How to prevent myopia

To prevent myopia, the key lies in developing good eye-use habits and a healthy lifestyle. 1. Maintain proper eye-use posture: When reading or studying, keep an appropriate distance between your eyes and the book to avoid eye strain caused by holding it too close. At the same time, maintain correct sitting posture and avoid tilting your head or reading while lying down. 2. Control eye-use duration: Avoid prolonged continuous use of the eyes. Take a 5–10 minute break every 40 minutes to look into the distance and relax your eyes. 3. Increase outdoor activities: Spend at least two hours daily on outdoor activities, which helps reduce the risk of developing myopia. 4. Ensure suitable lighting: Make sure lighting is adequate and soft when reading or writing; avoid using your eyes in overly dim or excessively bright environments. 5. Maintain a balanced diet: Eat more foods rich in vitamins and trace elements, such as carrots and animal liver, which contribute to eye health.
