The prevalence of myopia makes it essential to prevent myopia. While many people think that myopia prevention requires expensive surgery or **, in reality, we can take a low-cost approach to myopia prevention.
1. Control the time and distance of eye use.
The 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, away from a screen or book, look at an object 20 feet (about 6 meters) away for 20 seconds. This helps to relieve eye fatigue and eye pressure, reducing the risk of myopia.
Correct eye distance: Maintain an appropriate eye distance and avoid being too close to electronic screens or books. In general, keeping a screen or book at a distance of 30-40 cm from your eyes is an appropriate value.
2. Develop good eye Xi.
Correct sitting posture: Maintain a correct sitting posture, keep your head and body upright, and avoid bowing your head or writing at your desk for too long.
Moderate lighting: Maintain a well-lit environment and avoid excessively bright or dark environments to reduce eye fatigue and discomfort.
Blink regularly: Avoid staring at screens or books for long periods of time and blink regularly to keep your eyes moist and comfortable.
3. Reasonable diet and living Xi.
Eat more nutrients: Get rich in vitamins A, C and E, which are beneficial for eye health. Eat foods rich in these vitamins, such as red peppers, carrots, spinach, and oranges.
Seeing distant objects: Reasonably increase the observation of distant objects in the eye, and relax the adjustment muscles of the eyes by looking at distant objects, which can help prevent myopia.
4. Regular eye exercises.
Eye movement: Maintaining eye movements, such as turning up and down, left and right, drawing circles, etc., can stimulate eye muscle activity and enhance the ability to adjust.
Eye Massage: Use your fingertips to gently massage around the eyes, including the brow bone, eye sockets and temple area, to help promote blood circulation and relieve eye fatigue.
Preventing myopia does not necessarily require expensive surgery or **, we can prevent myopia at low cost by controlling eye time and distance, cultivating good eye Xi habits, reasonable diet and lifestyle Xi habits, and regular eye exercises. These simple methods only need to pour some extra attention and effort, but they can have a positive impact, but once the child is found to have eye or vision problems, it is recommended to find a professional institution for diagnosis as soon as possible.
