A modern child spends a huge amount of time at a desk, computer monitor and phone screen.
Such increased stress can lead to deterioration of vision.
To prevent such a scenario, it is worth paying due attention to prevention. Preventive measures include correct body position, proper lighting, eye exercises and taking vitamins, but more about all this in more detail.
Body position
The chances of visual acuity deterioration are reduced if the student sits upright during classes. Parents should remind the child more often that the distance to the book and notebook should be about 30-35 cm, and to the monitor – 50-100 cm.
Lighting
When choosing a desk lamp for a student, give preference to fluorescent lamps, which should be placed on the left side for right-handed students and on the right side for left-handed students.
Eye exercises
After every 20-30 minutes of exercise, take a break for 3-5 minutes, which should be filled with eye exercises. You can get acquainted with the complexes in the ophthalmologist's office or look for eye gymnastics options on the Internet.
These exercises relax and strengthen the eye muscles, which in turn helps to maintain vision.
Vitamin complexes
Try to ensure that your child’s diet includes blueberries, sea buckthorn, cranberries, rose hips, viburnum, rowan, etc. – they contain vitamins A, C and B, which are good for the eyes. A specialist can help you choose vitamin and mineral complexes.
