For you who are traveling outside

1. Do not rub if foreign matter enters your eyes

Dust is very likely to appear in the dry autumn. Once a foreign object enters the eye, the first reaction may be to rub the eye directly with the hand, but there are many invisible bacteria on the hand, which can easily be rubbed into the eye and cause allergic conjunctivitis. The correct way is: blink a few times, the foreign object will flow out with tears, and then wipe it out gently with a clean tissue. If you cannot handle it yourself, you should seek medical attention in time.

2. Wear polarized sunglasses when traveling by car

Polarized sunglasses have two functions. One is polarization: they can only pass light waves vibrating in a certain direction, which can reduce road reflections and glare while driving without reducing illumination. The second is the function of sunglasses, which will darken under sunlight, preventing excessive ultraviolet rays from entering the eyes, making it more conducive to safe travel.

3. It is recommended to wear frame glasses when traveling long distances by plane

It is best to wear ordinary frame glasses when flying. It is not recommended to wear contact lenses because it is inconvenient to carry eye drops and other liquids with you on the plane, and the environment in the cabin is different from that in daily life, such as humidity, air pressure, gravity, etc., which may cause dryness and foreign body sensation.

4. Maintain sufficient outdoor exercise time

Studies have shown that two hours of outdoor exercise every day can effectively prevent myopia, because under the irradiation of sunlight, a certain amount of dopamine will be released, and dopamine can inhibit the growth of the eye axis and myopia.

Therefore, you should do at least 2 hours of outdoor exercise every day during the holidays, especially small ball sports such as table tennis, badminton, etc., which can not only relax your eyes, but also be beneficial to your physical and mental health.

5 Things to avoid if you have high myopia

Usually myopia of more than 600 degrees is clinically defined as high myopia. Once high myopia occurs, as the eye axis is significantly elongated, the retina will also be elongated, thinned, degenerated, and even develop holes.

Therefore, for people with high myopia, the fundus is relatively fragile. If they engage in stimulating activities, it is easy to cause greater pressure on the eye body, and in severe cases, retinal detachment may occur, which will cause irreparable damage. Therefore, during the holidays, people with high myopia should be careful not to play stimulating entertainment projects such as disco and roller coaster.

For you who watch the world at home

1Good eating habits

Don't go to bed late and get up late just because it's a holiday, which will disrupt your biological clock. It is recommended to keep a regular schedule every day and try not to stay up late; ensure water intake, a healthy diet, and an appropriate intake of vitamin A, lutein, etc., such as blueberries, carrots, spinach, etc.

2. Control the time of using electronic products

Watching TV or playing IPAD for a long time often makes people forget to blink, which can easily lead to spasm of the ciliary muscles used for eye focus, dry eyes and fatigue, and may also induce dry eyes. It is recommended to blink more, and get up and look into the distance or close your eyes for 5 minutes every half an hour. Follow the 20-20-20 principle, use your eyes at close range for 20 minutes, and look into the distance at 20 feet (6 meters) for 20 seconds.

3. Reading light is important

Do not read in places where the light is too strong, too weak, or flickering. If the sun shines directly on the desk through the window, draw the gauze curtains when writing. When the room is not well lit, use a desk lamp to supplement the light and turn on the indoor lighting at the same time. When reading and writing, the light should come in from the upper left.
