      In the past, most glaucoma patients in my country were elderly , but in recent years, the number of young patients with glaucoma has gradually increased, which is not unrelated to young people using computers for a long time. Moreover, the visual acuity of those with normal vision is nerve In comparison, the optic nerve of myopic patients is more susceptible to computer damage.

      Long-term computer use and myopia are two high-risk factors for glaucoma. People who face computer screens for more than nine hours a day are twice as likely to develop glaucoma as other people. Dusty screens are also a major factor. Therefore, the fluorescent screen must be kept clean, and the brightness and color contrast must be adjusted to the most comfortable level. The fluorescent screen must be placed in a moderate position, and the light must come from both sides, not from the front or back.

      How to protect your eyes:

      White-collar workers give up about every 20 minutes Eye Take regular breaks and there must be enough space behind the fluorescent screen to allow your eyes to expand your field of view, which can effectively prevent the occurrence of glaucoma.

      Blink more often because the eyelids repeatedly clean the surface of the cornea when blinking, making it difficult for microorganisms to stay, and the tear film is evenly distributed around the eyeball to moisturize the eye.

      Eat more eye-catching foods. Vitamin B1 is one of the nutritional sources of the optic nerve. If the intake is insufficient, the eyes will easily fatigue. You can eat more animal offal (liver, heart and kidney), meat, beans, peanuts, cereals, dried fruits and nuts, etc. Insufficient vitamin B2 can easily cause keratitis. Foods such as sesame, soybeans, fresh milk, and malt are rich in vitamin B2. Traditional wolfberry chrysanthemum tea, wolfberry porridge, cassia seed tea, etc. are all eye-catching foods.
