Nowadays, in the digital world, it has become common to sit in front of the screen for hours, which is increasing eye fatigue and stress. Especially for children, who play with gadgets day and night, concern about eye health has increased. By making small changes in the right routine and diet, we can improve eye health.
What to do for eye health?
Dr. Srikanth, an eye specialist at Apollo Hospitals, Chennai, explains that foods rich in vitamin A, D and omega-3 fatty acids should be included in your diet. Apart from this, UV rays can also be harmful to the eyes. Therefore, use sunglasses that block UVA and UVB rays.
To reduce eye fatigue and stress, follow the 20-20-20 rule. Under this, take a 20-second break every 20 minutes and look at something 20 feet away. This also relaxes the muscles around the eyes and reduces eye fatigue.
Following a proper diet is very important for eye health. Vitamin A is especially beneficial for the eyes. Include carrots, spinach, dry fruits, citrus fruits, eggs and fish in your diet. All these things help in maintaining eye health.
It is also very important to get regular eye checkups. Regular checkups can help identify and treat eye problems in time. If your child is having trouble watching TV or mobile from close or is having headaches, these could be signs of weak eyesight.
What to keep in mind?
By adopting these simple measures, you can improve your and your children's eye health. With the right diet, regular breaks and regular checkups, eye health can be maintained and the damage caused by excessive use of digital screens can be reduced.
