How do teenagers prevent myopia

Preventing myopia is very important for teenagers. Here are some suggestions:

Keep good eye habits: avoid using eyes continuously for a long time, and take a rest every once in a while. You can adopt the 2-2-2 rule, that is, look at the distance for 2 seconds every 2 minutes, which can reduce eye fatigue.

keep the correct lighting environment: ensure sufficient light, avoid using eyes in weak light environment, and avoid strong reflected light.

keep the correct eye distance: keep books, screens and other objects at an appropriate distance from the eyes. Generally speaking, it is more appropriate for books to be 3-4cm away from the eyes.

control screen time: avoid staring at electronic screens for a long time, especially small screen devices such as mobile phones and tablets.

outdoor activities: outdoor activities help to relax the eye muscles and slow down the development of myopia. Encourage children to do some outdoor activities every day.

keep a good sitting posture: when reading or using electronic equipment, keep a good sitting posture and avoid hunching over.

Maintain a balanced diet: Vitamins A, C, E and zinc contained in food have positive effects on eye health, so it is also important to maintain a balanced diet.

Regular eye check-up: Go to the hospital or eye clinic for regular eye check-up to find and deal with vision problems in time.

avoid overdose: some drugs may have adverse effects on eyes, especially long-term and large-scale use of some drugs.

avoid staying up late: staying up late will make your eyes tired and affect your eyesight, so try to keep a regular routine.

It should be emphasized that preventing myopia is a long-term process, and attention should be paid to all kinds of details in life. If the child has myopia, take timely measures, such as wearing appropriate glasses or contact lenses, and treat and correct according to the doctor's advice.
