Eye Care: 6 Don’ts

1. Don’t use the eyes for a rather long time.
No matter what you are doing: reading a book, writing, playing computer, or watching TV programs, your action should not last for more than two hours. You should not stay up, especially at the time when your eyes are very dry, painful and full of blood. You need rest. There are many cases in which people’s retina detaches when they have stayed up very often. It is irrevocable if the accumulation of eye tiredness has reached to some degree.

2. Don’t wear glasses when you are reading a book.
A lot of myopia could be moderated and even get recovery, if you are too early to wear a pair of eyeglasses when you do some reading. Generally speaking, there are two types of eye vision—far eye vision and near eye vision. The worsening of eye vision develops from that of far eye vision, for example, students could not see the blackboard clearly. At that time, the near sight has not get badly, so there will be no visual problem in reading a book. If you wear a pair of reading glasses to read, your eye vision will get over adjusted, which is easy to cause eye tiredness and the worsening of eye vision.
3. Don’t apply eye drop at your will.
Many people treat the application of eye drop as normal as drinking water. There are two bad results of this wrong idea. On one hand, there are many antiseptic elements. Appropriate amount is accepted, but excessive one will hurt the eyes, including leading to eye inflammations, the rising eye pressure, and even the loss of sight. On the other hand, excessive eye drop will hinder the tears, so that the more you use, the drier your eyes become. Therefore, you should apply the eye drop according to what the doctor says.
4. Don’t use the dirty hands to rub your eyes.
The bacteria and dirt on the hand will enter into the eyes, which may lead to the keratitis. If this condition is very serious, the eye vision will be greatly influenced and sometimes it even causes the loss of sight.
5. Don’t hurt the eyes with external force.
Try to avoid the external hurt to the eyes, such as crashing, stabbing, striking, and exploding. In particular, you should pay great attention to the sharp page of the book. Without care, it is easy to hurt the cornea. What’s more, every year many people’s eyes get hurt because of firecracker.
6. Don’t let your mood influence the eyes.
Many of us have read a novel or watch a film, and we may notice the plot: one person suddenly loses his/ her sight owing to excessive sadness, depression, or sudden change of mood. It is not only happening in the novel or film. If you couldn’t manage your mood very well, you may also fall into the bad eye condition. Therefore, if you find your mood is going to change, you should try every means to adjust it immediately.
