Eyes are important in our everyday life. We use them to read books， see colors and view the wonders of the world. But sometimes， we use them too much and it hurts them.

In the past， nearsightedness (近视) was a common eye problem among children. This is mostly because of their bad eye habits， such as watching TV too long and reading books in bed.

However， today’s technology (技术) is changing the way we live. Children spend more time working and playing in front of computers， mobile phones. US children spend about more than 42 hours a week in front of electronic screens (电子屏幕)， US’ ABC news reported.

This is really bad for our eyes. People may get dry and red eyes， eye pain， watering and other eye problems.

But don’t worry. The following tips can help you protect your eyes.

●When using a computer， you’d better make text size bigger until your eyes feel comfortable.

●When you are using mobile devices (设备)， keep them at least 30 cm from your eyes. Try not to use your mobile phone in direct sunlight.

●Remember to take a 20-20-20 break: every 20 minutes， take a 20-second break and look at something 20 feet (about 6 meters) away.
