One possible version:
Saving Our Eyesight
As the saving goes. "Eves are the window to the soul." However, many of us have poor eyesight. What has caused this problem The main reason is the bad habits of using eyes. For example, many of us read in wrong positions such as reading in bed or keeping our eyes too close to the books. Besides, spending too much time on the screen and taking less exercise also cause poor eyesight.
Now something must be done to protect our eyes. First, sit straight while reading. Second, don't forget to rest during the working time. It's also helpful to relax our eyes by seeing some green trees or doing eye exercises. Last but not least, eat some food that is good for our eyes like carrots or fish.
In a word, let's take care of our eyes so that we can see our future.
