Close your eyes and don’t wait for the May Day holiday!

The May Day holiday is coming. Some people choose to stay at home and relax, immerse themselves in TV series, sleep or get together with friends and relatives; some people choose to go out and enjoy the beauty and tranquility of nature. But no matter when and where, we should cherish the health of our eyes. Below, we share some practical eye protection tips, and hope that you can also protect the windows of your soul during your happy holiday.

May Day Eye Care Tips

Take breaks and stay away from electronic screens

The widespread use of electronic devices has undoubtedly brought convenience to our lives, but staring at the screen for a long time will put a burden on the eyes. Therefore, we should stay away from electronic screens every once in a while to let our eyes fully relax and rest. At the same time, we should adjust the screen brightness, contrast and other settings to reduce the stimulation to the eyes.

Follow the 20-20-20 rule

When you use electronic devices for a long time or concentrate on reading or writing, you might want to try the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look away from the screen and look at an object 20 feet (about 6 meters) away for 20 seconds. This simple method can relieve eye fatigue and dryness.

Wear goggles

If you work long hours or indulge in electronic entertainment, you may want to consider wearing a pair of goggles. They can provide a protective barrier for your eyes, reduce eye fatigue, UV and blue light damage, and thus reduce eye stress.

Dietary adjustment for brighter eyes

A healthy diet is also important for protecting your eyes. Eating fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins A, C and E, such as carrots, spinach, and citrus fruits, can help prevent eye diseases such as cataracts. At the same time, omega-3 fatty acids in fish are also good for eye health.

Avoid prolonged exposure to strong light

Outdoor activities are pleasant, but the ultraviolet rays and blue light in the sun may cause damage to the eyes. Therefore, please take sun protection measures when going out and wear UV-proof sunglasses to reduce damage to the eyes.

Eyes are the windows to the soul, and protecting eye health is our common responsibility. During the May Day holiday, let us enjoy the happy time while not forgetting to take care of these precious eyes. If you experience eye discomfort or sudden eye disease, please seek medical attention in time. I wish you a happy and healthy May Day holiday!
