The embodiment of the invention provides an eyesight protecting method and an eyesight protecting device. The eyesight protecting method comprises the following steps: when a screen of terminal equipment begins to be lightened up, recording an appointed parameter in real time; when the appointed parameter surpasses a preset threshold value, gradually reducing the color temperature of the screen until the screen turns off. In the embodiment of the invention, when a user watches the screen, if a certain parameter surpasses the threshold value (for example, the lighting duration of the screen surpasses a duration threshold value, or the blinking frequency of the user surpasses a frequency threshold value), the conclusions that the eyes of the user begin to feel tired and the color temperature of the screen is required to be adjusted are drawn, so that the color temperature of the screen is gradually reduced, for example, the color temperature of the screen is reduced to a certain extent at the set time intervals so as to gradually reduce blue rays, harmful to the eyes, emitted by the screen, and the user is gradually adapted to change in the color temperature imperceptibly, thereby fulfilling the aim of protecting eyesight.
