvia miltiorrhiza and curcuma to promote blood circulation and remove blood stasis.

2. Food and Nutrition

Eat more foods that are good for eyesight, such as longan meat, yam, carrot, spinach, sweet potato, taro, corn, animal liver, beef, mulberry, red dates, etc., or drink tea with red dates, ginseng (ginseng food), wolfberry, chrysanthemum, and monk fruit to protect your eyes. It is generally believed that monk fruit is suitable for people with hoarseness and throat discomfort. In fact, monk fruit is also very effective for patients with high temper and poor eyesight.

3. Water culture

The eyes like coolness and are afraid of heat. When the heart fire or liver fire is excessive, the eyes will develop eye stains, become dry, red, swollen, and congested. Washing your face frequently with running cool water can reduce eye diseases, protect eyesight, and enhance the eyes' resistance to disease. The benefits are especially obvious for people who often suffer from red eyes, dry eyes, blurred vision, etc. Fumigating your eyes with tea is also very helpful in protecting your eyes and restoring vision. When fumigating your eyes, cover the mouth of the cup with your hands to prevent the heat from dissipating too quickly. If the tea is too hot and unbearable, you can let it cool down a little, but the fumigation time must be about 10 minutes, and you must persist in doing it at least once a day.

4. Animal Care

Let your eyes move and exercise them. The method is: stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, chest out, and head slightly tilted back. Open your eyes wide and try to move your eyeballs as much as possible (without moving your head), first from right to left 10 times, then from left to right 10 times. After resting for 10 minutes, repeat the above exercise (sports food) 3 times. This method is best performed in the garden in the morning, as it can help refresh the brain and improve eyesight. In addition, regularly moving your eyeballs and looking straight ahead at distant mountains, building roofs, spires, rivers and other scenery can also regulate the eye muscles and lens, reduce eye fatigue and improve vision.
