Improving vision mainly involves protecting the eyes, enhancing the visual environment, and performing appropriate eye exercises. Here are some practical suggestions: 1. Take regular breaks: Follow the "20-20-20" rule—every 20 minutes of screen time, shift your gaze to an object at least 20 feet (approximately 6 meters) away for 20 seconds, to reduce eye fatigue. 2. Adequate lighting: Ensure sufficient illumination in work and reading areas, avoiding excessively bright or dim lighting, to reduce the focusing burden on the eyes. 3. Eye exercises: Perform regular eye exercises such as rotating the eyeballs, looking up, down, left and right, and blinking, to promote ocular blood circulation. 4. Balanced nutrition: Consume foods rich in vitamins A, C, and E, which are beneficial for eye health. 5. Correct posture: Maintain proper sitting posture while reading and writing, avoiding excessive bending or tilting of the head. 6. Wear protective eyewear: Use blue light filtering glasses when necessary to reduce eye damage caused by electronic devices. Note: If there is significant vision loss or other visual problems, seek medical attention promptly.
