How to prevent myopia?
In recent years, myopia has shown a trend of rapid growth worldwide. In order to help everyone better understand the prevention of myopia, the author was lucky to interview Yi Director of Guangzhou Aier Ophthalmology Department to give us some advice. In this article, we will elaborate on how to prevent myopia from four aspects: eye care, correct eye use, balanced nutrition and regular inspection.
Eye care
Eye care is the first step to prevent myopia. First of all, we should maintain a good eye environment, maintain sufficient light, and avoid staring at the electronic device screen for a long time. In addition, every once in a while, we need to carry out farsighted activities to stay away from near eye fatigue.
Secondly, correct eye rubbing and eye massage can promote eye blood circulation and alleviate eye fatigue. Rub your eyes gently with both hands, close your eyes and relax for a few minutes, or massage the points around your eyes with fingers, which are all effective eye care methods.
Finally, maintaining moderate indoor humidity is also an important part of preventing myopia. Try to use a humidifier to keep the indoor humidity between 40% and 60% to avoid excessively dry eyes.
Use eyes correctly
Correct eye use is the key to prevent myopia. First of all, we should pay attention to the control of eye use time, and take a rest of 5 to 10 minutes after every 60 minutes of work. During the rest, you can look into the distance or do eye relaxation exercises.
Secondly, the correct use of electronic equipment is also an important part of the prevention of myopia. Keeping a proper distance, keeping the correct posture of the head and body, and adjusting the brightness and contrast of the equipment can effectively reduce the risk of myopia.
In addition, correct reading posture is also the key to prevent myopia. Keep your body upright, at an appropriate distance from the book or screen, and keep your vertical line of sight down, so that your eyes are in the best focus state.
Nutritional balance
Balanced nutrition is vital to eye health. Vitamin A is the key to maintain the health of the retina. Therefore, it is very beneficial to eat foods rich in vitamin A every day, such as carrots, spinach and tomatoes, to prevent myopia.
In addition, Omega-3 fatty acids are also important nutrients to protect eye health. Foods such as fish, flaxseed and walnuts are rich in this important fatty acid, which can help prevent eye diseases.
Finally, increasing the intake of antioxidant foods can also play a role in protecting the eyes. Foods such as blueberries, green tea and red peppers are rich in antioxidants, which can help reduce eye fatigue.
Regular inspection
Regular examination is an important link to prevent myopia. An eye examination once a year can detect eye problems as early as possible and take timely measures to intervene.
The ophthalmologist will help us assess the risk of myopia and give appropriate advice. If myopia has occurred, doctors may recommend wearing glasses or contact lenses, as well as vision training.
Regular inspection can also find and timely treat other eye diseases, such as abnormal intraocular pressure and keratopathy, to further protect eye health.
summary
We can effectively prevent myopia through efforts in four aspects: eye care, correct eye use, balanced nutrition and regular inspection. With the development of science and technology, our life cannot be separated from electronic equipment, but through correct eye habits and healthy lifestyle, we can protect our eyes from myopia.
