Eyes PROTECTING YOUR EYES

Eyes are very important to us, so we have to be careful to look after them. They show us our world and they show others how we are feeling.

Now I tell you some ways to look after you eyes.

Turn on lights when it's getting dark (especially if you're reading).

Wear sunglasses and hats on bright days.

Keep sunscreen away from your eyes - it really stings if it runs into your eyes.

Your eyes get sore if you watch a computer or TV screen for too long.

Use the correct drops or medication for your eyes if you need them, and do not use any that someone else has used.

Reading, writing, using a computer or watching TV at a small screen can make your eyes feel dry and tired.

Some doctors think that too much close work can even lead to short sightedness (myopia), which means that you can only see things clearly when you are up close to them.

You can help your eyes by exercising them. Here a few things you can try.

Every 20 minutes let your eyes take a break.

Look away from the page or screen and slowly blink your eyes 10 times.

Close your eyes and slowly roll your eyeballs round clockwise 2 times then 2 times anti clockwise.

Look to the left then to the right with your eyes closed. Do this 2 time. Then do the same looking up and down. Move your eyes slowly.

Your body does its best to protect your eyes from damage. Now you know what you can do to help protect your eyes and keep them working well for you.

Thank you for your attention.
