Methods for preventing myopia mainly include the following points:
1. Maintain proper viewing distance: Keep an appropriate distance when using your eyes, especially when using electronic devices—stay farther away from screens and take regular breaks.
2. Increase outdoor activities: Engage more in outdoor activities to give your eyes sufficient rest and relaxation, which helps prevent myopia.
3. Pay attention to the visual environment: Avoid using your eyes in overly bright or dim lighting conditions to reduce eye strain.
4. Regular eye examinations: Have routine eye check-ups to detect and correct vision problems such as myopia at an early stage.
5. Balanced diet: Maintain a balanced diet with adequate intake of vitamins and minerals to support eye health.
