Six Common Errors in Eye Protection
No one dares to doubt the importance of our eyes, thus, all sorts of eye protection measures appear. But which one fits us? Which one is right? That is the problem. Now, the following tips will help drive your doubts away.
Six Common Errors in Eye Protection
Error 1: Does watch TV in a short distance or read in dim room would damage our eyes? The answer is “yes”. Reading in dim places or keeping too close to the TV set will easily make our eyes dry. So when read in a close distance, we should maintain 60-100 watts bulb brightness. As we read books and surf the internet, we should avoid the dazzling desk lamp shining our eyes directly, and maintain soft lightning.
In addition, we should remove our eyes every 10 minutes from the computer screen to other distant places.
Error 2: When we feel eye fatigue, just have a good rest, and then everything will be OK. The conclusion is that it is wrong. Just sleeping can not relieve eye fatigue. In order to relax our eyes, the correct way is to gaze at a distant place or look up and down, or move the eyeballs from left to right. Some people may think rely on watching a distant place can help alleviate eye fatigue, actually, that is not enough. The basic rule is to shorten the time you look at close articles, not make the distance of your eyesight long.
Error 3: Nearsighted people are not easy to catch presbyopia when they grow old, so it is nothing for young people to get nearsighted? This kind of thoughts is incorrect. The elderly can not avoid presbyopia whether they get myopia or not. Nearsighted people just can offset part of presbyopia degree.
Question 4: Myopia degrees below 300° belongs to pseudo myopia, there is no need to correct the bad eyesight. That is also wrong. The reason is that pseudo myopia is caused by using eye balls excessively, but after a good rest, eyesight will recover. However, true myopia means eyes axis grows long abnormally. Although myopia degree is below 300°, we must correct the eyesight as well.
Error 5: Whether wearing framed glasses or contact lenses will weaken the eyesight. Some people insist not wearing eyeglasses with the faith “once put on the prescription glasses, you will never take them off”. That is badly wrong. Generally speaking, wearing the proper degree lenses after a check by ophthalmologists will seldom deepen the myopia degrees.
Error 6: Whether sleep in lamp light is likely to cause children’s nearsightedness? American experts think leaving a little lamp on for the sleeping children can help them practice coordinating their eye.
