What is the origin of National Eye Love Day?

1992, Geng, a professor of ophthalmology and epidemiology at Tianjin Medical University, put forward an initiative to set up an eye-loving day for the first time in China, and the initiative was responded to, and May 5 of each year was designated as "National Eye-loving Day". On May 5th, 1993, Tianjin held the first eye-care day publicity activity.

Affected by this, since 1994, large and medium-sized cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, have held free consultation activities on May 5 to publicize the significance of Eye-Love Day.

1996, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Education, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, the China Disabled Persons' Federation and other ministries and commissions jointly issued a notice, listing Eye-Love Day as one of the national festivals and redetermining June 6 as the National Eye-Love Day.

Ways to protect your eyes:

1, pay attention to work and rest?

When eyes are uncomfortable, it is best to close your eyes and rest first, which is a good way to eliminate eye fatigue. Under normal circumstances, after using your eyes for half an hour, you should close your eyes or look at the trees in the distance for a few minutes to give your eyes a full rest. If the symptoms of eye discomfort are not relieved, you can apply a hot towel to your eyes, or rub your palm on your eyes. ?

2. Appropriate outdoor exercise?

Proper outdoor exercise helps to relieve eye fatigue. Going out for proper physical exercise every day can not only promote eye blood circulation, but also help to relax eye muscles and nerves and relieve symptoms of visual fatigue and eye discomfort. ?

3. Suitable light source? ?

Usually reading, doing problems, watching computers and playing mobile phones, it is best to choose places or lights with moderate brightness and soft light. When the ambient light is too bright or too dark, uneven light distribution or reflective, flashing and dazzling light can easily cause eye discomfort and aggravate visual fatigue. ?
