Wednesday, March 9 Daily Eye Care Tips 【How to prevent myopia in children and adolescents?】 】
Nowadays, premature and excessive exposure to electronic products, unbalanced diet, sweets and other reasons have led to more and more children wearing myopia glasses from primary school, bringing a lot of inconvenience to children's life and learning.
If the child often squints when looking at things, blinks frequently, rubs his eyes frequently, likes to tilt his head to look at objects, often frowns, and closes his eyes when looking at things, he should take the child to check his vision in time and actively prevent and control it. Remember the following four points to adjust your vision and protect your child's eyes.
1. Participate in outdoor activities and exercise
Let your child increase outdoor activities and exercise so that they can spend more than 60 minutes a day exposed to natural light outdoors when they are at home. Studies have shown that outdoor exercise in the sun for no less than 2 hours a day has a definite effect on the prevention of myopia. Therefore, parents should take their children to play outdoors during the day. Even if you don't exercise, you can just stay outdoors.
2. Minimize the time spent using electronic products
Parents should minimize the use of electronic products when accompanying their children, the use of electronic products for non-learning purposes should not exceed 15 minutes at a time, and after using electronic products to learn for 30-40 minutes, they should rest and relax for 10-15 minutes.
The use of electronic products in a low age, for a long time and at close range is one of the main reasons for the growth of myopia in children and adolescents. Parents should control their children's premature use of electronics.
3. Eat less sweets and sit in a correct posture when writing homework
Because too much sweets can cause the loss of calcium, and calcium is an indispensable vitamin for the eyeball and a protector of the eye tissue. The loss of calcium from the eyeball will reduce the elasticity of the sclera, reduce the elasticity of the retina, and elongate the anterior and posterior diameters of the eyeball, thereby contributing to myopia. Therefore, eating more chewy foods such as carrots, beans, and dried fruits can prevent myopia.
Children and adolescents should maintain the correct posture of writing homework and reading: the body should sit upright, the eyes should be kept one foot apart from the book, the chest should be kept a fist distance from the desk, and the fingers holding the pen should be one inch away from the fingers.
4. Parents have high myopia, and they should regularly take their children to review their vision
If the parents are highly myopic, the genetic probability of the child's myopia will be higher. At this time, we should pay attention to the development of children's vision and regularly take children to review their vision. If a child is found to be myopia, a scientific myopia prevention and control plan should be adopted.
