Four, when reading and writing, the light should be appropriate, should not be too strong or too dark, the light should be shot from the front of the left, so as not to hinder the sight of the hand shadow. The light should be soft, such as incandescent lamp, should be between 25 and 40W, do not recommend reading in the sun.

General table top desk lamp is appropriate with 40 watts below. 5. Avoid reading while walking or reading in a walking car. Because the car is shaking and the body is shaking, the distance between the eyes and the book cannot be fixed, and the burden of the glasses will be increased. If you do this often, you are likely to develop myopia. 6. Take an active part in physical exercise to strengthen your physique. When the eye follows the target, the ciliary muscle relaxes and contracts continuously, as well as the synergistic effect of the extraocular muscle, can improve the blood perfusion of the eye, promote the metabolism of the eye, so as to reduce eye fatigue.

Three, reading time is not too long: no matter doing homework or watching TV, the time is not too long, to take a break every 30 minutes is the best. Four, SITTING position WANTS UPRIGHT: CANNOT bend OVER HUNchback, more close or prone to do homework easily cause ciliary muscle tension is excessive, then cause myopia. Five, reading distance should be moderate: the distance between the book and the eyes should be 30 cm, and the height of the table and chair should be compatible with the physique, not reluctantly. Six, WATCHING TV DISTANCE is not too close: WATCHING TV should be maintained with the TV picture diagonal six to eight times the distance, every 30 minutes must rest for a while. Seven, sleep is not too little, regular work and rest: lack of sleep is easy to fatigue, easy to cause pseudomyopia. Eight, do more outdoor sports: often look far away to relax the eye muscles, prevent myopia, to nature more contact with green mountains and green fields, conducive to the health of the eyes.
