Recently, a special class on myopia prevention was held in our district. Unlike in the past, the target audience of this class is not students or parents, but the principals and teachers of schools in the district.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, a special report on "Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents" was held in the District Education Bureau. Professor Yang Zhikuan, doctoral supervisor of Aier School of Ophthalmology of Central South University and director of Aier Institute of Optometry, explained in detail and vividly the occurrence, development and epidemiology of myopia, and explained the intervention methods of myopia in children and adolescents from the aspects of "prevention" and "control". The principals and teachers in the audience listened carefully, and after a class, many people had a deeper understanding of the prevention and control of myopia in adolescents.

I was very surprised when I heard the data on myopia at the lecture, I didn't expect the incidence of myopia to be so high. At present, the incidence of myopia in our kindergarten is about 5.9%, and I think that for kindergartens, teachers should guide them to improve their awareness of the importance of myopia prevention and control in the process of interacting with children and parents in the future.

Professor Yang gave us an analysis of the formation and harm of myopia from a more professional perspective. We may not have known much about this in the past. He also talked about a lot of real cases, which have strong guiding significance for how we can carry out myopia prevention and control work in the future.
In addition, the book "Keep Children Away from Myopia" was also promoted on the spot. This 2019 national excellent popular science work makes a comprehensive and systematic introduction in the form of comics from the aspects of knowing the eyes, understanding myopia, and the examination and diagnosis of myopia.

There are many parents who think that once their children wear glasses after myopia, the prescription will get deeper and deeper, and this book will tell you in detail that this is completely wrong. After the occurrence of myopia, it is necessary to go to a regular medical institution to choose the appropriate correction method and control method.
The reporter learned that in 2023, the myopia rate of children and adolescents in our district will decrease significantly compared with 2022. Schools in the district have also adopted various mechanisms such as the integration of medical education, sports and education, and home, school and society, focusing on exploring effective ways to prevent and control myopia among students and promote the reduction of myopia rate among adolescents.

We place great emphasis on outdoor exercise, and we and our teachers emphasize that students should enjoy enough 10 minutes between classes to ensure that students have a break. If you can do this in every lesson, it is actually very good for the students' eyes to relax and prevent fatigue.
