Well-being is important not only for the body as a whole, but also for the eyes. Improving the well-being of our eyes requires only simple measures.
This is how mainstream journalism would begin: Eye stress. treat yourself to something good for your eyes or Overstrained eyes. what you can do to combat stressed eyes or Evening courses: eye muscle training to prevent eye stress.
In this era of PC work, it is extremely important that we take the right measures. Eye well-being is in fact brain well-being, as from a scientific perspective, the eye is part of the brain. In other words, traditional well-being programs are also good for our eyes. In addition, it is important to keep a screen distance of 50-60 cm as recommended by occupational medicine. You should look into the distance for a few minutes every hour in order to subject the accommodation muscles in your eyes to different stretching forces. Atmospheric humidity should be around 40-60% to prevent making excessive demands of the lacrimal glands, as is the case in dry winter air. A typical list from an eye health portal (www.fid-gesundheitswissen.de) reads as follows:
Drink at least two liters of liquid per day
Avoid alcohol and coffee – they dehydrate and dry out the cornea
Go out into the fresh air regularly
Do not smoke and avoid smoky rooms
Where possible, do not spend time in air-conditioned rooms on a regular basis
Avoid drafts and fans
An air humidifier is recommended at heating times
If you work with a computer, the distance between your eyes and the screen should be 50 to 60 centimeters
Ensure a straight posture and that you are not required to look upwards too frequently – if you look upwards while concentrating then you will blink less often
Regular breaks rest your eyes. Let your gaze wander and look at your surroundings: look up at the drifting clouds, the raindrops, or the leaves in the trees
If you have “tired” eyes at the end of the day, then the tear film will no longer provide good coverage – time for a nighttime eye break
If symptoms persist, consult an ophthalmologist who will check whether this is being caused by an uncorrected eye defect or poorly adjusted contact lenses. There may also be other causes
From a purely scientific perspective or to purists, eye well-being is matter-of-fact: in order to continue functioning to optimum levels, a sensory organ requires the nutrients which our body regularly needs and must therefore absorb via nourishment. A varied, balanced diet and special nourishment for each sensory organ is therefore important for well-being. The retinal cells in the eyes have the highest energy and substance consumption in the body, even higher than brain cells. They also particularly require vitamin A for the optic nerve, vitamins B, C, and E as cell protection, carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin for the macula and the center of the retina, and the trace elements zinc and selenium. A high water intake and optimum working distance together ensure our eyes’ well-being. Also, because our eyes are part of our brain, the best possible well-being program is a good night’s sleep.
