Li Qian, an ophthalmologist in Guangzhou, how to prevent vision loss?
Vision loss is a common problem faced by modern people. Long term use of electronic equipment, poor living habits, lack of nutrition and other factors may lead to vision loss. As an ophthalmologist, I have worked in a well-known eye hospital in Guangzhou for many years and accumulated some experience and suggestions on preventing vision loss. Next, I will elaborate on the methods to prevent vision loss from four aspects.
Keep the correct habit of using eyes
Long term use of electronic equipment has become the norm of modern life. However, excessive use of electronic equipment will increase the burden on the eyes, leading to decreased vision. First of all, to maintain the correct eye distance, electronic equipment is recommended to keep 30-40cm away from the eyes. Secondly, you should often rest your eyes. If you use electronic equipment every 60 minutes, you should rest 5-10 minutes away from the screen, look into the distance or close your eyes to relax. In addition, it is necessary to maintain good indoor light, avoid direct glare to the eyes, and timely adjust the screen brightness and contrast.
In addition to electronic equipment, reading and learning are also unavoidable in our daily life. Correct reading posture can reduce eye fatigue and protect eyesight. When reading, you should keep a correct posture, keep your eyes 30-40 cm away from the book, avoid reading for too long, and do appropriate eye activities at regular intervals.
Good living habits
Good living habits are essential to prevent vision loss. Keeping enough sleep can effectively relieve eye fatigue and help the recovery and metabolism of eye tissues. Adults are advised to keep 7-8 hours of sleep every day, and adolescents need 9-10 hours of adequate sleep.
Reasonable diet is also an important factor in protecting eyesight. The human body needs a variety of vitamins and minerals to maintain normal eye function, especially vitamins A, C and E are very important for eye health. It is recommended to eat more foods rich in these vitamins, such as carrots, tomatoes, citrus fruits, nuts, etc. In addition, an appropriate amount of protein, fat and minerals can also support the health of eye tissues.
Regular eye examination
Regular eye examination is an important link to prevent vision loss. Regular eye examination can detect and treat eye diseases as early as possible, and avoid further development of the disease. Especially for people with myopia, an eye examination should be carried out every year to understand the vision changes and eye conditions. In case of vision loss or eye discomfort, see an ophthalmologist in time to avoid delayed treatment.
In eye examination, doctors will provide personalized suggestions and treatment plans for patients according to individual conditions, such as glasses, surgery, etc. Following the doctor's advice for treatment can better protect vision and slow down the degree of vision decline.
Eye exercises and eye massage
Eye exercises and eye massage are simple and effective eye care methods in daily life. Eye exercises can exercise the eye muscles, increase the activity of the eyes, and alleviate eye fatigue. Common eye exercises include eye movement, up, down, left and right eye movements, and far and near adjustment movements. Eye massage can promote blood circulation around the eyes and relieve eye fatigue. When massaging, you can gently rub the part between the temples and eyebrows with both hands, or gently massage the points around the eyes with the ring finger.
Adhering to eye exercises and eye massage can improve the adaptability and anti fatigue ability of the eyes and prevent vision loss.
To sum up, maintaining correct eye habits, good living habits, regular eye examinations, eye exercises and eye massage are the key to prevent vision loss. In our daily life, we should pay attention to eye health, pay attention to the prevention and protection of vision, so as to maintain a clear and bright vision.
