The real "eye protection" practices are these:
Wear sunglasses. The American Optometry Society (AOA) has mentioned that children's eyes are more permeable than adults, and ultraviolet rays are easier to reach the retina.
Therefore, when going outdoors, it is best to wear a pair of sunglasses for your child.
Reduce the use of eyes at close range. Whether it is an electronic screen or a paper book, long-term close-up use of the eye may increase the risk of myopia.
Develop good eye habits. Use your eyes for 20 minutes at close range and look at a distance of 6 meters for 20 seconds.
The above rules apply to the use of paper books, computers, mobile phones, etc.
2 hours of outdoor activity per day. Studies in recent years have also found that children who spend more time outdoors are also at less risk of myopia.
If possible, have your child outdoors for 2 hours a day.
Regular eye exams. For the prevention of myopia, school-age children (6 years of age) undergo a comprehensive eye examination once a year.
Examinations include vision, optometry, mydriasis, fundus examination, and eye axis length.
If the child is found to be myopia, follow up according to the actual situation according to the doctor's instructions.
