Therefore, it is recommended that everyone minimize the time spent using electronic devices and take a break from the screen every once in a while.
Maintain proper sitting posture and distance
Whether it's Xi or working, we should maintain the correct sitting posture and distance. Writing posture should be upright, one foot away from the book, do not lie on the stomach or lie down to read, do not read in bright light or dim places. Proper sitting posture can reduce pressure on the cervical and lumbar spine, while correct distance can reduce eye strain. In addition, the use of blue-light blocking glasses or patches can also reduce the burden on the eyes.
Eat a balanced diet
Diet also has a big impact on eye health. We should eat more nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, and avoid excessive sugar and fat intake. In addition, supplementing with antioxidants such as vitamins C and E can also protect the eyes from free radical damage. Consume enough nutrients such as vitamins and minerals, especially those that are good for the eyes, such as vitamin A, lutein, etc.
Avoid reading continuously for long periods of time
Every once in a while, you should give your eyes a break, for example, every 50 minutes or so, you should rest your eyes for a while, look into the distance, or do some eye exercises to relieve eye fatigue.

Participating in outdoor activities and spending more time in the sun can help prevent the onset and progression of myopia.
