Eye Care Tips

Outdoor activities

Don't just stick around indoors. Studies have shown that staying outdoors to play can prevent onset of, and slow down, myopia progression
Take frequent eye breaks

Relax your eyes for 3 to 5 minutes after half an hour of close-range work or activity (e.g. homework, reading, usage of electronic device)
Light up adequately

Increase the illumination of your work space with a table lamp to reduce eye strain
Read from a distance

Keep your reading materials at least 35cm away from your eyes, 50-60cm away from the computer and 2 metres or further from television
Work desk ergonomics

Allow yourself to be comfortable while working at your desk area but be sure to maintain a good posture (good distance away from reading material, straight back)
UV protection

While outdoors, shield your eyes from excessive ultraviolet rays to prevent abnormal ocular changes. Most spectacles would have UV protection in their lenses
Protective eye wear

Choose suitable pair of glasses when playing contact sports to prevent injuries and trauma to eye
