Origin of the festival
On September 25, 1992, Wang Yanhua, professor of ophthalmology at Tianjin Medical University, and Geng Guanyi, professor of epidemiology, first proposed to the country to promote the national "Love Your Eyes Day". Geng Guanyi, a professor of ophthalmology at Tianjin Medical University, and Wang Yanhua, a professor of epidemiology at Tianjin Medical University, held the first symposium on National Eye Care Day in Tianjin. This initiative was echoed by the ophthalmology community and ophthalmologists, and it was decided that May 5 of each year would be "National Eye Care Day." On May 5, 1993, the first Eye Care Day publicity campaign was held in Tianjin.
Influenced by this, from 1994, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other large and medium-sized cities in China have organized free medical consultation activities on May 5, and at the same time, publicize the significance of Eye Care Day.
In 1996, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, the Central Committee of the Youth League, the China Disabled Persons' Federation and other 12 ministries and commissions jointly issued a circular to include Eye Care Day as one of the national festivals, and re-established June 6 each year as the "National Eye Care Day".

Eye knowledge
Nearsightedness should wear glasses
Nearsightedness but do not wear glasses, this is not a taboo disease avoiding medical treatment. Experts generally agree that, from the point of view of eye health, myopia to a certain extent, you should wear glasses. General 100 degrees below the slight myopia can not have to wear glasses, but the premise is to see things, see the blackboard eye fatigue. Of course, there may be reasons not to wear glasses, but those reasons are inappropriate and untenable. For example, some students and parents are worried that wearing glasses will make the degree deeper and deeper, and others are afraid that once they put on the glasses, they will not be able to take them off, in fact, this concern is unfounded, and completely unnecessary, at present, wearing frames is still the most effective way to correct refractive errors. As for the survey shows that students suffering from myopia do not wear glasses for some other reasons, some of the vision loss is unnoticeable, until the school physical examination to know has suffered from myopia; some are afraid of affecting the aesthetic appearance, refused to wear glasses, there is fear of trouble, as well as the family life of the poor can not afford to match the glasses, etc., it is even more should be attracted great attention, and to be treated separately, reasonable induction, and strive to solve the problem in a timely manner. Experts suggest that the vast majority of youth myopia belongs to simple myopia, as long as attention to eye hygiene, and wear glasses in time to correct, can completely control the development of myopia. According to the data, the formation of myopia, genetic factors account for 60%, environmental factors account for 40%. If both or one of the parents have high myopia, it may be passed on to the children. In the process of myopia, the children may gradually deepen the degree of myopia, this is the genetic factor at work, and has nothing to do with wearing glasses. Wearing eyeglasses is not only convenient for daily study and life, but also can control the development of myopia to a certain extent. Science suggests that if you don't wear glasses, the fuzzy retinal imaging can accelerate the development of myopia, and if you wear a pair of suitable frames, you can make the fuzzy retinal imaging clear, which not only brings convenience to your own life and study, but also can control the development of myopia to a certain extent.
Today's youth myopia has become a hot issue in society, focusing on prevention, but more concerned about those who have been myopic students. In this regard, Shijiazhuang implementation of vision health intervention project, from prevention to intervention, from passive to active, opened a bright precedent, for the first time, the concept of health intervention, so as to comprehensively promote the concept of quality education, awakening the whole society's awareness of eye care. Shijiazhuang City, primary and secondary school students vision health intervention project since last September since the start, has been free for more than 170,000 primary and secondary school students to establish an optometric file, and issued a vision care card. With this health care card, students can always go to the Bureau of Education's health care center for vision checkups and consultations, all the information will also be written into the student optometric files, which are all kept in the Bureau of Education's student health care center, the optometric files will be followed by the students until they leave school and graduate. Let glasses take care of glasses, has been the situation, the trend, worth attention and put into practice as soon as possible.
Of course, wearing glasses can only treat the symptoms, it is difficult to cure the root cause, in order to fundamentally change the situation of eye health care is worrying, but also need to carry out in-depth prevention-oriented eye care concept. Teenagers should first develop good eye habits, limit the time of close eye use, should be intermittent eye use; secondly, to develop good living habits. Secondly, they should develop good living habits. Ensure sufficient sleep time, reasonable diet, especially the intake of essential elements. Eye health not only depends on people's awareness of eye care, but also with the establishment of eye care system, the medical market, the standardization and management of the optical market is closely related. Eye care for all people needs the support and participation of people from all walks of life.
What nutrients do the eyes need
Protein The function of the rod cells in the retina is to provide dark vision, and the cone cells are to provide bright vision. Rod cells are sensitive to weak light because they contain a special quality of vision; the quality of vision is synthesized from protein and vitamin A, the lack of which can cause night blindness, cataracts and other eye diseases.
Vitamin A The visual quality is a complex protein containing a derivative of vitamin A. If you are deficient or insufficient in vitamin A, you will be able to see the eye. If vitamin A deficiency or insufficiency, will make the regeneration of visual quality is slow, not sound, so that the dark adaptation function is reduced, affecting night vision; will also cause corneal epithelium detachment, thickening and keratinization, so that the original transparent membrane becomes opaque.
Vitamin B1 is an important substance that maintains and participates in the function and metabolism of nerve (including optic nerve) cells. If it is deficient or insufficient, it tends to dry out the eyes and even cause inflammation of the optic nerve.
Vitamin C Vitamin C in the lens of the eye is significantly higher than in other tissues, is an important nutrient component of the lens, if the intake is insufficient, often make the lens cloudy, and is one of the important causes of cataract.
Calcium Calcium is the "messenger" in the nerves, involved in all kinds of nerve impulses. Nerve cells (including the optic nerve) that are deficient in calcium are prone to visual fatigue and distraction.
Zinc can enhance the sensitivity of the optic nerve, and a deficiency of zinc can affect the absorption of vitamin A in the body.
Selenium In a variety of tissues and cells of the human body, the eye contains the highest amount of selenium, which is an important trace element to maintain vision.
In addition, tea is rich in carotene, vitamin B1.B2 and vitamin C, and contains a variety of trace elements. "Tea can improve eyesight" is almost universally known. So drinking tea can protect your eyesight, it is also commonly used to treat some eye diseases, such as 25 grams of green tea decoction clarification, used to wash the eyes, can treat blepharitis and acute infectious conjunctivitis and so on.
The most harmful eye habits
China's existing about 5 million blind people, accounting for 0.4% of the total population, is the world's blindness and vision impairment in one of the serious countries. With the economic and social
development and aging of the population structure, non-communicable eye diseases have become the main cause of blindness in China.
If you want to have a pair of bright eyes, then some bad habits in your daily life really need to be changed.
Alcohol hurts the eyes
Alcohol is the number one enemy of the eyes. Why do people who drink alcohol get a reddish color and a rise in body temperature? That's National Eye Day activities because alcohol promotes blood circulation and makes capillaries swell. The skin around the eyes is delicate and the blood vessels are very small, so if you drink too much alcohol, the capillaries can easily rupture and cause spots. So the further away you can hide from alcohol, the better.
Protect your eyes and quit smoking
The health risks of smoking often remind people of respiratory diseases, but it's not alarming to think that smoking can also affect your eyesight.
The most common eye hazard caused by smoking is amblyopia. Amblyopia, that is, the corrected visual acuity is less than 0.8. Smoking causes amblyopia, one is due to smoking when the human body inhaled oxygen is consumed, resulting in a decrease in the oxygen content of the blood, and the retina of the eye is particularly sensitive to the lack of oxygen, and in the long term, the optic nerve fibers will be degenerative, the retinal papilla macula will also be atrophic; two is the burning of tobacco produced by the tobacco tar will result in the body of the decrease in the amount of vitamin B12, and vitamin B12 is the maintenance of the normal optic nerve, the retina will not be able to see. Vitamin B12 is a nutrient necessary to maintain the normal function of the optic nerve. Under the influence of these two **** the same, making smokers vision decline and amblyopia, serious cases can lead to blindness.
According to medical research, 20% of cataract patients are related to long-term smoking. People who smoke more than 20 cigarettes a day are two times more likely to develop cataracts than non-smokers.
In addition, smoking inhaled nicotine and carbon monoxide and other harmful substances will make the vasoconstriction, platelet coagulation hyperactivity, which leads to central retinal vascular embolism, macular degeneration and other blinding eye diseases. Clinical also observed that smokers sometimes have a transient increase in intraocular pressure phenomenon, which is particularly evident in glaucoma patients, glaucoma patients originally high intraocular pressure, if the smoking, is undoubtedly worse.
At the same time, scientific research has also made it clear that tobacco also causes wrinkles around the eyes. Even if you don't smoke, you shouldn't let your guard down, "second hand smoke" "third hand smoke" will also destroy the body and mind and appearance. So, we should keep a distance from the tobacco.
Do the new eye care exercises love eyes
2008 new version of eye care exercises is based on the theory of Chinese medicine meridian, the old version of eye care exercises for certain deletions and additions, such as the cancellation of the "squeeze the eye point", increased "press the head of the ducal points
Which canceled the "squeeze the eye point" because this point is too close to the eyeball, primary and secondary school students to do eye exercises between classes, the hands of the health is difficult to ensure that the hands of bacteria can easily contaminate the eyes. The addition of the "toe grip" action, not only so that the whole body to relax, but also a novel way to make the students feel "very interesting".
Details of each section:
Meridians and channels, so that the child's whole body qi and blood smooth, so as to achieve the purpose of regulating the eye.
Section 2: Pressing and rubbing the four white points. The movement of this section is basically consistent with the 1972 version of eye care exercises.
Section 3: Pressing and rubbing the Tianying point. The movements in this section are basically the same as those in the 1972 edition of the Eye Exercise.
Section 4: Pressing and rubbing the solar plexus and scraping the upper eye socket. On the basis of keeping the part of "pressing and rubbing the solar plexus points" unchanged, the original "wheel scraping the eye orbits" was changed to "scraping the upper eye orbits".
Section 5: Pressing and rubbing the Fengchi point. Fengchi point is located in the back of the head below the neck on both sides of the fossa, from the fossa outward about two thumbs that is. Note that the points do not need to be moved, and the pressing and kneading surface should not be too large.
Section 6: Press and knead the earlobe eye point and toe grip. Through the stimulation of the head, toes and other local points, increase blood circulation throughout the body, dredge the whole body

Eye care instructions
Pay attention to eye hygiene
Whether you are reading or using the computer time should not be too long, every 30 to 40 minutes to take a break of 10 to 15 minutes, look into the distance, so that the eyes fully relaxed.
Pay attention to eye exercises and stick to eye exercises
Friends can do eye exercises when resting their eyes. Introduced a convenient lazy people do eye exercises method: Huilongguan community website at 10:00 a.m., the interface pops up a cute animated villain "the first section to press the eye point ......" and music it. Don't look down on so few minutes of "health exercise", can make the blood flow relax eye muscles, relieve eye fatigue. This is my occasional discovery, afternoon seems to have, really "humanized" good initiative. Experts recommend ball activities, such as table tennis, badminton and so on. When the eyeballs follow the target, ciliary muscle relaxation and contraction and the synergistic effect of extraocular muscles can improve the blood perfusion of the eye and promote eye metabolism. Eating nuts can strengthen the eye muscle activity, promote eye blood circulation, reduce eye fatigue, this trick is too greedy little girl's intention.
Eat more eye-protecting foods to supplement your diet
Vitamin A in animal foods and carotenoids in plant foods are directly involved in the formation of retinal light-absorbing chemicals --- the formation of retinal red pigment --- a key factor in protecting your eyes and maintaining normal vision. "panacea". Vitamin A and carotene are also the main nutrients that maintain the normal metabolism of human epithelial tissue. Once deficient, dry eye disease and corneal softening will occur. Spring wind dry, eye surface water evaporation fast, is the high incidence of dry eye season, more attention should be paid to replenish water, eat more soy products, fish, milk, green vegetables, cabbage, cabbage, tomatoes and fresh fruits help to protect the eyes.
Don't read in a place where the light is too dark
Because of the busy, many people like to read in the bathroom. The bathroom is generally darker, the light source is not scientific, long time on the eyes must have damage. Some people like to lie in bed to read, poor posture leads to strabismus or aggravate the burden on the eyes, the bedside lamp is not bright, and other factors such as the combination of the eyes is also not good.
Do not routinely location eye drops
carry a bottle of eye drops, from time to time to pull out a drop on the two drops, which has become a habit of many office family. Experts reminded that eye drops can not be used casually, messy use of eye drops is very easy to cause damage to the eyes. Hormone-containing eye drops to relieve eye swelling and other local congestion effect is better, when you start using the eyes will feel very comfortable, long-term use, may cause elevated intraocular pressure, optic nerve atrophy ultimately lead to glaucoma, so that vision is impaired or even blindness, this damage, once produced, any surgery and medication can not be salvaged, not to scare you ah.
Don't use poor-quality sunglasses
The reason why sunglasses are able to block ultraviolet rays is because of a special coating added to the lenses. Excellent quality sunglasses, the ability to block ultraviolet rays is strong, and the decrease in light transmission and not much, does not affect the clarity of vision. The lens coating has a certain degree of hardness, the surface is not easy to wear. Inferior quality sunglasses are completely different, not only block ultraviolet performance is not strong, the coating film is easy to break so that the transmittance of a serious decline in the eyes, as if the eyes look at things in a dark room, at this time the pupil will become larger, the residual ultraviolet light will be a large number of eyes into the eyes, so that the eyes are damaged. In addition, the surface of the lens is not regular, see the outside world objects produce deformation and distortion, so that the eyeballs are sore, and gradually nausea, loss of appetite, forgetfulness, insomnia and other symptoms of visual fatigue, but also deepen the damage to the eyes.
