How to protect eyesight

We are told since childhood that “eyes are the windows to our soul.” Eyes are indeed one of our important body organs. We need to use our eyes to clearly see the beautiful things and beautiful scenery in this world every day. In addition, with the development of science and technology in our country, more and more electrical appliances are flooding our lives, especially the long-term use of computers is very harmful to our eyes. So how do you protect your eyesight?

In fact, our daily life cannot be separated from eyes, so protecting eyes is very important and necessary. However, not many people actually do this. Every year, there are still countless patients with myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, etc. in our country, so protecting eyesight is urgent. Here I will tell you how to protect your eyesight.

How to protect your eyesight

1. Adequate lighting: The lighting should be sufficient and comfortable. (If the light is too weak, the font cannot be seen clearly and myopia will increase as you read more.)

2. Avoid reflections: The desk should be equipped with side lights to reduce reflections and thus reduce damage to the eyes.

3. Don’t read for too long: Whether you are doing homework or watching TV, the time should not be too long. It is best to take a short break every hour or so.

4. Sit upright: Do not hunch over, sit too close or lie down to do homework. This can easily cause excessive tension in the ciliary muscles and lead to fatigue, which in turn causes myopia.

5. The reading distance should be moderate: the standard distance between the book and the eyes is 30 centimeters, and the height of the table and chair should also be adapted to the body, and should not be forced.

6. Don’t watch TV too close: When watching TV, you should keep a distance of six to eight times the diagonal of the TV screen, and it is advisable to take a short break every hour. 1. Sleep is essential and work and rest should be regular

7. Lack of sleep can easily cause fatigue and pseudomyopia.

8. Do more outdoor sports: often look into the distance to relax the eye muscles, prevent myopia, and have more contact with nature. Green mountains and green fields are beneficial to eye health.

9. Nutritional intake should be balanced: do not be picky about food and pay special attention to B vitamins (germ vegetables, oatmeal, yeast).

As for how to protect eyesight, we should actually start from childhood. When studying or working, we must pay attention to the adequacy of indoor lighting. If the indoor environment is too dark, it can easily cause damage to our eyesight. In addition, avoid reading or looking at the computer for too long. It is best to take a break after working or studying for an hour to relieve eye fatigue. Finally, we should pay attention to diet and eat more vegetables and fruits, which will help protect our eyes.
