How to prevent eye fatigue? Professor Lin from Guangzhou Ophthalmology Department shared tips on eye protection

Eye fatigue is one of the common problems of modern people. If you stare at computer, mobile phone and other electronic screens for a long time, bad eye habits and environment may lead to eye fatigue. In order to help people better protect their eyes, Professor Lin, an ophthalmologist in Guangzhou, shared several eye protection tips.

1. Adjust the eye position

Correct eye posture is critical to eye health. First, keep the distance from the electronic screen between 20-28 inches, and the screen should be slightly below the line of sight. Secondly, you should keep a correct sitting posture and avoid bending your head excessively or twisting your body to look at the screen. In addition, every 1-2 hours, you should take a 5-10 minute long look to relax your eyes and muscles.

A good eye posture can reduce eye fatigue, dry eyes and cervical pain. Remember, maintaining correct eye posture is the basis for preventing eye fatigue.

2. Follow the 20-20-20 principle

The 20-20-20 principle means that every 20 minutes, you should move your eyes away from the electronic screen and look 20 feet (about 6 meters) away for 20 seconds. This method helps to reduce the fatigue caused by the eyes' constant gaze on the electronic screen.

Long term fixation of the eyes on the electronic screen will lead to eye fatigue, dryness, blurred vision and other problems. Following the 20-20-20 principle can alleviate eye fatigue and let the eyes rest and recover.

3. Keep good environment and light

It is very important for eye health to maintain a good eye environment and suitable lighting conditions. First of all, avoid too dark or too bright eye environment. Ensure that the indoor light is soft and comfortable to avoid excessive eye irritation. Second, avoid facing strong sunlight or reflected light directly. Use suitable blinds, curtains or sunglasses to block the sun.

In addition, maintaining moderate humidity is also good for eye health. The use of air humidifier or frequent window ventilation can improve the indoor air humidity and reduce the occurrence of dry eyes and fatigue.

4. Frequent blinking and eye exercises

Frequent blinking can effectively moisturize eyes, promote tear secretion, and reduce dryness and fatigue of eyes. Research shows that staring at the electronic screen for a long time will reduce the number of blinks. It is recommended to blink 15-20 times per minute.

In addition, eye exercise is also an important measure to protect eye health. For example, eye exercises such as eye movement, eyelid massage and distance adjustment can strengthen the activity of eye muscles and improve the blood circulation of the eyes.

By adjusting the eye posture, following the 20-20-20 principle, maintaining good environment and lighting conditions, as well as frequent blinking and eye exercises, we can prevent eye fatigue and protect eye health.

Therefore, whether working or studying, it is very important to protect eye health. Following these eye protection tips, we can better prevent eye fatigue and maintain clear and healthy vision.
