Try adding/changing one thing at a time and implement that change for a few weeks. Once it is a habit, then add another. | ||

1. Never use your full correction for near work (see [[differentials]]) | |||
2. Take breaks during [[Close-up | near work]] (see [[3 hour rule]] and [[20-20-20 rule]]). | |||
==Other important habits== | |||
*Spend lots of time looking at things at the edge of blur wearing your [[normalized]] glasses (distance vision) | |||
* Never underestimate the importance of light to your vision. | |||
* Spend time outside every day using your distance vision, e.g. with a [[Hobbies|hobby]] | |||
* Look at 3D things that move | |||
example: go for a bike ride and look at the branches as you bike past | |||
* Limit screen time (at least one eye doctor says to limit your screen time to 6 hours per day) | |||
* Limit mobile phone use | |||
* Limit sugar-added foods<ref>https://endmyopia.org/low-myopia-vs-high-myopia/</ref> | |||
* Limit alcohol intake (it's a kind of sugar anyway)<ref>https://endmyopia.org/can-alcohol-cause-myopia/</ref> | |||
* Remember to scoot back from close-up screens | |||
* It's better to use bigger screens with more distance so op for tv or monitor rather then phone if you can | |||
