保養眼睛防近視
上課、看書、做功課，開學後用眼時間大增，再加上沉迷電子產品，隨時會變成「四眼仔」和「四眼妹」——近視。
中醫理論認為「肝開竅於目」，眼睛所需要的能量是來自肝臟，所以肝臟氣血足，可防治眼疾發生，肝腎虧虛則會導致眼目昏暗，遠視不明。
有時候用眼過度會出現「假近視」，眼睛肌肉長期處於緊張狀態，情況多發生於光線不足、字體太小、看螢幕時間太長等，令眼睛容易疲勞，長遠則會造成近視。
當感到眼乾、眼睛出現紅筋，已經是眼睛給你的警示，滴眼藥水治標不治本，調整生活模式才是長久之策，留意以下護眼小貼士，讓眼睛保持最佳狀態。
護眼小貼士：
1. 用眼每一小時休息10分鐘，雙眼望遠，多望綠色植物
2. 雙眼與書本或螢幕要保持足夠距離
3. 燈光要充足
4. 晚上11時前入睡，以免加重肝的負荷
5. 適量進食滋養肝腎的食物如黑芝麻、腰果、黑豆等
