How to better prevent myopia
With the change of modern lifestyle, the number of myopia patients is increasing, and the prevention of myopia has become an important topic. In response to this problem, Director Yan Hong of Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Hospital proposed the following suggestions, hoping to help people better prevent myopia.
Proper use of electronic products
In recent years, with the popularity of electronic products, it has become the habit of many people to stare at the electronic screen for a long time. However, using electronic products for a long time is likely to lead to eye fatigue and visual damage, thus promoting the occurrence of myopia. In order to prevent myopia, we can take the following measures:
First, reduce screen usage time, especially for children. Research shows that teenagers' excessive use of electronic products will increase the incidence of myopia. Therefore, it is very important to ensure children's daily outdoor activities.
Secondly, use electronic products correctly. Keep a proper reading distance and avoid getting too close to the screen for a long time. In addition, regular eye rest with eyes closed and looking into the distance can also alleviate eye fatigue.
Finally, use anti blue glasses. Blue light is one of the most easily caused eye fatigue in electronic products. Choosing glasses with anti blue light function can effectively reduce the over stimulation of eyes to blue light.
Maintain correct eye position
It is very important to keep a correct eye posture to prevent myopia. Especially for people who have been engaged in close work for a long time, correct use of eyes can effectively prevent the occurrence of myopia.
First, keep a proper reading distance. Reading too close will increase the force of the eyes, which will easily lead to eye fatigue and myopia. Generally, it is appropriate to keep a reading distance of 30-40 cm.
Secondly, keep good posture. Sit upright, do not bow your head excessively, and maintain a comfortable reading posture, which helps to reduce eye fatigue.
Finally, take regular rest and eye exercises. At regular intervals, you can take proper rest and relaxation for your eyes, such as eye rest, eye massage, etc. At the same time, some eye exercises can also increase the flexibility of eye muscles and prevent myopia.
A nutritionally balanced diet
Diet is also very important for eye health. By maintaining a balanced diet, we can provide enough nutrients to nourish the eyes and help prevent myopia.
First, take enough vitamin A. Vitamin A is essential for maintaining eye health. We can get enough vitamin A by eating foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots, tomatoes, citrus fruits, etc.
Secondly, take an appropriate amount of protein. Protein is an important part of eye tissue, which helps maintain the normal function of the eye. Foods such as chicken, fish and beans are good choices rich in protein.
Finally, add enough water. Keeping your eyes moist is very important to prevent myopia. Drinking enough water every day can help maintain the water balance of eye tissues and reduce eye fatigue.
Regular eye examination
Regular eye examination is the key to prevent myopia. Through regular inspection, eye problems can be found in time, and appropriate treatment measures can be taken to effectively prevent further development of myopia.
Generally, everyone should have an eye examination once a year. During the examination, the ophthalmologist will comprehensively check the structure and function of the eye to ensure the health of the eye. For people with a family history of myopia, more frequent eye examinations are recommended.
Through the above efforts, we can better prevent the occurrence of myopia. Proper use of electronic products, correct eye posture, balanced diet and regular eye examination are all very important measures to prevent myopia. Pay attention to eye health and start from small things to make our eyes more healthy and bright.
Article summary: The prevention of myopia is an important health topic. In response to this problem, Director Yan Hong of Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Hospital proposed the following suggestions: correctly use electronic products, maintain correct eye posture, nutrition balanced diet and regular eye examinations. Through these measures, we can better prevent the occurrence of myopia, pay attention to eye health, and start from small things.
