The so-called five colors refer to the five natural primary colors of black, white, red, yellow and green, which constitute the colorful colors of the world. We feel the myriad colors of the world through our own eyes, but now with the rapid development of science and technology, the world has brought many colors that are not conducive to eye health. For example, our common computer screen radiation and eye irritation, as well as mobile phone screens, TV screens and so on.
Don't let the screen spoil your eyes.
We can see that in the office, more than half of the people wear short-sighted glasses. Is it because people's eyes are inherently too fragile? Obviously not, because in ancient times, only a few people suffered from presbyopia and other diseases because of excessive use of eyes, and the conditions were very poor without electric lighting. Obviously, eye diseases are caused by the change of eye environment, and the ubiquitous electronic screen is the main reason for this phenomenon. Therefore, to protect your eyes, you must first protect your eyes in front of the screen.
It's not worth it that so many people suffer from myopia because they don't pay attention to eye hygiene. Any physical defect is hard to make up. Even if you wear contact lenses, it is yourself who feels inconvenient, not to mention that contact lenses are not good for eye health.
There is such a joke that Xiao Zhang is nearsighted and his eyes are very back. Sometimes he may not see anything when he sticks his face on it. One day, he went shopping to buy a hedge. It happened that there was a pockmarked stall on the roadside, so he asked, "How much is this hedge?" Asako was very angry and spat at him. He felt his face wet and wiped it and said, "Oh, it's not a hedge, it's a watering can!" " "
This is a joke, but it shows what a pity it is to be nearsighted. What aspects do professionals need to start from to prevent myopia? Mainly in three aspects: correct posture, avoiding fatigue and eating more fruits and vegetables.
The eye is the visual organ of human body, and its main function is to observe external things. Traditional Chinese medicine theory holds that "the liver opens the eyes", "the liver stores blood" and "the eyes can see when they receive blood". Objective Normal vision depends on the release of liver qi and the nourishment of liver blood.
Liver blood deficiency, dry eyes, dim eyes, blurred vision, liver inflammation, so eyes are red and swollen. Lingshu said that "the essence of the five zang-organs and six fu-organs all focus on the purpose and are essence", so the eyes are closely related to the five zang-organs At the same time, if your eyes are partially bloodshot or yellow, you'd better see a doctor and check your liver function, which may be a sign of your liver disease.
Good eye habits in life
The light should be soft and moderate: in daily life, the living environment should be clean and quiet, the indoor light should be soft and moderate, the furnishings should be simple and bright, the wall color should not be too bright or too dark, and a little red flowers and green grass should be planted indoors. It is best to have green space, Woods or lakes around the residence, and it is best to look far away. Work and rest regularly every day to ensure adequate sleep time. Combine work and rest to avoid overwork or idleness.
Moderate diet: eat more fruits and vegetables rich in vitamins, and the food should be diversified, mainly light and regular. Don't eat too much food with high fat and grease content, and don't overeat. Try to eat less spicy food, quit smoking and drinking. Such eating habits are not only good for the eyes.
Rest more: Don't use your eyes for a long time in your daily work and study, such as reading, watching TV, copying, computer operation, carving, embroidery, etc. Use your eyes for about an hour, and rest for 5 ~ 10 minutes. You can close your eyes, farsightedly or do eye exercises. In recent years, the incidence of myopia among primary and secondary school students is very high, mostly due to neglect of eye protection and excessive use of eyes. With the physiological decline of middle-aged and elderly people, their eyesight gradually deteriorates, and hyperopia, that is, "presbyopia", can be delayed by paying attention to rational use of eyes at ordinary times. Usually read and write, the posture should be correct, and the distance between eyes and books should be kept at about 30 cm. The light is too strong or too dark, so lying down, taking a bus or taking a boat are not suitable for reading.
Close your eyes to recuperate: after working or studying for a period of time (about 1 hour), go to a quiet place, relax all over, close your eyes lightly, eliminate distractions and calm your mind. After 5 ~ 10 minutes, gently massage around your eyes and temples, then open your eyes and look at the blue sky or distant scenery. Eye-nourishing method has a good effect on eliminating eye fatigue and protecting eyesight.
It's not enough to just "close your eyes". We should persist in conscious exercise. The method is: close your eyes, then forcibly open your eyes, look left, up, right and down, and then close your eyes; Repeat 3 times. This set of movements has a good effect on preventing and treating myopia. Besides these, try to do some eye exercises that we are not familiar with when we are tired, and then drop a few drops of eye drops, or shed some tears every month, even tears of laughter, because tears are the best medicine to protect our eyes.
Eyes are the windows of the soul and the main channel for us to obtain information. More than half of all our information is obtained through our eyes, so it is particularly important to maintain our eyes.
Coping strategies of dry eye in professionals
With the popularization of computerized operation in all walks of life, most professionals work in front of computer screens, and dry eye and fatigue have become new modern diseases. For the sake of eye health, professionals will choose some simple methods such as cold compress (soaking alcohol and mint) to solve the problem of dry eyes and fatigue. However, cold compress can not stimulate tears and reduce intraocular pressure while bringing a cool feeling. On the contrary, it may cover up the symptoms and delay the opportunity to seek medical treatment.
The common sense of optometry tells us that the correct way to protect eyes should be to keep a proper reading distance, take a proper rest after working for a period of time, and blink more to stimulate the secretion of tears. If pathological factors are excluded, it is only caused by simple fatigue. In fact, the effect of hot compress with towel at 40℃ may be better than that of cold compress, because hot water can help blood dilate, eliminate swelling and congestion, and also open tear drainage holes to make tears secrete smoothly and solve the problems of fatigue and dryness. Of course, only hot compress and cold compress are not enough. Professionals should pay attention to the following problems when using their eyes: First, wash their hands frequently, pay attention to the cleanliness of their hands, and rub their eyes less with their hands to avoid bringing germs into their eyes. Secondly, women in the workplace should pay attention to the hygiene of related cosmetics, such as changing a new mascara every 6-8 weeks. Thirdly, if you wear contact lenses, the hygiene of contact lenses is very important, and it is best not to wear contact lenses overnight. Finally, drinking Ophiopogon japonicus and Cassia seed with boiled water as tea is an effective way to protect eyes, which can nourish yin and moisten lungs, clear liver and improve eyesight, as well as moisten the lower body. You can also buy chrysanthemums from pharmacies or tea shops, boil them for 3-5 minutes, and then rinse your eyes with clear water, because chrysanthemums have the function of clearing away heat and improving eyesight.
