Our eyes are two of the most important things in our lives. We use them every second we are awake. They help keep us safe, recognize friends, and select things we like. It is possible to
lead happy and healthy
lives without being able to see, but it would be very different. Therefore, taking good care of your eyes is
critical. Washing your eyes with saline1 solution2 is just one way to maintain eye health. It is also important to make foods that
are rich in vitamin A and beta carotene3 part of your diet.
Eyes can be overused just like bodies and minds. Reading, using computers, and other activities
amount to daily eye stress. That is why it is a good idea to take time to do eye-relaxing and eye-strengthening exercises. An example of an eye-strengthening exercise would be to move your eyes
in all directions. First, keep your head and neck straight while breathing normally. Next, roll your eyes to the left for a few seconds.
Blink a few times, and then roll them to the right. Continue to move your eyes in every direction you can–up and down and corner to corner. To relax your eyes, sit with your elbows4 on a desk or table. Rub your hands together until they are warm. Then, shape your hands like cups and place them over your closed eyes.
我們的眼睛是生命中最重要的東西之一。我們醒著的時候，無時無刻都會用到它們。眼睛能使我們保持安全，讓我們認得朋友，並幫我們選出喜歡的東西。一個人眼睛無法視物固然還是有可能過著快樂健康的日子，不過生活肯定大不相同。因此好好照顧您的靈魂之窗是極其緊要的事。用生理食鹽水清洗眼睛只是眼睛保健的方法之一。同時，把富含維生素A及β-胡蘿蔔素的食物當成您日常飲食的一部份，也是很重要的一件事。
正如同身體和心智，眼睛也會被過度消耗。閱讀、使用電腦、或進行其它活動都等於是每天為眼部製造壓力。這正是為什麼花時間進行放鬆及增強眼部的運動是個好主意。鞏固眼睛的範例運動之一便是四處轉動您的眼球。首先ㄧ邊正常呼吸，一邊將您的頭和脖子保持成一直線。然後將眼睛轉向左邊維持數秒。眨幾下眼，接著轉向右邊。繼續盡量朝各個方向轉動您的眼睛－－從上到下，以及從角落到角落。要放鬆您的眼睛，請坐下來將手肘擺在書桌或桌子上。互相搓揉您的雙手，直到它們發熱為止。接著將手弓成杯狀，將它們覆蓋於閉起來的雙眼上。
