How to prevent the occurrence of myopia in children

Chengdu Otology and Ophthalmology Hospital focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of eye diseases, and also pays great attention to the prevention of children's myopia. In recent years, with the popularization of electronic products and the increase of academic burden, the incidence of children's myopia has increased year by year. To solve this problem, we summarized the following four preventive measures.

Reasonable eye use

Reasonable eye use is the basis of preventing children's myopia. First, control the time of eye use. Each eye use should not exceed 40 minutes, and regular rest is required. Secondly, the distance between eyes should be appropriate, which is related to the task of using eyes. For example, when reading a book, the distance should be more than 30cm. In addition, in terms of eye environment, it is necessary to maintain sufficient light, good visual distance and moderate humidity. Long term adherence to rational eye use habits can help reduce the risk of myopia in children.

In addition, eye exercises are also an important part of rational eye use. Regular eye exercises can enhance the muscle activity of the eye, alleviate eye fatigue, and promote eye blood circulation. Parents can guide their children to carry out appropriate eye exercises at home to help them protect their eyesight.

Scientific eye

Scientific eye use is the key to prevent children's myopia. First, avoid excessive contact with electronic products, such as mobile phones, tablets, televisions, etc. These electronic products will produce a large amount of blue light, which will stimulate children's eyes. Long term use will easily lead to eye fatigue and myopia. Secondly, we should control the growth of myopia, find and correct myopia as soon as possible, and avoid further deepening of myopia.

In addition, diet is also an important aspect of scientific eye use. Adequate intake of vitamin A, vitamin C, zinc and other nutrients in children can help maintain eye health. Foods rich in these nutrients include carrots, oranges, lemons, yams, lean meat, etc. A reasonable diet is of great significance to the development and protection of children's eyesight.

Good work and rest habits

The establishment of good work and rest habits is conducive to the prevention of children's myopia. Adequate sleep is essential for children's growth and vision development. Children generally need to sleep 10 to 12 hours a night, depending on their age. In addition, attention should be paid to organizing recreational activities to let children do outdoor sports, relax eye muscles, and enhance the adjustment function of the visual system.

Parents should also pay attention to children's learning pressure and avoid excessive learning burden. Reduce learning time, pay attention to mastering correct learning methods and skills, and maintain interest and enthusiasm in learning. Keep an open mind, communicate with children, and care about their learning and mental health.

Regular eye examination

Regular ophthalmic examination is one of the key measures to prevent myopia in children. Ophthalmologists can find signs of myopia as early as possible and take corresponding treatment measures by checking the child's vision and eye state. Regular ophthalmic examination helps to find and correct visual problems as soon as possible and reduce the growth of myopia.
