The importance of preventing myopia
The eye is one of the commonly used sensory organs of human beings. However, due to the long-term use of electronic products, lack of outdoor activities and other factors, the incidence of myopia is increasing. Myopia not only affects vision, but also may cause eye diseases. Therefore, the prevention of myopia has become an important part of public health issues. Guangzhou Huangpu, Department of Ophthalmology and Optometry of Sun Yat sen University, with its professional medical technology and rich experience, provides the majority of patients with effective methods and measures to prevent myopia.
Keep good eye habits
Good eye habits are the first step to prevent myopia. First of all, when using electronic products, attention should be paid to maintaining the correct eye distance (20-30cm) to avoid excessive eye use. Secondly, you should take a 10-15 minute break every hour and do eye relaxation exercises, such as looking at the distance, closing your eyes for rest, etc. In addition, scientific and reasonable arrangement of time and outdoor activities also play an important role in preventing myopia.
Regular eye exercises are also part of maintaining good eye habits. Eye exercises can improve the range of eye movement, enhance the flexibility of extraocular muscles, promote eye blood circulation, and have a positive effect on alleviating eye fatigue. In addition, appropriate eye massage and cold compress can be selected to promote blood circulation and relieve eye discomfort.
The incidence of myopia is also related to genetic factors. If parents have myopia, then children have a greater chance of myopia. Therefore, for people who are prone to myopia, regular eye examinations should be carried out in childhood. Timely detection and correction of vision problems can prevent myopia from worsening.
A nutritionally balanced diet
A balanced diet is also important to prevent myopia. This mainly includes vitamin and mineral supplements. Vitamin A is very important for the health of eyes. It can maintain the health of corneal epithelial cells and participate in the synthesis of rhodopsin.
In addition, xanthoglycolin is a natural antioxidant that has been proven to help protect the eyes from UV damage. Foods rich in lysergin include spinach, cabbage, cauliflower, corn, etc. In addition, vitamin C, vitamin E and other antioxidant substances can reduce the damage of free radicals to the eyes.
In addition, moderate supplementation of minerals such as calcium and zinc also has a certain impact on the growth and development of the eyes. Good eating habits are of positive significance for improving eye health and preventing myopia.
Regular eye examination
Regular eye examination is an important link to prevent myopia. Through regular inspection, doctors can find and correct vision problems in time to prevent myopia from worsening. Eye examination generally includes vision examination, diopter examination, fundus examination, etc.
Through the visual inspection, we can know whether there is a problem with our vision. The diopter test can determine whether glasses or contact lenses need to be worn. Fundus examination can show the blood vessels, nerves and other conditions inside the eyeball, and detect whether there are other potential eye diseases, such as glaucoma.
