Three things you must do during the dog days (not the dog days stickers~)

As high temperatures in many parts of the country frequently become hot searches

We have arrived at the hottest time of the year.

Today is the first day of the dog days of summer.

How can we keep our eyes safe during the summer?

The following "three defenses" need to be done well!

1. Prevent cataracts

The dog days of summer are here, and people will protect their skin from the sun when they go out. But have you protected your eyes from the sun? According to data released by the World Health Organization, more than 2 million cases of cataracts worldwide may be caused by long-term sun exposure. Dean Cao Xiangrong of Tianjin University Aier Eye Hospital said that cataracts are a common blinding eye disease worldwide. For some elderly people with underlying eye diseases, cataract patients, and teenagers and children, it is important to protect their eyes from the sun.

Prevention Guide

1. Try to avoid staying in strong light for a long time;

2. Wear sunglasses that protect against ultraviolet rays when going out;

3. If you experience any discomfort, seek medical attention as soon as possible.

2. Prevent pink eye

During the dog days of summer, swimming has become a good place for everyone to escape the heat and have fun. While enjoying the coolness, don't forget to prevent the occurrence of conjunctivitis. Swimming pools contain germs and disinfectants. Although they have been disinfected, there are still bacteria and viruses. If they accidentally enter the eyes, it will cause conjunctivitis. Conjunctivitis is an acute bacterial or viral conjunctivitis, which is an acute infectious disease with a strong infectiousness.

Prevention Guide

1. Keep yourself clean and bring your own swimsuit, swimming trunks and towel;

2. Avoid wearing contact lenses when swimming;

3. Try to avoid rubbing your eyes with your hands;

4. Seek medical attention promptly if you experience symptoms such as red eyes, itching, or increased secretions;

5. Pay attention to hygiene and isolation after conjunctivitis occurs.

3. Prevent dry eyes

In the scorching sun, only air conditioning can save lives. However, if you use air conditioning for a long time, it is easy to have red eyes, dry eyes, itchy eyes, and even photophobia, tearing, blurred vision and other symptoms. At this time, you may have "air conditioning eye disease" - dry eyes. Dry eyes are not only suffered by adults, but also children and adolescents!

Prevention Guide

Blink more, please follow the blinking exercise!

1. Close your eyes for 2 seconds

2. Close your eyes tightly for 2 seconds

3. Open your eyes for another 2 seconds

(One minute of training each time, 10 blinking exercises a day will keep you energetic all day long!)

Let us protect our eyes together

Spend this summer happily and healthily!
