眼鏡，隱形眼鏡還是兩樣都不要？

眾所周知，眼鏡的原始用途是矯正視力。在潮流文化中，眼鏡已成為一種時尚元素。為了追求完美的個性造型，視力正常的人會選擇戴眼鏡，近視的人卻選擇了戴隱形眼鏡，有的人會選擇治療儀，甚至做個昂貴的眼部手術以擺脫戴眼鏡的麻煩。到底怎樣才能時尚地保護我們的眼睛呢？Come and join our discussion.

Clip 1

We spend 1)numerous hours in the computer doing our job-related or school works， which may damage our eyes and affect our vision very badly. But don’t worry， guys. A clearer sight may be regained surgically， free.

Our eyes are like a 2)rubber band. Once we stretch or strain them too much it will be hard to bring them back to the 20/20 vision注1. But with correct eye exercises， properly executed， may help the eyes regain 3)flexibility.

Jun Gacias (President， JG Primelink Corp.): With the device…that is that…it simulates the near and far exercise so that our eye muscles become flexible again. So we can focus on near objects and we can also focus on far objects.

The five-minute’s color that this machine is showing uses the bio-spectrum technology.

Jun Gacias: …use colors， different 4)wavelengths of lights， and it actually improves the communication between the brain and the eyes， so that we can appreciate colors better.

This eye machine may correct 5)myopia or near-sightedness， 6)presbyopia or far-sightedness， and even

7)amblyopia or lazy eye.

Ask your child is his vision usually clear like this? Or if this is what he usually sees， he could be suffering from myopia. Myopia， more commonly known as short-sightedness， affects more than 40% of the children population in Asian cities. Almost 80% of the population is short-sighted by the time they reach 18. Most research suggests that myopia is usually caused by environmental and lifestyle factors.

To understand how our environment and lifestyle can cause myopia， it is important to know how our eyes function. To focus on a distant object the ciliary muscles注2 in our eye relax， thereby stretching the lens longer. To focus on a near object the ciliary muscles contract and make the lens shorter. Prolonged staring at a near object， for example， while reading， playing computer games or watching television could cause

8)cramps for the ciliary muscles. Cramped ciliary muscles will be unable to 9)elongate lenses effectively to focus on distant objects， resulting in blurred visions. Prolonged cramps in the ciliary muscles， not treated， will cause the eyeball to enlarge， thereby worsening the myopic condition. People suffering from severe myopia of 600 degrees and above， have a high possibility of contracting eye diseases that may eventually lead

to blindness.

With Eye Relax， you can prevent your child from becoming shortsighted or even improve his eyesight if he is already shortsighted. Eye Relax helps relax the ciliary muscles in the eyes. During the relaxation activity， your child will be exposed to kaleidoscopic images to exercise the eyes. The in-built spectrum technology， together with 65 synchronized rhythmic music help stimulate the retina cells and vision nerves， and help prevent fatigue to the whole eye and enhances the

photosensitivity of the eye. Your child may no longer have to change to thicker glasses every six months.

我們花上無數個小時在電腦上工作或學習，這會傷害我們的眼睛并且嚴重影響我們的視力。可是大家不用擔心。我們或許不用做手術便能重獲更加清晰的

視力。

我們的雙眼就像一根橡皮筋。一旦我們過度地拉長或擠壓，就很難把它們恢復到1.0的視力了。但是通過合理地完成正確的眼部鍛煉，將可以幫助雙眼重獲靈活性。

俊·蓋舍斯（JG Primelink公司總裁）：這個儀器……就是……它能模擬近距離和遠距離的練習，從而使我們眼球肌肉再次變得靈活。因此我們可以將視線聚焦在近距離的物體上，也能聚焦在遠距離的物

體上。

這個器材所展示的五分鐘顏色治療采用了生物頻譜技術。

俊·蓋舍斯：……運用了各種顏色，即不同波長的光，這實際上改善了大腦和眼睛之間的信息傳遞，從而使我們能更好地辨別顏色。

這個護眼器材可以矯正近視眼、老花眼（遠視）以及弱視。

問問你的孩子，他的視力是否經常都是像這樣清晰？或者這才是他經常看到的情況？他可能得了近視眼。近視眼，比較通俗地稱為近視，在亞洲的城市里，影響著超過40%的兒童。幾乎80%的兒童在18歲前便患上了近視眼。大量研究表明近視眼通常是由于環境因素和生活方式所造成的。

要明白我們的環境和生活方式是怎樣造成近視眼的，了解一下我們的眼睛是怎樣運動是相當重要的。當我們注視遠距離的物體時，我們眼睛里的睫狀肌便會松弛，因此把（眼球的）晶狀體拉長。當我們注視近距離的物體時，睫狀肌便會收縮，使晶狀體變短。長時間近距離用眼，比如當我們閱讀、玩電腦游戲或者看電視的時候，就會造成睫狀肌痙攣。痙攣的睫狀肌將無法有效地拉長晶狀體，使其聚焦在遠物上，導致視力模糊不清。如果睫狀體長時間痙攣并且得不到治療，將會造成眼球變大，從而使近視眼的情況惡化。那些患了嚴重近視眼（600度以上）的人感染眼科疾病的可能性很大，最終還可能導致失明。

有了眼部放松儀，您可以讓孩子避免患上近視，或者如果他已經患上近視，甚至可以改善他的視力。眼部放松儀有助于放松眼睛內的睫狀肌。在其放松活動中，您的孩子將置身于萬花筒圖像中進行眼部鍛煉。內置的頻譜技術，結合65種同步節拍音樂，幫助刺激視網膜細胞和視神經，同時幫助預防整個眼部的疲勞，提高眼睛的感光靈敏度。您的孩子可能不再需要每六個月更換更厚的鏡片了。

注1：歐美國家不采用小數法記錄方式而采用分數記錄方式，常以20/20或6/6來表示受測者的視力敏銳度。在歐美，正常水平的視力用20/20來表示（也就是我們國內所指的1.0；20/20讀作twenty-twenty），指的是受測者可以看清楚 20 英尺遠的視力表。

注2：睫狀肌是位于眼睛內部呈圓環狀的平滑肌，作用是改變晶體的形狀，以向近或遠距離的東西對焦。睫狀肌作用在于調節焦距，當眼睛往遠處看時，睫狀肌松弛；若是看近處，睫狀肌就會收縮。
