Programmers: How to protect your eyes

[[142325]]

In three months, I will be a programmer who has worked for ten years. I have been working on the front line of coding. From the time I took my resume to the Shenzhen Talent Market to find a job after graduation, to working on various projects with project managers, and finally leading the development of projects, I have never left the front line of coding. In China, it cannot be said that coding has no future. When the business is in recession, programmers are usually the last to be laid off. This shows that the professional pressure of programmers is less than that of marketing. On the other hand, doing what you are interested in, doing what you are capable of, and exerting your due ability should be the main direction of career planning.

I spend a lot of time working with computers every day, but my myopia has remained stable at 400 degrees in the past 10 years. Here I share my experience accumulated over the years for your reference. I am not a doctor. If you have any discomfort in your eyes, don't hesitate to put down everything you are doing and go to see a doctor immediately.

1 Modify the Visual Studio/SQL Server Management Studio programming font size

After installing the programming software, the first thing to do is to change the font size. I usually change it to 14pt, because the default font size of the tool software is too small (the default font size of Visual Studio .NET 2003 is 9pt, and the default font size of the recent Visual Studio 2013/2015 is 10pt).

The new version of Visual Studio also supports importing settings from old versions, so when starting up, you only need to import the settings from the old version of the software.

2 Set the screen background to eye-protection color

Mung bean paste color can effectively reduce eye fatigue caused by long-term computer use. The default color information is as follows:

Hue: 85, Saturation: 123, Brightness: 205;

RGB color red: 199, green: 237, blue: 204;

Hexadecimal color: #C7EDCC or #CCE8CF

I would like to recommend an excellent setting tool. You can find the green version of 360 Eye Guard on the Internet. It can set the screen background color to bean paste color.

I strongly promote this software, and my colleagues in the company also like the software I recommend.

3. Do eye exercises regularly, once at 10 a.m., once at 4 p.m., and once before going to bed at night.

I recall when I was in primary school, the radio would start playing: "Students, protect your eyesight for the revolution. Eye exercises will begin now. Close your eyes..."

Now that the revolution has succeeded, we should do eye exercises regularly, not just for the revolution, but for the health of our own eyes.

The following content is what I found from Baidu Encyclopedia for reference. There are several versions of eye exercises, just master one and do it frequently.

The first section massages the earlobe eye points and grips the ground with toes

Use the spiral surface of the thumbs and index fingers of both hands to pinch the eye point in the middle of the earlobe, and bend the other three fingers naturally. Accompanied by the music command, use the thumbs and index fingers to knead the acupuncture points rhythmically, and at the same time use all the toes of both feet to do the gripping exercise, one beat per time, and do four eight beats.

The second section massages the temples and scrapes the eye sockets

Use the spiral surface of the thumbs of both hands to press on the temples on both sides, and the other fingers are naturally relaxed and bent. Accompanied by the music command, first use the thumbs to press and rub the temples, circling four times per beat. Then, without moving the thumbs, use the inner side of the second joint of the index fingers of both hands to scrape from the eyebrow to the tip of the eyebrow with a little force, scraping once every two beats, and scraping twice in a row. Do this alternately for four eight beats.

Section 3 Press and rub Sibai acupoints

Use the spiral surface of the index fingers of both hands to press the acupuncture points on both sides, the thumbs against the concave part of the lower jaw, and the other fingers are naturally relaxed and clenched into a hollow fist. Press and rub the acupuncture points rhythmically according to the music commands, one circle per beat, and do four eight beats.

The fourth section is to massage Fengchi acupoint

Use the spiral surface of the index and middle fingers of both hands to press the acupoints on both sides, and relax the other three fingers naturally. Press and rub the acupoints rhythmically according to the music. Do one circle per beat, and do four eight beats.

Section 5: Press the Du Meridian Points on the Head

Press the Du channel point on the head with your hands bent four times, from front to back, with your fingers relaxed. Press and rub once for each beat of the music, and do four eight beats.

We often say that we should wash our feet and get a massage to relax our body. Doing eye exercises is to massage your eyes. Eye exercises massage the key acupuncture points around the eyes. Doing them often is good for your eyes.

I recommend you to find a version of eye exercises from the following video website. You can learn it in half an hour. We spend too much time learning various JavaScript techniques. It is better to spend a little time learning eye exercises to boost health and work efficiency.

4. Improve eye habits and environment

4.1 If eye fatigue occurs, the fastest way is to do eye exercises instead of relying on eye drops at night, as chemical drugs will cause dependence.

4.2 When reading a book or newspaper, keep your eyes 30 cm away from the page and at a 45-degree angle, and avoid using your eyes at close range for long periods of time.

4.3 Avoid reading books or newspapers in a car, in a place with insufficient light or strong light. When reading, the light source should be evenly projected from behind or from the left oblique direction. Never read in the sun, or in a dark room with the help of TV light. The idiom "drilling a hole in the wall to steal light" comes from an ancient man who loved reading very much, so he made a small hole at the foot of the wall next door and read with the help of the light from the next door. In ancient times, there was no electric lighting, and the kerosene lamps that are still used in rural areas today were used, which were quite harmful to the eyes. When I was a child, I read comic books under the kerosene lamp, and my mother wove thousand-layer soles insoles under the kerosene lamp. Now the conditions are much better, and today's life is really happy.

4.4 Avoid using unclean towels or public washbasins to prevent infection. You should bring your own toiletries when staying in a hotel.

4.5 Get enough sleep and outdoor activities, and often look at green plants from afar. Apes generally live in big cities, which have good greening. Taking a walk under the shade of trees is good for the body and eyes.

4.6 Do eye exercises 3-4 times a day. Wash your face and massage your eyes before going to bed to promote eye rest. You will feel comfortable when you open your eyes the next day.

4.7 Do not watch TV, play computer games, or play video games for a long time. Keep your eyes away from the screen. Do not program in a dark corner with only the computer screen on. There must be other light sources around the computer screen. The same is true for watching TV. There must be other light sources around the TV. In the past, my family was poor, so I always turned off the lights when watching TV. Now that conditions are better, I don’t care about the electricity bill.

5. Improve your diet

5.1 Pay attention to nutrition, eat more fresh vegetables, eat green vegetables often, and refuse fried foods.

5.2 Vitamin C is one of the components of the lens of the eye. If you lack vitamin C, you are prone to cataracts, which is a cloudy lens. Various fresh vegetables and fruits, especially green peppers, cucumbers, cauliflower, Chinese cabbage, fresh dates, raw pears and oranges, have the highest content of vitamin C.

5.3 Foods that improve eyesight, such as wolfberry, chrysanthemum, and cassia seed. Drinking chrysanthemum tea regularly can also have the effect of clearing the mind and improving eyesight. Wolfberry can clear the liver and improve eyesight, and is also very beneficial for protecting eyesight. Drinking tea can prevent vision loss and restore vision.

5.4 Lean meat, poultry offal, fish, shrimp, milk, eggs, beans, etc. are rich in protein.

5.5 Pay attention to the balance of diet and nutrition. Eat more whole grains, mixed grains, red and green vegetables, potatoes, beans, fruits and other foods containing vitamins, proteins and fiber. Buy some sweet potatoes regularly, cut them into small pieces and cook them in the rice cooker with rice. Buy some corn regularly as whole grains. Crude fiber has many benefits for people.

From my own experience, the foods that can show effects quickly are pork liver and chili peppers. If you take a rest after eating, your eyes fatigue will be much better the next day. If you can massage your eyes before going to bed, the effect should be even better.

6. Participate in TCM health courses

In the book "Health from Head to Toe" written by Professor Qu Limin of Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is said that the eyes are the organ of the liver, and nourishing the liver is to regulate the eyes. I like Teacher Qu Limin's health courses because I went to Shenzhen Book City and saw Teacher Qu's courses being played on the TV screen. After watching it, I felt very good. Health preservation is not a particularly profound knowledge. Take a warm bath in the cold winter, do a few eye exercises when your eyes are dry and tired, and think about happy things when you are depressed. This is health preservation. Teacher Qu said that the best way to keep healthy is to be happy. When a person is happy, his meridians will be unobstructed, which means he will show a very healthy appearance. People who are heartless live the longest. How can people worry about the world and be afraid of this and that? They will die in a few years.

The following text is an excerpt from the first lecture in the series "Talking about Health from Head to Toe". For more content, please refer to the video course and original text.

Health from head to toe (2-2) Eyes

1. The eyes are the messenger of the heart. The Huangdi Neijing states: "The essence of the five internal organs and six bowels are all poured into the eyes and become their essence."

"Huangdi Neijing" says: "The nest of essence is the eye, the essence of bone is the pupil, the essence of tendon is the black eye, the essence of blood is the network, the essence of qi in its nest is the white eye, the essence of muscle is the restraint, it wraps the essence of tendon, bone, blood and qi and is connected with the veins, it goes up to the brain and comes out from the neck." The eyes are the messengers of the heart. The heart stores the spirit, and when the spirit is scattered, the eyes are confused.

2. Eye Diseases

1. Tears in the eyes - the lung (which regulates the water channels) has insufficient Qi, and the liver (which regulates the water channels) has insufficient astringent function.

2. Tears against the wind - the liver meridian cannot be restrained.

3. Dry eyes - due to insufficient liver blood and deficiency of Yang Qi, such people are prone to lose their temper and get angry for no reason.

4. Bulging eyes - the liver meridian cannot be restrained. Such people usually have high intraocular pressure, drink too much, have bad tempers, get angry easily, are competitive, and women are prone to hyperthyroidism.

5. Eye bags (edema) - The small intestine meridian passes under the eyes, which is related to the triple energizer, small intestine, and kidney. It is caused by cold evil, insufficient yang energy, and inability to metabolize water.

Swollen upper eyelids - spleen dampness Swollen lower eyelids - yang deficiency

3. Why do people cry when they are sad? "Sadness makes the heart move, and a moving heart makes all the internal organs shake." The eyes are the messenger of the heart. When the mind is disturbed, the eyes will be disturbed, and fluid will surge up, causing tears to fall. Tears that do not stop - depriving sperm will lead to "no sight".

4. How to care for your eyes

1. Eye ironing method - brightens eyes, removes wind and eye miasma, especially suitable for computer users.

Use Laogong acupoint to warm your eyes. Rub your hands together to warm them up. Close your eyes and cover your eyes with your empty palms. Stay there for a while. Do this once a day, 21 times each time.

2. Back eye massage (should be performed frequently)

The position of the back of the eyes - there are two depressions at the back of the head facing the eyes.

Massage method: Close your eyes and massage the back of your eyes, which can quickly and significantly improve symptoms such as dry eyes and dizziness.

Acupuncture method: When the intraocular pressure is high, the eyes will bulge. Use acupuncture to let out blood slightly, and the eyes will immediately become clear.

3. Do eye exercises regularly

When you feel weak, drink some bone soup to replenish your body, put on your sneakers and run a few laps on the playground. It will do your body good and no harm.

7. Improve your physical fitness and keep exercising

The Ministry of Education's new version of eye exercises includes a section on eye rotation, which is very good for the eyes. Eye rotation is a method of eye protection training, such as playing badminton and table tennis, where the eyeballs rotate back and forth with the ball, which is definitely beneficial. Kite flying, kicking the keyboard and other sports are also beneficial.

On the other hand, frequently turning your neck can improve blood supply to the brain and is also good for the eyes. Pay attention to the way you turn your neck. You can't turn it in a circle. You should turn it three times to the left and three times to the right. Recall the scene when our high school physical education teacher taught us to do warm-up exercises. When you pick up what you have learned, it is yours again and you don't have to give it back to the teacher.

I have been running for more than 3 years. I am 170cm tall and weigh 80kg. My bones and muscles are relatively strong and my body is relatively light. My friends don't feel that I am fat. One of my favorite activities on weekend afternoons is long-distance running. In winter, I wear shorts and run outside in an outdoor environment of about 16 degrees (Shenzhen, Guangdong). It's a bit cool. Running improves my breathing. Among the five elements, the lung is gold and the kidney is water. Gold can produce water, so my kidney is relatively better. The kidney is the official of the monarch. The monarch is the core of the whole body (five internal organs and six bowels). If the kidney is good, the teeth must be good. Teeth are the essence of the kidney. Through the improvement of diet, my whole body constitution has also improved. The characteristic of a good body is that no matter how tired you are, you will recover the next day after a good sleep. In winter, if you accidentally get cold, you will never catch a cold or have a fever. In summer, if you eat something you shouldn't eat and get a little poisoned, you will be fine after going to the bathroom a few times.

8 Doctor's opinion

Finally, let’s refer to the doctor’s opinions and methods from 120ask.com. What should I eat if I often sit in front of the computer to be good for my eyes?

Computers are very harmful to eyesight. People who often use computers should eat more foods that improve eyesight, such as wolfberry, chrysanthemum, and cassia seed. Drinking chrysanthemum tea regularly can also have the effect of clearing the mind and improving eyesight. Wolfberry can clear the liver and improve eyesight, which is also very beneficial for protecting eyesight. Drinking tea can prevent vision loss and restore vision. The lack of essential fatty acids, vitamins A, K, E and B vitamins can reduce the body's tolerance to radiation. They should be properly supplied in the diet. Such as milk, eggs, liver, cauliflower, cabbage, eggplant, lentils, carrots, cucumbers, tomatoes, bananas, apples, etc.

Laser surgery is not recommended. It is too dangerous. This type of surgery should be banned abroad. Warren Buffett, the stock god, and Bill Gates, the IT industry boss, still wear glasses. Their medical technology level is far superior to ours, but they don't do laser surgery. Let's look at domestic ophthalmologists. Doctors still wear glasses and don't do surgery. Do we have to be guinea pigs for doctors wearing glasses?

I have written so much, most of which comes from my own experience. Finally, I wish everyone to have good eyesight and work hard for family and happiness.
