Dear Li Hua，
You’re very kind to care about your classmates.Now I will give you some advice on how to protect your eyesight.
If you want to protect your eyesight, I advise you to let your eyes rest after a certain amount of time of work.You should do eye exercises every day, at least twice a day.You should go to the hospital to have an eyesight examination regularly, at least once a year.You mustn’t read while lying in bed, in too bright or dark light or in a moving vehicle.You’d better not rub your eyes with your hands，and it is bad for your eyesight if you wear coloured glasses.
I hope my advice can help you and your classmates.
Yours,
Dr.Helper
