How to prevent eye trauma? Guangzhou Zhongshan Fifth Road Ophthalmology Department tells you how!

Eye trauma is a common eye disease, which may lead to visual impairment or even blindness in serious cases. In order to protect the health of our eyes, we need to take some precautions. Next, Guangzhou Zhongshan Fifth Road Ophthalmology Department will elaborate on how to prevent eye injuries from eye protection measures, using eye protectors, avoiding eye fatigue, and guarding against train flying stones.

Eye protection

First of all, we should always maintain good hygiene habits, wash hands frequently, and avoid touching dirty hands with eyes to avoid infection. Secondly, attention should be paid to avoid eye injuries, such as not rubbing eyes, not touching eyes directly with hands, so as to avoid corneal scratches. In addition, it is also very important to keep the eyes moist. Especially in dry environments, eye drops or eye moisturizers can be used to drop eyes to reduce eye discomfort.

In addition, we should also develop a good habit of using our eyes, avoid staring at computers, mobile phone screens and other close eyes for a long time, and take regular breaks and close our eyes to relax. At the same time, pay attention to the environmental health of the eyes, and avoid contact with objects that are easy to cause infection, such as eye cosmetics, swimming pool water, etc.

Use eye protection

When carrying out high-risk activities, such as playing basketball, riding a bicycle, trimming trees, etc., eye protectors, such as goggles, protective masks, etc. should be worn. These protectors can effectively prevent the eyes from being injured due to external impact. In addition, pay attention to the damage or aging of goggles and other protective devices in time to ensure the effectiveness of their protection functions.

Avoid eye fatigue

Prolonged eye use may lead to eye fatigue, which may affect vision health. Therefore, we should follow the 20-20-20 principle, that is, look at objects 20 feet away every 20 minutes for 20 seconds to alleviate eye fatigue. In addition, it is necessary to maintain a good eye posture, not bow down, not bend over, keep a proper distance from the screen, and properly adjust the brightness and contrast of the screen to avoid excessive eye irritation.

In addition, good nutrition is also crucial to eye health. Take more foods rich in vitamin A, C, E, zinc, selenium and other antioxidant substances, such as carrots, spinach, oranges, strawberries, nuts, etc., to protect your eyes from free radicals.

Watch out for train flying rocks

When taking a train, we should be alert to the damage to the eyes caused by flying rocks. Therefore, we should keep the windows closed when taking the train, and do not stand on the train platform near the track in the area where the train passes and during the driving time. In case of eye injury caused by train flying stones, professional ophthalmologists should be immediately sought for examination and treatment.

These are some ways to prevent eye injuries. By taking proper protective measures, using protective equipment, avoiding eye fatigue and being alert to train flying rocks, we can protect our eyes from injury to the maximum extent and maintain good eyesight and eye health.
