Some time ago, a thin little boy came to an outpatient clinic.
The child's mother said that about half a year ago, the child began to squint his eyes all day and liked to look closely. At first, we think that the child is looking close to things because of the performance of concentration.
After another two weeks, after eating in the evening and calling the child out for a walk, he did not agree with it, and he sentenced the two people before. I like to read books and play with the computer at home.
For parents, such children are easy to bring, there is no danger in not going out, and they can learn a lot of knowledge, which is better.
The child's grandparents are highly educated, so that the next generation can also be ahead of others.
Since the age of 3, he has been reporting various math classes, Go classes, English classes, and painting classes to his grandson.
At home, I use computers and iPads to download a lot of early education films, watch them with children every day, and practice eloquence.
Who knows, after 3 years, the originally lively children have become "otaku", do not like to go out and are too lazy to exercise. Either in kindergarten or lying on the couch watching TV.
It is unimaginable that a 6-year-old child has 800-degree myopia.
It is the duty of parents to give their children the right amount of love and care. In order to win at the starting line, learning ahead can only be more than worth the loss.
Bad living habits and learning habits are undoubtedly the culprits that worsen children's vision.

Because of myopia, the burden on children is not only material, but also spiritual.
Security Account
Myopic children are easily endangered in confrontational sports such as basketball, and they are indispensable to physical collisions, and they are very likely to have broken lenses and scratch their eyelids, not to mention the risk that high myopia is prone to blindness.
When myopic children see these "dangerous" events, they will establish a safe zone for self-protection, and exercise is risky, so they prefer to stay quiet than exercise again.
Economic account
People wearing glasses need to be reviewed every year, and the degree change of more than 50 degrees needs to be replaced. About once or twice a year, coupled with improper use of damage, from time to time with contact lenses, this life, the money spent on glasses alone is not a small amount.
Face value account
Wearing myopic glasses will not deform the child's eyes, which is a wrong feeling for everyone.
The limited visible range of the lenses of myopic glasses will also make the eyes less flexible, appearing a little distracted and sluggish.
Grade ledger
Data show that the same amount of learning, myopic children pay 30% more time and mental work than children with normal vision. Due to unclear vision, it not only affects the child's attention, but also makes him emotionally irritable.
Genetic ledger
Parents are myopic, and children are relatively prone to myopia. For a seven-year-old child, the odds of myopia: 10% < if both parents are not nearsighted; 10% if one of the child's parents has myopia; 100% if both parents are highly myopic.
Psychological accounting
From the day you put on your glasses, you will always be trapped in the shadow of others giving your child a nickname... What four-eyed field chicken, two cakes, small glasses... The speaker has no intention, the listener has a heart!
The distance between a myopic child and a child with healthy vision is not only a pair of glasses, but also a huge bill.
Without good vision, the face of the most beautiful world is only a blur.

In the National Vision Health white paper released in 2016, data showed:
Among people over the age of 5 on the mainland, 1 in 3 people is myopic. Among children and adolescents, the average myopia rate of 6-15 years old reaches 46.64%.
There are many reasons for myopia, especially the frequent use of electronic products such as mobile phones and tablets, children's premature entry into the classroom, and the increasing number of outdoor activities, resulting in a higher and higher incidence of myopia and the development of younger age.
In fact, some small actions of children in the pre-myopia indicate that children may develop towards myopia. Like what:
Likes to squint at things
Myopia is a pathological condition in which you see clearly in the near and not at a distance. When squinting, part of the pupil can be blocked, which can reduce the scattering of light, which can temporarily improve your vision and make yourself see more clearly.
When children often complain that the light in the house is too dark when reading and writing, they should consider that they may suffer from early myopia.
Blink frequently and rub your eyes
There is a classic theory of myopia called fuzzy image stimulation, that is, the eye in a state of unclear vision will promote the growth of the eye axis, resulting in faster progression of myopia. At this time, I like to rub my eyes, which often indicates that the child's vision is decreasing.
Frequent frowning and pulling the corners of the eyes
Some myopic children often have the habit of frowning at things and pulling their eyes, trying to borrow external forces to keep their vision clear. However, it is temporary, and in the long run, it will cause greater astigmatism.
Often tilt your head to look at objects
When you find that your child has the habit of strabismus, consider whether he or she has myopia. When it is found that children often tilt their heads to look at objects, they must correct their wrong posture of looking at objects in time so as not to make them develop the habit of tilting their heads.
Therefore, we should give our children a physical examination of their vision every year and establish a health file, so that we can find out early whether the child has a tendency to be myopic. If so, early intervention and early treatment can be done.

In particular, the frequent use of electronic products such as mobile phones and tablets, children entering the classroom prematurely, and outdoor activities are decreasing, resulting in a higher and higher incidence of myopia and the development of younger age.
The most important thing to protect your eyesight is to insist on outdoor activities for 2 hours a day, effectively reducing the incidence of myopia and the deepening of myopia.
Good reading and writing posture is guaranteed
The World Health Organization's correct sitting posture standards: eye distance from the book, one foot; chest distance from table, one punch; finger distance from the tip of the pen, one inch. Ensure that the upper body is straight and the neck is well supported.
Reasonable use of electronic products
Don't watch TV for more than 30 minutes a day and don't expose your child to electronics. The phone sets the screen brightness so that it is neither glaring nor too dark. Properly humidify the living environment in order to relieve dry eyes.
Be sure to get more outdoors
Let the child go to nature more often, look away after 40 minutes of learning, or close their eyes and rest for 10 minutes. Stick to it for 14-15 hours a week, soak up the sun outdoors and give your child a pair of bright eyes.
Rub your temples for 10 minutes between classes
Massage method: use the index finger to press and rub the temples, each massage for 2 minutes, can play a role in dispelling wind and pain, calming and calming, relieving fatigue, blindness, concentration.
