School is approaching and children are about to return to school. In addition to adjusting the work and rest time and debugging the psychological state, parents should also care about the child's vision health. In recent times, many parents have taken their children to do vision checks.
Yesterday afternoon, Xu Shirong media reporter saw in the First People's Hospital of Xuzhou City that many parents came with their children to check their vision and dispense glasses. Many parents said that their children will spend a long time looking at their mobile phones every day during the holidays, resulting in decreased vision and some effort to see far away.
Doctors told reporters that in recent years, children's myopia has increasingly shown a trend of younger age. If myopia in children and adolescents is not corrected in a timely and standardized manner, it will lead to the rapid development of myopia, and once it develops into high myopia, it will have a negative impact on the child's eye health.
Zhu Ran, deputy director of the Eye Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Xuzhou First People's Hospital and director of the Refractive Index Center, told reporters: "Since the winter vacation, their daily eye clinic volume has been about 1500 people. In fact, every year during the winter and summer vacations, the number of people visiting ophthalmology clinics is increasing sharply. More than half of these patients come to the doctor because of myopia or refractive errors in children or adolescents. At present, the proportion of myopia in six- and seven-year-old children has increased significantly. ”
Ophthalmologists remind: If you want to maintain normal vision, do not become myopic, the most important thing is not to use the eyes for a long time, close to the eyes for too long, to develop good eye habits.
Zhu Ran, deputy director of the Eye Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Center of Xuzhou First People's Hospital and director of the Refractive Index Center, said: "First of all, we should pay attention to the posture, including the posture of reading, writing, and doing homework, and the sentence we often talk about is called one punch, one foot, one inch. The so-called punch is the distance between your body and the desk is a punch; a foot, is the eye is a foot away from your book; an inch that everyone may often overlook, that is, the hand you hold the pen is one inch away from the tip of the pen. We have a rule of 20, 20, 20 that is very easy to remember, such as reading a book for about 20 minutes, looking into the distance for 20 seconds, which means 20 feet, that is, a distance of 6 meters. “
