Experts from Wuhan Children's Eye Hospital said: How to effectively prevent children's myopia from worsening?
As parents, we all hope that children can have good eyesight. However, children's myopia is becoming more and more common in modern society. Myopia will not only affect children's learning and quality of life, but also may lead to a series of eye health problems. Therefore, it is very important to take effective measures as soon as possible to prevent the further deterioration of children's myopia. The following introduces the four methods proposed by experts from Wuhan Children's Eye Hospital.
Scientific eye use, limit eye use time
Children's eyes are very sensitive to using eyes for a long time at close range, and overuse of eyes is one of the main reasons for deepening myopia. Therefore, scientific eye use and limited eye use time are the basis for preventing children's myopia. Experts suggest that after every 40 minutes of close eye use, 10 minutes of activities away from the target should be carried out to let the eyes rest. In addition, outdoor activities and physical exercises can be arranged to reduce the pressure of eye use and increase the use time of hyperopia.
In addition to limiting the time of eye use, the posture of children's eye use is also very important. The correct reading posture should be: keep a proper distance from the reading materials, maintain a sitting or standing posture, and avoid excessive forward tilt of the head. In the process of learning and writing, paying attention to maintaining correct posture will help reduce eye fatigue and vision problems.
Balanced nutrition, enhance eye health
Diet is essential for children's visual development. In order to strengthen eye health, it is necessary to ensure that children eat enough vitamin A, C, E and other nutrients. These vitamins can help maintain the normal function of the retina and other visual systems. Foods rich in vitamin A include carrots, spinach and tomatoes; Vitamin C is rich in citrus fruits and vegetables; Nuts and cod are rich in vitamin E.
In addition, Omega-3 fatty acids are also believed to help protect eye health. It can be supplemented by eating fish, flaxseed oil, walnuts and other foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids. Balanced nutrition in the diet helps to provide the nutrition needed by the eyes, thus preventing further deterioration of myopia.
Regular eye health examination
Regular eye health examination is one of the important measures to prevent further deterioration of children's myopia. For children, eye care examination includes vision test, diopter examination and fundus examination. These examinations can detect eye health problems as early as possible, so as to take timely intervention measures.
Experts recommend that children can start regular eye health examination at the age of 3, at least once a year. If the degree of myopia increases or other eye health problems are found, doctors can develop personalized treatment plans according to the specific situation and give reasonable advice on eye use.
Good eye environment to reduce the risk of myopia
Good eye environment is very important for children's eye health. Ensure enough light to avoid excessive dark light or strong direct light hitting the eyes. In addition, appropriate indoor lighting and writing distance shall be maintained to avoid using electronic products for a long time and ensure good sleep quality.
In addition, good eye hygiene habits should be developed, such as frequent hand washing and correct use of eye drops. Keep the sanitary environment around the eyes clean and avoid unreasonable behaviors such as abuse of eyedrops, which will help prevent eye diseases and myopia.
In a word, in order to effectively prevent the further deterioration of children's myopia, we should use our eyes scientifically, pay attention to balanced nutrition, conduct regular eye health checks and create a good eye environment. This is a key method to help children stay away from myopia and maintain good eyesight through a number of suggestions put forward by experts from Wuhan Children's Eye Hospital.
