Summer holidays for many students are not a time to relax and play, but to make up for homework "black hole". Homework can not fall, the eyes can not protect ah, the following small make up a list of the summer holidays is easy to hurt the eyes of the 7 vices, I hope to give the struggle of the students to provide some help.

1. Prolonged and continuous use of eyes
Although the summer holiday cramming classes constantly, homework, but must remember to give more relaxation to the eyes. Under normal circumstances, the number of blinks in a minute is 12 to 15 times. If you stare at the textbook or screen for a long time, the number of blinks will be significantly reduced, which will easily lead to eye dryness, fatigue, myopia, and many other eye diseases.

Therefore, when reading or using the computer, watching TV, and mobile phones should often look up and look into the distance, so that the eyes get a rest.

2. Swimming and bathing with contact lenses
In summer, when the weather is hot, more people are playing at the beach taking a dip in a hot spring, or swimming, so make sure you take off your contact lenses. Because the water in the swimming pool is not clean, and in the shower, bath, and other moments, shampoo, shower gel, etc. is easy to soak into the eyes, which will contaminate the lens, causing eye discomfort. It is recommended to wear special swimming goggles when swimming, which is both safe and comfortable.

3. Not checking your eyes regularly
Summer is a better time for students to check their eyesight, their eyes are relatively relaxed when they go to school, and they have more time to re-check the health of their eyes before it is too late. Even if you are not nearsighted or presbyopic, you should get into the good habit of seeing your eye doctor regularly. In particular, people with high blood pressure and diabetes should have their eyes checked regularly.

4. Going out without sunglasses
Summer holiday is the hottest period, go out to play and must wear sunglasses, because too much ultraviolet radiation is easy to burns the cornea, and even leads to cataracts and other eye diseases. So when you are outdoors, wear sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat to better protect your eyes.

5. Don't stay in a dry air environment all the time
Summer weather is hot, and air conditioning and fans are everywhere, this time must pay attention to, such an environment in which the air is dry, which will accelerate the loss of eye moisture, and easy to cause dry eyes, do not always be in this environment. Try to go out for a walk or use a humidifier, you can also drop artificial tears to moisten the eyes.

6. Ignore the symptoms of photophobia
Summer sunshine is relatively strong, and some people see bright light but can not open their eyes, and also accompanied by pain, blurred vision redness swelling, and other phenomena, encountered in this situation must be checked promptly, these may be the body's signal of eye disease if ignored, it is very easy to exacerbate the eye disease, so that it is difficult to restore eyesight, and even more serious consequences.

7. Over-reliance on eye drops
Some people summer holidays in all kinds of houses, staying in an air-conditioned room holding a mobile phone or iPad constantly playing games, eyes hard to keep dropping eye drops. This can cause a lot of damage to your eyes.


During summer holidays you should know the truth about eye care
Is your child often addicted to TV and games during the summer holidays? Are you always trying to protect your child's eyesight?

Truth 1: Outdoor exercise is good for preventing myopia
Although there is no evidence that watching TV and playing computer can lead to myopia, it is interesting to note that several studies have found that more outdoor exercise can reduce the chances of myopia in children.

Some statistics show that an increase of one hour of outdoor exercise per week in children reduces the risk of developing myopia by 2 percentage points. In this study, myopic children spent an average of 3.7 fewer hours per week outdoors than non-myopic children.

The researchers explained this by the fact that natural light is more conducive to the development of a child's visual system. It is hypothesized that bright light outdoors facilitates a child's eye crystals and retinas to remain at the correct distance from each other, which is very beneficial for a child with a developing visual system. On the contrary, dim indoor light does not provide this condition. If you stay indoors for a long time, it may make your child blur when looking at distant objects. Recommended reading: Take your child outdoors more often during the summer holidays to "untie" their eyes.



Truth 2: Strong sunlight may cause eye diseases
Give children to wear professional sunglasses is very necessary, once a domestic V put forward the "do not give the child to wear sunglasses" point of view, there have been studies to prove that strong sunlight will bring the risk of eye diseases, including cataracts, eye lumps, and even tumors, so to give children to wear professional sunglasses is very necessary!

Studies have shown that intense sunlight can cause damage to the cornea of the eye, while long-term UV radiation can lead to the development of eye diseases like cataracts or pterygium. Moreover, diseases like cataracts and eye tumors have a latency period of many years, and every time we expose ourselves to the sun without taking any measures, we increase the risk of damaging our eyes and getting sick.

Because of this, the AAO specifically states that babies and children should wear hats or sunglasses and should never be allowed to look directly at the sun, even during an eclipse.

Truth 3: Wearing glasses won't aggravate vision problems
Many parents will have this worry: children wearing glasses at a young age, will lead to myopia (or farsightedness) degree deeper and deeper, and later more and more dependent on glasses.

The answer is no. The purpose of wearing prescription glasses is to correct blurred vision, but will not cause any changes to the physiological structure of the eye. Also, wearing glasses will reduce eye fatigue make the eyes feel more relaxed, and will not aggravate vision problems.

Therefore, if your child has vision problems, they should be examined and corrected promptly. If certain treatable eye diseases are detected early, the benefits go beyond vision and can have a profound effect on your child's overall health.
