Eight ways to relieve driving eye fatigue
What about driving with tired eyes?
Many drivers often suffer from eye diseases and vision deterioration due to improper use of their eyes in driving for a long time. In the process of driving a car, the driver should pay full attention to the various conditions of the road ahead, at the same time, he should observe the rear-view mirror and the instruments in the car. In addition, the sun is strong in summer, and the light reflected from the road surface, the glass of other vehicles and the surrounding buildings is easy to produce visual fatigue.
1. It's better to wear polarized sunglasses when driving
Because polarizing sunglasses have a very high barrier rate to ultraviolet rays, eyes are not easy to fatigue even if they look directly at the strong light for a long time. At the same time, it also has the function of filtering scattered light and preventing glare that ordinary sunglasses do not have. When driving sunglasses, color selection is mainly practical. The decoration effect of sunglasses such as pink, purple and light blue is far greater than the actual protective effect, and it will change the color and spectrum, resulting in color difference. Driving sunglasses should not be too dark. It's better to choose brown and gray polarizers. Dark green ones are also recommended. The brown lens can filter out a lot of blue light and improve the visual contrast and clarity. And the gray lens can absorb any chromatogram evenly. What you see after wearing it will only darken without obvious color difference.
2. Take care of your eyes for food and nutrition
Pay attention to the selection and matching of diet at ordinary times. Eat a balanced diet, not partial, not selective. Eat more eye friendly foods rich in vitamins and microelements, such as fish, shrimp, lean meat, animal liver, milk, bean products, fresh vegetables, various fruits, appropriately increase coarse grains, etc., to nourish the eyes. Avoid vision loss due to lack of vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C and trace elements such as calcium, chromium and zinc.

If your eyes are tired before driving, it will affect your driving and lead to traffic accidents. In order to relieve the fatigue of the eyes, we can turn the eyes properly and exercise the vitality of the eyes, so as to relax the muscles, eliminate the fatigue of vision and improve the visual acuity. There is no time, place or frequency limit for this exercise. As long as you pay attention to make your eyes rotate, left and right, up and down, or rotate, close your eyes and open your eyes, you can do it. When parking and resting on the way, you should use a short rest time to stand upright, relax, open your eyes wide, look at the distance, especially at the green area, so as to alleviate eye fatigue.

On the premise of not affecting safety, you can stretch your fingers, shake your arms, twist your neck, and look as far away as possible. Always staring at the center line is easy to make your vision tired.

In principle, 30 minutes should be taken off every 3 hours. When stopping and resting in the middle of the road, you should use a short moment to stand upright, relax your eyes, and look at the distance with your eyes open to ease the fatigue of your eyes. Drivers can look at the distance or green plants when parking to relieve eye fatigue. When driving on the highway with too monotonous scenery, we should properly look left and right to change the visual focus, and use different scenery to maintain a certain degree of visual excitement; when looking at the distance, we should not only stare at the road in front of us.

Use hot water, hot towel or steam to smoke and bathe eyes, promote blood circulation of eyes and prevent diseases. Especially when driving a long-distance bus, it is very effective to wipe your eyes with a hot towel after refueling or eating. It can also often massage the eyes with hands, not only to maintain the vitality of the eyes, but also to prevent vision loss, promote the blood circulation of the eyes, and improve the disease resistance.
