This set of "new eye exercises" was produced by Taizhou Office of China Campus Health Action Public Welfare Project and Bright Angel Student Vision Protection Center. In the video, a girl in red gave a demonstration exercise. The basic exercise is divided into six parts: look up and down to the left, look up and down to the right, look left and right, turn clockwise, turn counterclockwise, close your eyes hard, open your eyes hard, look up, and finally close your eyes for a while. The whole process lasted more than 5 minutes.
"In the whole video, girls have been rolling their eyes", and netizens dubbed it "professional course of rolling eyes" and questioned its effect. A netizen who insisted on practicing according to the video demonstration told reporters that it was much more difficult than traditional eye exercises, and he felt dizzy after practicing. Netizen "Chongqing Disciple" also quipped: "If I do it, my contact lens will probably be twisted into a twist."
Response: It can prevent myopia very well.
Yesterday, the reporter contacted Qiu, director of the promotion department of the Bright Angel Student Vision Protection Center. He said that the "New Eye Exercise" video transmitted by Weibo was developed by them and put on the Internet.
According to Qiu, the center is headquartered in Beijing, and the affiliated company is Beijing Zhongke Optometry Medical Research Institute Co., Ltd. The eye exercises you saw were actually developed in 2006. "Please ask experts related to eye protection to develop it." However, Qiu did not disclose which unit or expert was invited, only that it was not a hospital or a school.
Regarding whether this set of eye exercises is useful, Qiu said: "It is useful after testing." He said that the scientific basis of this set of "eye exercises" is that many teenagers don't have enough eye movement time and intensity. Through this set of exercises, they can move their eyes and enhance their eye muscle ability. There are four classes of students who have done comparative experiments. Two classes do this set of eye exercises every day, and two classes don't. After a period of time, the eyesight of students who do eye exercises in the two classes is obviously better than that of students who don't do eye exercises. He said that long-term use of this set of eye exercises has a good effect on preventing myopia.
Why did eye exercises developed six years ago become popular on the Internet? Director Qiu said that this set of eye exercises is for teenagers who treat myopia in the center. Recently, they put this set of eye exercises online so that teenagers can do it at home.
As for the relationship between the center and Taizhou Office of China Campus Health Action Public Welfare Project, Qiu did not explain.
