How to prevent myopia

Myopia is a common ophthalmic problem, especially in modern society, more and more people suffer from myopia. However, by taking a series of effective preventive measures, we can reduce the risk of myopia. The following four aspects will describe how to prevent myopia.

1. Adjust the habit of using eyes

First of all, we should develop a good habit of using our eyes. Staring at mobile phones, computers and TV screens for a long time will cause great pressure on the eyes, which is easy to cause vision loss. Therefore, we should follow the "20-20-20" rule, that is, stay away from the screen every 20 minutes and look at objects 20 meters away for 20 seconds. This can help the eyes to rest and relax, and reduce eye muscle fatigue.

In addition, it is also important to keep an appropriate eye distance. When using electronic equipment, keep the mobile phone and computer screen 30 to 40 cm away from the eyes to reduce the burden on the eyes.

In addition, the indoor light should be moderate to avoid too dark or too bright light. Keep a good reading posture. Don't bend your head or tilt your feet to read. This can reduce the force on your eyes.

2. Scientific eye environment

Creating a good eye environment can also effectively prevent myopia. First, keep the humidity and air circulation in the room to avoid dry eyes. Use a humidifier to maintain proper humidity, or ventilate more.

Secondly, proper lighting is very important for vision protection. In the place of study or work, soft and stable natural light or auxiliary lighting device should be selected to reduce eye fatigue.

In addition, the indoor electronic screen should try to avoid reflection and flicker. Anti blue glasses can be used to filter the blue light of electronic equipment to reduce the damage to eyes.

3. Reasonable eye use time

Long term eye use is an important cause of myopia. In order to prevent myopia, we should reasonably arrange the time for using eyes. For children and adolescents, at least 2 hours of outdoor activities every day can effectively slow down the progress of myopia. The light of outdoor environment is brighter than that of indoor environment, which is beneficial to the development of eyes.

In addition, the daily eye use time should not be too long, especially continuous long time eye use. Reasonable allocation of study, work and rest time, regular rest, eye relaxation exercises or eye health activities can effectively reduce the risk of eye fatigue and myopia.

If fatigue, blurred vision and other symptoms occur during eye use, you should take a break in time and ask a doctor to check for eye problems.

4. Vision care

Finally, vision care is very important to prevent myopia. Carry out eye examination regularly to find and correct eye problems in time. Ophthalmologists can give appropriate vision correction according to personal conditions, such as wearing myopia glasses or contact lenses, and vision training.

In addition, a balanced diet is also an important factor in protecting eyesight. Take more foods rich in vitamins A, C and E, zinc, lecithin and other nutrients, such as carrots, oranges, fish, etc.

In a word, to prevent myopia, we need to develop a good habit of using eyes, create a scientific environment for using eyes, reasonably arrange the time for using eyes, and carry out vision care. Through these measures and methods, we can reduce the incidence of myopia and protect vision health.
