Take a break and avoid screen fatigue

During the Spring Festival, whether it is grabbing red envelopes, watching TV series or sending New Year greetings via video, it is easy for us to stare at electronic screens for a long time. Remember to relax by looking into the distance every 20 minutes, do eye exercises, give your eyes a break, and avoid "digital eye fatigue."

Balanced diet, nutritional eye protection

There are endless delicious foods during the Spring Festival. You may want to choose more foods rich in vitamins A, C, E and trace elements such as zinc and selenium, such as carrots, spinach, fish and nuts. They are very beneficial to eye health, can effectively resist oxidation and protect the retina.

Maintain hygiene to prevent infection

During the Spring Festival, there are many people and many objects that are touched by hands. Please remember to wash your hands frequently and avoid rubbing your eyes directly with your hands to reduce the risk of eye infection. If you wear contact lenses, you should pay more attention to cleaning and disinfection.

Arrange your work and rest schedule properly and get enough sleep

Good sleep is the key to rejuvenating your eyes. Try to maintain a regular schedule and get at least 7-8 hours of high-quality sleep every night to give your eyes a full rest and reduce the appearance of dark circles and eye bags.

Moderate exercise to promote blood circulation

During the Spring Festival, you may want to take a walk with your family, do yoga, or do some relaxing family exercises. These activities can promote blood circulation throughout the body, including the tiny blood vessels in the eyes, which helps relieve eye fatigue and enhance vision.

Wear protection and stay away from fireworks

When watching fireworks, remember to wear goggles to prevent sparks or dust from entering your eyes and causing unnecessary damage. Protecting your eyes is equally important to safely enjoy the brilliance of the festival.

In this spring full of hope, let us start from the details, take care of eye health, and let clear vision accompany every happy moment. May your mood be as beautiful as a flower and your eyes be as bright as stars in the new year!
