New Horizon News Report: How to prevent careless myopia?
In today's society, myopia has become a common eye health problem, especially in young people. In order to better prevent myopia, Shanghai Eye Hospital summarized the following four prevention measures for everyone.
1. Ensure a good eye environment
A good eye environment plays a vital role in preventing myopia. First, keep sufficient indoor and outdoor light to avoid being in a dark or too bright environment for a long time. Secondly, when using electronic products correctly, such as computers and mobile phones, it is recommended to take a ten minute break every hour, and pay attention to maintaining proper eye distance and posture. In addition, it is also very important to avoid long-term close eye use behaviors such as staying up late and reading for a long time to prevent myopia.
Secondly, getting rid of bad eye habits is also an important step to prevent myopia. Do not stare at objects at close range for a long time, especially small font books or screens. Every once in a while, you can relax your eyes by looking out of the window or doing eye exercises. The implementation of regular eye exercises can enhance the flexibility of eye muscles and improve the adjustment ability of eyes.
Finally, keeping good health habits is also one of the key factors to prevent myopia. Wash your hands frequently, do not rub your eyes, do not touch glasses or contact lenses randomly, and keep the eye area clean.
2. Eat a balanced diet and take proper nutrition
A proper and balanced diet is essential for eye health. Antioxidant substances such as vitamin A, C and E, and trace elements such as zinc and selenium, which are rich in food, are important nutrients to protect eyes. It is recommended to eat more foods rich in these nutrients, such as carrots, spinach, oranges, lemons, walnuts, etc., to increase the resistance of eye tissues.
In addition, proper intake of protein rich foods such as fish, seafood, nuts and bean products can provide nutrients for normal eye development and maintenance.
Try to avoid the intake of foods with high salt, sugar and fat to reduce and prevent the risk of eye diseases.
3. Regular eye health examination
Regular eye health examination is one of the most important steps to prevent myopia. Ophthalmologists can assess the risk of myopia by examining such parameters as the refractive index of the eye, fundus condition and axial length of the eye. Regular examination can also help to find eye problems as early as possible and carry out intervention treatment to reduce the possibility of myopia.
In addition, for people who need glasses, timely replacement of appropriate glasses is also an important part of myopia prevention. Improper glasses will bring extra burden to the eyes and increase the risk of myopia.
4. Scientific and reasonable eye exercises
Scientific and reasonable eye exercises have a positive impact on the prevention of myopia. Some simple eye exercises, such as eye movement, up and down, left and right eye movements, and pressing the eyes, can effectively alleviate eye fatigue and promote eye blood circulation.
However, it should be noted that eye exercises can not replace good eye habits and regular eye health checks. Only scientific and reasonable eye exercises and other measures to prevent myopia can better prevent the occurrence of myopia.
Summary
To prevent eyeglasses from being hasty and short-sighted, we should start with a good eye environment, a balanced diet, regular eye health examinations and scientific and reasonable eye exercises. Through the implementation of these specific measures, we can effectively reduce the risk of myopia and protect eye health. Especially for teenagers, it is very important to develop a good habit of using eyes, increase outdoor activity time and moderate eye exercises to maintain good eyesight.
