Beginning in 1963, the nature of the first set of eye exercises was not universally recognized during the nationwide popularization and promotion process. As a long-term implemented educational policy, the revised twice-daily eye exercises have undergone more than 50 years of development in our country. Current empirical research shows that there is no evidence that visual training, including eye exercises, can significantly curb the onset and progression of myopia; physical activity is a key factor in protecting the visual health of children and adolescents. For eye protection, the most important thing is to encourage them to go outdoors. In the context of promoting physical activity and its effect on the eye exercise policy, we should encourage empirical research, examine the effect of eye exercises on protecting children's vision, and explore the conversion of 10-minute eye exercises to moderate to vigorous physical activity time. It is important to promote physical activity as a comprehensive policy and not rely too much on eye exercises.
