Chubby face, shiny eyes, cute baby look, every parent can't get tired of looking at it.
However, as they grow up, many children are young, and the small bridge of their noses wears a pair of thick glasses, which not only affects the image, but also has many inconveniences in life.
The so-called "male and female outside 5 meters are difficult to distinguish, 10 meters away from the six relatives do not recognize", although this is a joke of netizens on their own myopia, but many of the real problems brought about by myopia are real.
Therefore, as parents, we must pay attention to the child's vision problems, especially when the baby is still young, they do not understand the importance of protecting their vision, and we should pay more attention.
For example, the following 3 things, if parents do not pay attention to the "stepping on the pit", it is likely to affect the baby's vision, and accompany the glasses early.
Premature exposure to electronics
In the information age, mobile phones, televisions, and IPads have not only been sought after by countless adults, but also prematurely entered the lives of children.
Even some babies are not yet 3 years old, they can use their mobile phones to watch cartoons, turn on the TV to find cartoon channels, and love these electronic products.
However, these electronic products are very harmful to vision, if the parents of the baby to the TV, mobile phone to the baby as an "early education machine", it is easy to have an indelible impact on their vision.
On the one hand, the display of electronic products such as mobile phones is very bright, and the baby's retina is not mature, and under long-term gaze, the damage to vision is very large.
On the other hand, these electronic product displays have a large number of short-wave blue light, very penetrating, can directly pass through the vitreous body and crystals in the baby's eyes, directly to the macular area of the fundus, over time may cause damage to the macular area, affecting its vision development.
Therefore, to avoid early myopia in children, it is crucial to use electronic products correctly, and we can refer to the advice given by the American Academy of Pediatrics:
Children under 18 months of age should try to avoid using electronic products;
Children aged 18-24 months, if parents want to introduce digital media, control content input to avoid children watching by themselves;
Children aged 2-5 should not watch electronic products for more than 1 hour per day.
Use a lamp-warmed bather when bathing
The weather is cold, and many mothers will arrange the bath bully when bathing the baby, afraid that the bathroom temperature is too low to freeze the baby.
However, the light intensity of the lamp-warm bath master is very high, if the baby looks at it for a long time, it is easy to cause damage to vision, especially when we bathe for the younger baby, most of them take a supine position, and the baby's eyes will inevitably look directly at the bath master, which will be more susceptible to being affected.
Of course, the Internet rumors "open the bath bully to wash the baby's fart, the result leads to blindness" is also not credible, the use of lamp warm type bath bully although it is indeed harmful, but in the case of high probability, will not lead to such extreme results, if the mother has bathed for the baby to use the lamp warm type bath bully, do not have to worry too much.
But all in all, everyone is still cautious as well, try to open the bath bully before bathing, wait for the bathroom temperature to rise and then bring the baby in, or directly replace the "air-heated bath bully" to solve the problem from the root.
Often use the flash to take pictures of your baby
Seeing that the baby looks so cute, many parents can't help but take out their mobile phones to "take a big shot", and also share the photos to the circle of friends with great interest, looking forward to receiving everyone's praise.
However, the brightness of the flash is very high, if the parents shoot in the wrong way, let the flash shoot directly into the baby's eyes, it is also easy to cause an impact on the baby's retina, affecting the normal development of vision.
In real life, many people may have had such an experience, when taking pictures with flash at night, there is a small spot of light in front of the eyes without taking a few shots, which will disappear after a while, and if the baby uses the flash too many times, it will be easy to cause similar problems.
But the flash, though glaring, is home
On the one hand, the flash is a divergent light source, the brightness will drop significantly with the distance, and we can keep the distance when taking pictures for the baby.
On the other hand, the baby's gaze ability is not perfect, many times when we take pictures for the baby, he will swing left and right to look around, and the probability of directly staring at the flash is relatively small.
Therefore, when we take pictures of the baby, we must avoid being too close, but also avoid the baby looking directly at the flash light source, or simply use natural light, choose a sunny day, and take pictures of the baby at home.
