The first critical stage is the newborn
Concerns: Congenital ptosis, congenital cataracts, congenital glaucoma
In recent years, the incidence of neonatal eye diseases has shown a rising trend year by year, about 4% to 6% of newborns have congenital disabilities, of which about 15% have eye diseases, at this time, as long as parents carefully observe the baby's physical condition, they can find that the problem needs to be treated as soon as possible, so as not to delay the baby's life.
Recommendation: After one month of life, a fundus examination is done to confirm that there are no congenital diseases in the vitreous and retina.
Children with a family history of eye disease, low weight infants, and premature babies should pay more attention to eye examination.
If it is found that there is an upper eyelid covering more than 1/2 of the pupil, crystal-like turbidity, these are abnormal signals, be vigilant. Most lesions, if detected early, can be treated and rehabilitated, and normal vision can be regained.
Babies are generally interested in luminous things, but the baby's pupils are relatively large, if the light brightness is too high, it is easy to hurt the baby's eyes, so it is necessary to cultivate a good habit of turning off the lights and sleeping.
The second critical period - 2 to 3 years old
Concerns: farsightedness, astigmatism, refractive error, strabismus, amblyopia
The shape of our eyes is formed in the mother's body, in addition to congenital eye diseases, the functions of the eyes are after birth, while being stimulated by the surrounding environment, while relying on the development of the human body gradually improved, and the refractive state is also constantly changing.
Newborns are two or three years old to six years old, refractive error, refractive error, strabismus, amblyopia, etc. are not easy to detect. Some eye problems wait until after the age of 6 to have symptoms and then correct them, and the effect is poor.
Recommendation: Pay more attention to the child's usual eye abnormalities, if there is an abnormality, please go to a regular institution for examination.
The third critical period - preschool
Concern: Eye refractive hyperdevelopment, myopia warning
Under normal circumstances, newborns are in a state of hyperopia in both eyes, and when the child grows to 7-8 years old, this physiological farsightedness basically disappears, and this process is called the "process of facing up".
Children aged 4 to 5 years old will have physiological farsightedness of about 200 to 250 degrees, and this 200-degree farsightedness can be used as a visual reserve for "loss" to avoid "running out of food".
Before the age of 10, children's farsighted reserves are generally more, and there are about 150 degrees of farsightedness reserves. But if you don't pay attention to the habit of using your eyes, myopia will slowly appear. Especially at a time when electronic products are popular at the moment, children's age of touching the internet is getting younger and younger, and some people start playing mobile phones from the age of 2 or 3, which means that the consumption rate of farsighted reserves is accelerating, and the age of myopia will appear sooner and earlier.
Recommendation: Check your vision regularly and prevent myopia scientifically.
The fourth critical period - before the age of 12
Concern: Pseudomyopia, scientific correction
After the child enters the school age, this period is the stage of development of refractive errors in adolescents. According to survey statistics, 35% of primary school students in China have myopia. The younger age of myopia has attracted great attention from society.
Recommendation: Adolescents and children have strong eye regulation, and excessive adjustment involvement may lead to the early arrival of myopia. Therefore, at this time, if you see that the child often squints and rubs his eyes, he should pay attention to taking the child for visual function examination as soon as possible.
After the child is diagnosed with myopia, he should cooperate with vision training in time to achieve the effect of myopia prevention and control.
