How can we prevent myopia?

In general, myopia can be prevented by increasing outdoor activity time, arranging eye usage time reasonably, maintaining correct reading and writing posture, undergoing regular vision examinations, and ensuring a balanced diet and nutritional supplementation.

1. Increase outdoor activity time: At least two hours of outdoor activity per day can effectively prevent the onset and progression of myopia. Outdoor activities not only provide sufficient far-viewing stimulation but also allow the eyes to be exposed to more natural light, which helps maintain normal eye axis development.

2. Arrange eye usage time reasonably: Avoid prolonged near-eye activities such as reading, writing, or using electronic screens. Follow the "20-20-20" rule, which means every 20 minutes of work, look at an object approximately 6 meters away for 20 seconds to reduce eye fatigue.

3. Maintain correct reading and writing posture: Ensure sufficient lighting when reading and writing, and avoid using eyes in overly bright or dim environments; books or screens should be positioned approximately 40 centimeters from the eyes, with the center of the screen slightly below eye level.

4. Undergo regular vision examinations: Children should have their vision checked at least once a year to detect and address vision problems early, preventing further deterioration of myopia.

5. Balanced diet and nutritional supplementation: Ensuring sufficient intake of eye-benefiting nutrients such as vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, and Omega-3 fatty acids helps maintain eye health.

In daily life, it is recommended to consistently perform eye exercises to promote ocular blood circulation, relieve visual fatigue, and help prevent myopia.
