The origin of eye love day

In order to better care for eyes, prevent fundus diseases and protect eyesight, on September 25th, 1992, Geng, a professor of ophthalmology and epidemiology at Tianjin Medical University, initiated the first seminar of National Eye Love Day in Tianjin. This initiative was responded by ophthalmologists and ophthalmologists, and it was decided that May 5th of each year would be "National Eye Care Day". On May 5th, 1993, Tianjin held the first eye-care day publicity activity.

Affected by this, since 1994, large and medium-sized cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, have held free consultation activities on May 5 to publicize the significance of Eye-Love Day.

1996, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, the China Disabled Persons' Federation and other ministries and commissions jointly issued a notice, listing Eye-Love Day as one of the national festivals and redetermining June 6 as the National Eye-Love Day.

The purpose of National Eye Love Day

The purpose of setting up National Eye Love Day is to popularize scientific eye knowledge, improve the eye health level of teenagers and prevent eye diseases. At the same time, in order to better carry out publicity activities, a corresponding theme will be set up every year on National Eye Love Day. During the National Eye Love Day, all parts of the country will organize and mobilize medical institutions, blindness prevention and treatment workers and ophthalmologists to vigorously carry out free clinics, consultations and special lectures to provide eye care services for the masses; Make full use of schools, families and other places to help teenagers master scientific knowledge and methods of eye use, cultivate students' good eye habits and reduce the myopia rate of teenagers.

How to use your eyes hygienically

1, pay attention to eye hygiene.

No matter how long you spend reading or using the computer, you should rest every 30 to 40 minutes 10- 15 minutes, and look into the distance to fully relax your eyes. Pay attention to eye exercises and insist on doing them. Friends can do eye exercises when they rest their eyes.

2, eat more food to protect the eyes to supplement nutrition.

Vitamin A in animal food and carotene in plant food directly participate in the formation of rhodopsin, which is a chemical substance that absorbs light from retina and is a "panacea" for protecting eyes and maintaining normal vision. Vitamin A and carotene are also the main nutrients to maintain the normal metabolism of human epithelial tissues. Once lacking, dry eye and keratomalacia will appear.

3. Do not place eye drops frequently.

It has become the habit of many office workers to carry a bottle of eye drops with them and take out two drops from time to time. Experts remind that eye drops can't be used casually, and it is easy to cause harm to the eyes. Eye drops containing hormones have a good effect on relieving local congestion such as eye edema. At first, the eyes will feel very comfortable. Long-term use may lead to increased intraocular pressure, atrophy of optic nerve, glaucoma, visual impairment and even blindness.

4. Don't use inferior sunglasses.

The reason why it can block ultraviolet rays is because the lens is coated with a special film. Good quality sunglasses have a strong ability to block ultraviolet rays, and the transmittance decreases very little, which does not affect the visual clarity. The lens coating has a certain hardness and the surface is not easy to wear. Inferior sunglasses, on the other hand, are completely different. Not only are they weak in blocking ultraviolet rays, but the coating is also easily damaged, which seriously reduces the transmittance. Eyes are like seeing things in a dark room. At this time, the pupils will become larger, and the residual ultraviolet rays will be injected into the eyes in large quantities, causing harm to the eyes.
