What are the ways to prevent refractive error?

Refractive error can be solved through some preventive methods in life. You should pay attention to your living environment and light, reduce visual fatigue, and give your eyes more rest. Especially if you face the computer for a long time, you should pay more attention.

1. Appropriate lighting: Pay attention to the lighting in the living environment. The light should provide sufficient contrast between light and dark to reduce visual fatigue and avoid reflections. There should be a lighting device next to the desk to reduce reflections and reduce damage to the eyes.

2. Rest your eyes: The best way to relieve eye fatigue is to rest your eyes, do eye exercises, eliminate eye muscle fatigue, and avoid using your eyes for long periods of time.

3. Reduce radiation: Although televisions and computers are becoming more and more important in our lives, they should be used in moderation, especially close contact with computers, as radiation can cause greater harm to the eyes.

4. Timely isolation: When suffering from infectious eye diseases, you should pay attention to isolation, have special towels and washbasins, and wash your hands before and after taking medicine to prevent the eye disease from spreading in the group and causing refractive errors in both eyes.

5. How to prevent refractive errors: Good habits: require correct sitting posture, appropriate reading distance, appropriate reading time, tables and chairs that match the body, and do not read newspapers while walking, etc.

6. Outdoor sports: do more physical exercise, strengthen your physical fitness, improve the adaptability of your eye muscles, get more in touch with nature, look into the distance often, look at green plants, etc.
