All the protocol for eye health

Here are some protocols for maintaining eye health based on insights from Andrew Huberman on the Huberman Lab:

1. Regular Breaks from Close-up Work: For optimal visual health, take breaks every 30 minutes to look at a distance and engage in "panoramic vision." This helps relax the eye muscles, particularly the lens, and is crucial for maintaining the health of your visual system 1.

2. Sunlight Exposure: Get 2 to 10 minutes of sunlight exposure in the morning and evening. This practice helps regulate circadian rhythms, which influence sleep, mood, hormones, and metabolism. If sunlight is not available, using artificial blue lights can be beneficial as a substitute 2.

3. Outdoor Activities: Spending at least two hours outdoors daily can significantly reduce the risk of developing myopia. Sunlight and the act of looking at distant objects are essential for visual health, especially for children and prevents the "epidemic of myopia" 3.

4. Avoid Nightlight for Children: Sleeping in dark environments reduces the likelihood of developing myopia in children. Minimize exposure to nightlights or dim lights during sleep to maintain visual health 4.

5. Physical Exercise: Maintaining a healthy cardiovascular system through regular physical activity supports proper blood flow to the retina, which is crucial for eye health 5.

These practices, which incorporate natural light exposure, regular breaks, and overall health management, can help enhance and maintain your vision health effectively across the lifespan.
