After eye growth is complete, with active use, this stage requires comprehensive care for vision management, dry eye syndrome, and other eye conditions.

Dietary habits for eye health
- Foods that are good to eat:
Nutrients such as vitamins A, C, E, zinc, and selenium play important roles in eye health.
Consume foods rich in these nutrients and pay attention to adequate daily water intake.
- Foods to avoid~!
High-fat, high-calorie, and high-sugar foods are harmful to eye health,
and it's also good to consume high-salt, high-sugar drinks, coffee, and alcohol in moderation.
Please remember that it's best to avoid excessive alcohol and tobacco~!!
Good habits to know~!
1. When using computers or smart devices, it's good to take a break of 20 seconds or more every 20 minutes.
(If difficult, take a short break of about 10 minutes every 50 minutes to 1 hour!!)
2. When using contact lenses, do not wear them for too long, and maintain cleanliness!
3. When using glasses or lenses, choose and use them according to your vision.
4. Do eye stretches frequently!
5. The habit of blinking often!!
6. Regular eye exams; visit an eye clinic if your eyes are dazzling, itchy, stinging, or if you experience vision deterioration!
To prevent and manage eye diseases, refer to the methods above,
and we recommend consistently maintaining healthy eating habits, stretching, and management.
Most importantly, if you experience any abnormal symptoms with your eyes or vision,
please remember that it's crucial not to neglect them and to visit an ophthalmologist as soon as possible
for the prevention, treatment, and management of eye diseases.
