1. Sufficient Light
Ensure adequate and comfortable lighting (insufficient light makes text difficult to see, which can lead to worsening myopia).
2. Avoid Glare
Your desk should have a lamp with a shade to reduce glare and minimize eye strain.
3. Limit Reading Time
Whether studying or watching TV, avoid prolonged sessions. It's best to take short breaks every hour or so.
4. Maintain Proper Posture
Do not hunch over, lean too close, or lie down while studying. This can cause excessive tension in the ciliary muscles, leading to fatigue and, consequently, nearsightedness.
5. Maintain a Proper Reading Distance
The standard distance between your eyes and a book should be 30 centimeters. The height of your desk and chair should also be suitable for your body; do not force yourself to adapt.
6. Keep a Distance from the TV
When watching TV, maintain a distance of six to eight times the diagonal length of the screen. It is advisable to take short breaks every hour.
7. Get Enough Sleep and Maintain a Regular Schedule
Lack of sleep can lead to body fatigue and may contribute to pseudo-myopia.
8. Engage in More Outdoor Activities
Frequently look at distant objects to relax eye muscles and prevent nearsightedness. Connecting with nature, such as green mountains and fields, is beneficial for eye health.
9. Maintain a Balanced Diet
Do not be a picky eater. Pay special attention to your intake of Vitamin B (e.g., in germ vegetables, oatmeal, and yeast).
10. Do More Eye Exercises
When you have time, practice eye exercises at home to keep your eyes from getting tired.
