We perceive approximately 90% of information from the outside world with our eyes. However, it is not easy for them nowadays due to the influence of gadgets and stress. How to preserve the health of our eyes and what should be done to reduce the risks of vision deterioration - this was discussed during a meeting with ophthalmologist Raisa Levchenko.
We also learned: how to minimize the negative impact of gadgets on the organs of vision;
about the benefits of vitamins and what foods to eat to improve eyesight;
how to choose sunglasses;
about the selection of contact lenses;
simple and effective gymnastics for the eyes.
The audience had a lot of questions for the expert! They received professional answers and advice on each, as well as completed practical exercises and learned about the "20-20-20" rule.
20-20-20 RULE: After every 20 minutes of screen time, take a 20-second break and look at objects that are at least 20 feet (6 meters) away. Specialists believe that thanks to this, the health of the eyes will be in a better condition.
