Therefore, it is necessary to move the "threshold" of myopia prevention and control to kindergarten and preschool age to avoid the high incidence of myopia in primary school. Therefore, when we are in kindergarten, we should start to pay attention to protecting our farsightedness reserves and avoid our own short-sightedness! Parents should pay more attention to the protection of their children's vision in kindergarten, actively take their children outdoors, and minimize the time for children to use electronic products. Kindergartens should reduce reading-related educational activities as much as possible, and regularly check the child's eyesight, diopters, etc. For children with insufficient farsightedness reserve or myopia detected in the early stage, parents and kindergartens should take targeted myopia prevention and control measures in time.
