How to prevent myopia
Myopia has become a common problem, especially among young people. In order to effectively prevent the occurrence of myopia, Professor Ma Jin of Zhongshan Eye Hospital put forward the following suggestions.
Keep good posture
Good posture can effectively reduce eye pressure and reduce the risk of myopia. First of all, correct sitting posture is very important. Try to keep your torso straight and shoulders relaxed, and avoid looking down at your mobile phone or computer for a long time. Secondly, when writing or reading, keep an appropriate distance and angle to reduce the excessive fatigue of the eyes. In addition, after using electronic products, you should rest your eyes at the right time to overlook green plants or distant scenery to help adjust the focus of your eyes on the distance.
Professor Ma Jin also suggested that appropriate eye relaxation exercises can be carried out after long-term myopia and eye muscle fatigue. For example, blinking, gazing at a distance, and alternating looking at near and far objects with both eyes will help alleviate eye fatigue and protect vision.
Reasonably arrange eye use time
Frequent and prolonged eye use is one of the main causes of myopia. Therefore, it is very important to arrange eye use time reasonably. Professor Ma Jin suggested that we should keep a certain amount of time for outdoor activities every day, especially in sunny days. Outdoor activities not only help relax the eye muscles, but also allow the eyes to get sufficient rest and adjustment.
In addition, for people who have been exposed to electronic products for a long time, it is necessary to carry out eye examinations regularly, adjust their eye habits in time and take necessary protective measures, such as wearing eye protection lenses, reasonably adjusting the screen brightness, etc.
Pay attention to correct eye posture
Correct eye posture is essential to prevent myopia. When reading or using electronic equipment, keep a proper distance, place the book or screen 30-50 cm away from the eyes, and keep the head and neck upright. Avoid using your eyes in an environment with insufficient light, and try to avoid blurry handwriting when reading.
In addition, reasonable arrangement of study and work time, avoiding continuous long time eye use, and regular eye exercises and eye massage will help alleviate eye fatigue and protect vision.
Good living habits and diet
Good living habits and diet are also important factors to prevent myopia. Good sleep habits are conducive to the relaxation and recovery of eye muscles. It is recommended to keep adequate sleep every night.
Proper diet is also an important link to prevent myopia. Adequate intake of vitamins A, C and E, as well as zinc, selenium and other trace elements will help improve eye health. At the same time, we should pay attention to the proper intake of foods rich in carotene and cellulose in our diet, such as carrots, tomatoes, red dates, etc., to help protect our eyesight.
Professor Ma Jin's suggestions provide powerful guidance and reference for the prevention of myopia. We can effectively prevent myopia and protect our vision health by maintaining good posture, reasonably arranging eye use time, paying attention to correct eye use posture, and good living habits and diet.
Summary
The prevention of myopia is a problem that everyone should pay attention to. In order to effectively prevent myopia, we can start from many aspects, such as maintaining good posture, reasonably arranging eye use time, paying attention to correct eye use posture, good living habits and food conditioning. Professor Ma Jin's suggestion from Zhongshan Eye Hospital provides us with practical guidance. By actively taking measures, we can better protect our vision health.
