Shanghai Eye Hospital: What should be noted in eye care?

The eye is one of the important sensory organs of the human body, and eye care is essential to protect vision and prevent eye diseases. With the acceleration of the pace of modern life and the wide application of electronic products, more and more people are facing eye problems. As a well-known ophthalmic medical institution, Shanghai Eye Hospital attaches great importance to the importance of eye care. The following four aspects will be elaborated in detail: eye hygiene, eye care diet, eye moisturizing and correct use of glasses.

Eye hygiene

Good eye hygiene habits are essential for maintaining eye health. First of all, it is necessary to keep your eyes clean. Gently clean the area around the eyes with warm water every morning and evening to remove dirt and feces. Avoid rubbing eyes and rubbing eyes with hands to avoid bacterial infection. Frequently change the washcloth and pillow towel to keep the eye environment clean.

Secondly, the correct use of eye drops is also an important part of eye health. If the eyes are dry or have foreign body feeling, artificial tears can be used to relieve discomfort. But pay attention to the choice of non irritating, non preservative products, and use under the guidance of doctors. Do not abuse eye drops or use expired products.

In addition, paying attention to the hygiene of the surrounding environment of the eyes is also an important measure to protect the eyes. Keep indoor ventilation and avoid contact with harmful irritants, such as smoke, dust and chemicals. In outdoor activities, wear sunglasses to prevent UV damage.

Eye protection diet

A reasonable diet can provide adequate nutrition for the eyes, so as to maintain vision and eye health. First of all, we should pay attention to taking rich vitamin A. Vitamin A is the key component to maintain visual adaptability, photoreceptor cells and retinal health. The rich vitamin A in food includes carrots, spinach, tomatoes, red peppers, etc.

Secondly, Omega-3 fatty acids are also important for eye health. Fish (such as salmon and cod) and nuts (such as walnuts and almonds) are good sources of Omega-3 fatty acids, which can help prevent dry eyes and age-related macular degeneration.

In addition, rich antioxidants also help protect eye cells. Vitamin C and vitamin E can reduce the oxidative damage of eye tissues. Citrus fruits, green leafy vegetables and nuts are rich in these vitamins.

Eye moisturizing

Eye moisturizing is an essential eye care step. Dry environment and long-time eye use will lead to eye discomfort and eye fatigue. Therefore, the use of moisturizing eye drops or eye gels can alleviate the dryness and discomfort of the eyes. Select the product suitable for your eye condition and follow the doctor's advice.

In addition, keeping good indoor humidity can also help keep eyes moist. Use a humidifier or air humidifier when necessary to keep the indoor humidity within the range of 40%~60%, which helps reduce eye dryness and discomfort.

In addition, keeping enough sleep is also helpful for eye moisturizing and rest. Insufficient sleep time will make eyes tired and dry. Frequent enough sleep can effectively prevent eye problems.

Use glasses correctly

Glasses are an eye aid used by many people, but only by using them correctly can they bring practical help to the eyes. First of all, it is very important to select glasses of appropriate degree and style to protect eyesight. When buying glasses, you should go to a regular eye hospital or optometry institution for optometry and lens selection.

Secondly, correct wearing and maintenance of glasses is also the key. Regularly clean glasses and avoid using high temperature water and strong acid and alkali solution to clean them, so as not to damage lenses and frames. When wearing, follow the doctor's advice and the correct way of wearing to maintain good visual effect and comfort.

In addition, people who often enter air-conditioned rooms can choose glasses with anti blue light function to reduce the harm of blue light to eyes. It is especially important for people who need to use computers or mobile phones for a long time, which can reduce the fatigue and dryness of eyes.

Summary

Shanghai Eye Hospital emphasizes the importance of eye care, and elaborates from four aspects: eye hygiene, eye care diet, eye moisturizing and correct use of glasses. Only by keeping good hygiene habits, taking proper nutrition, carrying out proper eye moisturizing and using glasses correctly can eye health be protected and eye diseases be prevented.

Therefore, each of us should pay attention to eye care, develop good eye hygiene habits, eat reasonably and moisturize, and wear and maintain glasses correctly. Only in this way can we have healthy and bright eyes, enjoy a clear vision and a better life.
