Preventing Myopia

Don't want to get Myopia? Here's what you should do.

• When reading, sit upright. DO NOT lie down while reading.
• When watching television or playing computer games, DO NOT sit too close to the screens.
• Make sure the room is bright when you are reading or doing anything that requires you to use your eyes.
• When you are doing close work, make sure your eyes are at least 30 cm away.
• Do not focus on something for too long. Take a break and do some eye excercises! There is a video on eye excercises on this blog too!

                                                   For those already wearing glasses, don't worry!

• Please make sure you do wear your glasses, however ugly they might be. You do not want your eyesight to get worse!
• Follow the good eye habits above too if you do not want your eyesight to worsen.
• Wear spectacles that are suitable for you. If the degree is not right, please tell your parents, our your eyesight will worsen very quickly!

                                                                       One last thing...

Please go for regular eyechecks! More importantly, some of you might think that spectacles are 'cool'. That is UNTRUE!!! Do not purposely worsen your eyesight so that you can wear a pair of glasses!
