Protecting
Your Eyes:
*
Don’t read or
write close to
the text. The
distance between
your eyes and
the book should
be equal to the
length of a
semi-bent arm.
The lighting
should be
bright, not less
than 60 watts,
but it shouldn’t
shine directly
into the eyes.
Never read or
write while
lying down,
especially when
lying on your
side, because in
this position
your eyes are in
a different
distance from
the text;
*
The distance
between the eyes
and the computer
screen should
not be less than
2 feet;
*
Don’t watch TV
too closely.
Ideally, the
distance should
equal six
lengths of the
TV diagonal. For
example, a TV
with a 20-inch
diameter should
be watched from
the distance of
10 feet. The
light shouldn’t
fall on the
screen or bother
the eyes.
*
Alcohol and
smoking
influence
eyesight
negatively.
Substances
contained in
cigarettes
irritate the
optic nerve and
lower the
sharpness of the
eyesight (by the
way, second-hand
smoke does this
as well). Often
nicotine causes
malfunctions in
distinguishing
colors: first,
it is hard to
distinguish the
color green,
then red, yellow
and blue;
*
Don’t wear
sunglasses
constantly.
Wearing them in
semi-darkness
will harm your
eyes.
Your eyes need
an easy,
relaxing
workout, which
should be done,
in the following
sequence:
1.
Shut the eyes
tightly several
times and try to
relax.
2.
Open the eyes
and do several
circular
movements with
them clockwise
and vice versa.
Do an equal
number of
movements on
each side.
3.
Move the eyes
intensively to
the both sides
and up and down.
4.
Blink fast for
several seconds.
5.
Put your warm
palms on your
eyes, cross your
fingers on the
forehead and
wait until deep
darkness
appears.
6.
Blink 100 times.
7.
Put your
forefinger on
the tip of your
nose and look at
this point for
several seconds.
