Winter is coming

As the temperature difference between day and night increases

Weakened sunlight

Children and adolescents will spend less time outdoors

The time of using eyes at close range increases

Myopia prevention and control will face new pressure

So, how should we protect our eyes in winter?

Pay attention to UV protection

According to research, winter and spring are the seasons with the lowest ozone content in the world. Without the ozone layer, the ultraviolet rays in the sun are more rampant. The ultraviolet rays in the sun, especially the blue light, can cause great harm to the human eyes. They can penetrate the lens of the eye to reach the retina, causing photochemical damage to the retina, directly or indirectly causing damage to the cells in the macula. Therefore, when playing outdoor sports, you can wear sunglasses or a sun hat.

Do some outdoor exercise

The weather is cold in winter, and most people like to stay indoors. Their eyes are exposed to computers and other electronic products for a long time, without sufficient rest, which can easily cause visual fatigue.

Parents can take their children to do appropriate outdoor sports, which can balance blood pressure, reduce intraocular pressure, and reduce the chance of myopia. On the other hand, they can look into the distance, relax the eyes, and relieve eye fatigue.

Blinking frequently

It is dry in winter and tears evaporate quickly. Blinking frequently is beneficial to the secretion of tears, which can promote eye moisture and protect the eyeball.

Strengthen eye nutrition supplement

In daily life, in addition to increasing the intake of protein, calcium, phosphorus and other substances to enhance the toughness of the sclera, children should also eat more foods rich in lutein and other nutrients needed for the eyes, such as: apples, blueberries, tomatoes, carrots and other fruits and vegetables, which can be used as daily sources of eye nutrition.
