After the "double reduction", a third-party survey data showed that 60.6% of the parents surveyed during the winter vacation felt that most of the children around them had achieved a burden reduction. Among the parents of primary and secondary school students surveyed, 37.3% of their children are in grades 1-3 of primary school, 36.1% of children in grades 4-6, and 16.8% of children in the first and second grades of junior high school. However, in the view of ophthalmology and optometry specialists, in the first semester of the implementation of the "double reduction" and the first long holiday after the "double reduction", the myopia clinic for adolescents and children has not been reduced, and the myopia prevention and control of related groups has ushered in a new atmosphere and encountered new challenges.
On the one hand, children have more time to do housework, play, read extracurricular books, go outdoors, etc., which is also good for children's vision protection; on the other hand, children's unhealthy eye problems may be aggravated, such as lying down watching TV, playing games for a long time...
Eye hospital winter vacation visits are still hot
Li Jianhua, director of the Department of Optometry and Myopia Prevention and Control of Guangzhou Aier Eye Hospital affiliated to Jinan University, said in an interview with reporters that in fact, from the outpatient volume of about 3,000 people during the winter vacation, the number of children with glasses because of myopia has not decreased significantly.

"Theoretically, after the double subtraction, the child's vision should be more significantly improved." But because this situation has only lasted for one semester, the benefits to vision cannot be directly shown at present, and there are still many children with decreased vision. I think there's going to be a lag effect. ”
Director Li pointed out that on the other hand, in the face of the country's double reduction, parents may not be able to adapt at the first time. They may feel more anxious because of the reduction in homework, so that the child will add some additional training, reading, learning, etc., spontaneously forming a confrontation. Therefore, the effect of "double subtraction" on vision protection takes longer to observe.
For this point, third-party survey data also shows that 64.4% of the parents surveyed frankly said that they were worried that their children could not learn independently and effectively; 48.3% of the parents surveyed were worried about the light learning tasks and the decline of their children's grades.
How to do a good job in myopia prevention and control during the "double reduction" period
Director Li Jianhua
If you come to the doctor during the winter vacation, the problem does not necessarily lie in the holiday. Director Li reminded that before this, the child's vision may have been a problem, but because the winter vacation does not need to take the test, you can lie down and watch TV, play games for a long time, so the children do not even know that their eyesight has dropped. When the school starts or as soon as the school starts, I find that the blackboard cannot be seen - the myopia has deepened.
Kobayashi is a small patient of Director Li, and the first time he came to the hospital for examination was in June 2018, when he was 6 years old, and the examination found that both eyes still had a 75-degree reserve of farsightedness. For the next year and a half, his parents did not take him to the hospital for examination, and by February 2020, Kobayashi was only in the second grade, and when he checked again, he found that he had become short-sighted.
"So if there is a problem with a child's eyes, the vision loss is usually the last to be seen." At this point, there is no room for turning. Director Li stressed that at present, parents should change their thinking, advance the nodes of myopia prevention and control and intervention, and do a good job in myopia prevention and control of different individuals with the help of doctors, so that the "double reduction" can play the greatest role and protect the children's vision.
