Is it possible for a child to be myopic for life? If these can be seen in the child, the child may really be able to avoid myopia for life. Let good luck pass on to you.
First, genes are good. As long as the child's parents are not myopic, then most children will have a short eye axis and low corneal curvature, which is to inherit the good genes of their parents. The curvature is low, which can compensate for part of the degree brought about by the length of the eye axis. The relatively short eye axis is one of the reasons why many children are not myopic.
Second, love the outdoors. Outdoor more sun, sunlight can stimulate the secretion of dopamine, and dopamine can inhibit the growth rate of the eye axis, so that the child spends more than 2 hours of outdoor activities every day, if it can be done, then the child's eye axis will always be maintained at normal values.
Third, love sports. A moderate amount of exercise every day can not only exercise the child's eye muscles, but also enhance the child's physique and enhance resistance. Outdoor sports can be done: badminton, football, basketball, table tennis and many more. The distance of the ball game plays a very good role in the child's regulation.
Fourth, good habits. Children have good pen holding posture and eye habits. Stick to the three 20 rules: After 20 minutes of eyesight, look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Use the habit of using your eyes to keep a punch one foot and one inch: the posture of holding a pen should be done, one against two pressures and three foils.
Fifth, go to bed early and get up early. Children in the growing period should not stay up late, go to bed before 9 o'clock, sleep time every day to maintain more than 9 hours, the body rests, the eyes can rest well. Choose a comfortable cold compress before going to bed can alleviate eye fatigue throughout the day, reduce intraocular pressure, improve the elasticity of the sclera of the eyeball wall, inhibit the development of myopia, and improve sleep.
Sixth, refuse sweets. Sweets and carbonated drinks contain a lot of sugar, which breaks down calcium absorption, and the lack of calcium in the eyes reduces the elasticity of the eyeball wall, causing the eye axis to lengthen. Children should eat more foods containing lutein and foods rich in anthocyanins, which are substances that the eyes need. If your child is a picky eater, you can supplement with bilberry anthocyanins and luteins.
Seven, get used to looking away. Each distant view is a process of relaxation of the ciliary muscle, which causes the imaging point to fall in front of the retina, and the ciliary muscle flattens the lens. The help for naked-eye vision is enormous. The view can be done 1 to 2 times a day for 10 minutes.
8. Regular inspection. After the age of 3, the prescription, visual acuity, and eye axis are tested three times a year. After the age of 7, visual function tests are added twice a year. Pay attention to the rate of depletion of farsighted reserves and intervene in advance.
