A few days ago, a parent confided in us. "My son is in the third grade, he has always been worried about his myopia, usually also told him, do not always play mobile phones, if you can't see clearly to tell us, last week said that you can't see clearly, and so take to the hospital to check, the doctor said true myopia! 300 degrees! Let's wear glasses! ay! ”
This happens frequently, in fact, it is too late for the child to say that he can't see clearly!
Beijing People's Eye Hospital
1. The child said that he could not see clearly, and it was already true myopia
Due to the child's unclear expression or the parents' lack of medical knowledge, many children may have been myopic for more than 200 degrees or even 300 degrees when they feel that their eyes are "not clear", even if they are "visible", they may have been blurred and really myopic.
In addition to the child's inaccurate description of the vision situation, some children will be afraid or depressed in the face of myopia and dare not tell their parents. Day after day, the degree of myopia became higher and higher, and finally even the blackboard could not be seen clearly, so I had to open my mouth.
See ≠ see clearly
2, missed a short but valuable dry expectation
What is more unfortunate is that many children are often still in pseudo-myopia in this "vague" stage, and if they can intervene in time, they are expected to recover. But for various reasons, it is difficult to detect, misses the short but precious dry expectation, and develops true myopia, which is necessary to accompany glasses for a long time.
When the child can't speak clearly or is unwilling to confide, how can parents find signs of myopia in the child. What details will reveal the information of myopia, let's take a look, do you also have these signals?
1. Often squint your eyes to see things
Children often squint when looking at things, because the eyelids can cover part of the pupil when squinting, which can reduce the scattering of light, which can temporarily improve and improve vision.
Therefore, when your child squints at objects frequently, it should be taken into account that they may have early myopia.
2. Frequent blinking
Frequent blinking can alleviate myopia to a certain extent and enhance vision.
Therefore, when your child has symptoms of frequent blinking, you should consider whether to take him to the refraction.
3. Rub your eyes frequently
When some children can't see objects clearly because of myopia, they often rub their eyes with their hands in order to see objects better.
Therefore, when you find that your child rubs his eyes frequently, he should be taken to check his vision in time.
4, often tilt your head to look at objects
Children with early myopia often tilt their heads to look at objects. This is because tilting one's head to look at an object reduces the effect of scattered light on one's vision.
Therefore, when it is found that your child often tilts his head to look at objects, be sure to take him to check his vision and correct his wrong posture of looking at objects, so as not to make him develop the habit of tilting his head.
05, often frown
Some children with myopia have the habit of frowning.
It's one way they're trying to improve their vision.
However, frequent frowning will cause the extraocular muscles to compress the eyeball, which will accelerate the development of myopia.
6. Often pull the corners of the eyes
A small number of children who suffer from myopia often use their hands to pull the corners of their eyes outward.
Because doing so can have the same effect as tilting your head and squinting your eyes.
Therefore, when you find that your child has a habit of pulling the corners of his eyes, it is possible that he is nearsighted and does not tell you.
7. Look at the writing at close range
When your child looks at objects, always stick close to them, and when reading and writing, often complain that the light in the house is too dark, consider that your child may have nearsightedness.

Even if these signals are not found, parents should not be careless, as school-age children, regular eye examinations are very necessary!
Children and adolescents should go to the eye examination every 3-6 months, detect vision changes as early as possible, and if possible, they can take their children to beijing people's eye hospital to establish refractive files.
01. Timely detection of myopia in children
02. Learn more about the composition and causes of myopia
03. Find abnormal conditions of normal vision and refractive light, and provide a reference for formulating a child's myopia correction plan
In addition, parents should also pay attention to helping their children develop good eye habits and correctly view myopia.
(1) The occurrence and development of myopia in children is mainly related to genetic factors, eye habits and the environment, and the time spent in close eyes should be reduced and outdoor activities should be increased;
2
(2) After the formation of true myopia, scientific measures need to be taken to intervene to delay the increase in myopia and avoid its development into high myopia;
(3) Children who determine true myopia should choose a formal institution, use frame correction or wear orthokeratology to delay the growth of myopia.
