Factors contributing to the rapid development of children's myopia:
Children's myopia is an increasingly common ophthalmic problem in recent years. There are many reasons for its rapid development. Through research and clinical experience, experts from Wuhan Children's Eye Hospital found that the following factors may lead to the rapid development of children's myopia:
1. Genetic factors
The development of myopia in children is closely related to genetic factors. If parents or relatives suffer from myopia, the risk of children suffering from myopia will increase. A study shows that genetic factors play at least 50% role in children's myopia. Hereditary myopia tendency makes children more likely to develop high myopia. Therefore, parents should pay attention to the genetic risk of family myopia and take their children for visual inspection in time.
In addition, parents' attention to children's eyesight will also affect the development of children's myopia. If parents do not pay enough attention to their children's vision care, their children may neglect the protection and rest of their eyes, which will lead to the rapid growth of myopia.
2. Too long to watch the electronic screen
In recent years, children's excessive use of electronic devices has become one of the important factors in children's myopia. Looking at the electronic screen for a long time will lead to eye fatigue and promote the development of myopia. The blue light from the electronic screen also has a negative impact on the eyes, exacerbating the degree of myopia in children.
In addition, too much indoor activity has also accelerated the development of children's myopia. The indoor light is relatively weak. Children who spend a long time indoors reading books, doing homework and other close activities will make their eyes overexert for a long time, further aggravating the degree of myopia.
3. Too much academic pressure
Myopia is common in school-age children, especially in senior students. Students need to spend a lot of time on schoolwork, writing, blackboard reading and other close visual work, which makes short-term accommodative fatigue of vision not be alleviated in time, leading to increased myopia.
At the same time, too much academic pressure will also cause blood circulation disorders in children's eyes, aggravate eye diseases, and make children's myopia develop rapidly. While coping with academic pressure, parents and teachers should pay attention to children's eye health, and reasonably arrange learning time and rest time to reduce eye fatigue and myopia.
4. Environmental factors
Environmental factors also play a role in the development of children's myopia. The development of myopia is closely related to the indoor and outdoor light environment. Too weak light will lead to children's eye fatigue and increase the degree of myopia. In addition, if the outdoor light is too strong, it will also stimulate and hurt the eyes, thus promoting the growth of myopia.
Therefore, keeping outdoor activities, making rational use of light resources, and improving the reading and learning environment can effectively slow down the development of children's myopia.
summary
The reasons for the rapid development of children's myopia are closely related to genetic factors, long-term staring at the electronic screen, academic pressure and environmental factors. Parents, teachers and doctors should pay more attention to the protection of children's vision, reasonably arrange children's study and activity time, provide appropriate environment and light conditions, and timely conduct visual inspection.
Only through the joint efforts of the whole society, can the development of children's myopia be effectively slowed down and the children's eye health be protected.
