How to prevent myopia progression?
Myopia is a common ophthalmic problem, which brings a lot of inconvenience to people's life. However, we can take some preventive measures to slow down the progress of myopia and protect our eyesight. Here are four ways to help prevent myopia.
Reasonable eye use
Long term close eye use is one of the important reasons for the deepening of myopia. Therefore, we need to reasonably arrange eye use time and rest time. After using your eyes at a short distance for a period of time, you should rest for 5 to 10 minutes, stay away from the screen and books, and focus on distant objects. In addition, avoid playing with mobile phones and other electronic products for a long time, and pay attention to maintaining correct eye posture.
In addition, light is also an important factor affecting eye use. Strong light will lead to eye fatigue and increase the risk of myopia. Therefore, it is very helpful to prevent myopia by using eyes under moderate lighting conditions and avoiding eye fatigue as far as possible.
In addition, it is also important to control the time of eye use. For example, watching TV and playing video games for a long time will increase the risk of myopia. Pay attention to properly control the time of these recreational activities and avoid excessive eye use.
Keep good study and living habits
Good study and living habits are important means to prevent myopia. It is very important to ensure adequate sleep time and develop the habit of going to bed early and getting up early to protect eyesight. In addition, a balanced diet also has a great impact on eye health. Take more foods rich in vitamin A, C, E, zinc and other nutrients, such as carrots, laver, eggs and fruits, to help maintain eye health.
In terms of learning, the risk of vision damage can be reduced by correctly placing books, maintaining proper reading distance, and avoiding long-term close eye contact.
outdoor activities
Outdoor activities are very beneficial to prevent myopia. The ultraviolet rays in the sun and the distant environment have a good stimulating effect on the eyes. At least 1 to 2 hours of outdoor activities every day can effectively prevent the occurrence and progress of myopia. Therefore, parents should encourage children to participate in outdoor activities and increase the time for outdoor activities.
Visual protection for children
Children have a high incidence of myopia, and visual protection for children is more important. Children's ophthalmic examination shall be carried out regularly to detect myopia as soon as possible. If necessary, you can choose to wear appropriate glasses or contact lenses. In addition, parents should guide their children to develop a good habit of using eyes, control the time of using eyes, keep a distance, and avoid bad habits of using eyes from affecting their eyesight.
