Myopia can be prevented through lifestyle modifications. Adolescents should engage in at least two hours of outdoor activity daily. In daily life, caregivers should closely monitor children’s visual habits and ensure they read and write under adequate lighting. Additionally, children with weak constitutions should pay attention to their diet: avoiding spicy, stimulating foods and high-sugar foods, and maintaining a balanced, nutritious diet.
