Eye health: between prevention and innovation

In recent years, visual health has become increasingly the focus of attention, with a significant increase in problems related to prolonged use of screens and the growing incidence of myopia in children. Prevention and the adoption of new technologies are essential to maintaining good eye health.

Digital eye strain: a growing phenomenon

The intensive use of digital devices has led to an increase in cases of eye strain from digital devices, also known as "digital eye strain". Symptoms include dry eyes, blurred vision and headaches. To prevent these disorders, it is advisable to follow the 20-20-20 rule: every 20 minutes, look away from the screen and look at an object 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

Myopia in children: prevention and early intervention

Myopia is on the rise among children, often due to a sedentary lifestyle and excessive use of electronic devices. Recent studies suggest that spending more time outdoors can have beneficial effects on preventing childhood myopia. It is important to monitor the visual health of children and adopt appropriate preventive measures.

Technological innovations: smart contact lenses and advanced diagnostics

Smart contact lenses are one of the most promising innovations in the field of visual health. These devices are able to monitor ocular parameters and offer advanced features, such as augmented reality. At the same time, artificial intelligence is revolutionizing ocular diagnostics, allowing more precise and timely diagnoses.

Ocular well-being: diet and lifestyle

A balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are essential for maintaining good visual health. Nutrients such as lutein, zeaxanthin and omega-3, present in foods such as spinach, cabbage and oily fish, contribute to the protection of the retina and eye health. Furthermore, practicing regular physical activity and ensuring adequate night's sleep are habits that promote eye health.

Thanks to the collaboration with specialized structures and professionals in the sector, it is possible to access personalized services for the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of ocular diseases.
