Data from a study released by the World Health Organization in 2018 shows that there are 600 million people with myopia in China, and it will reach more than 700 million in 2020, with a prevalence rate of nearly 50%. Among them, the myopia rate of adolescents in China continues to rank first in the world, and the "2018 Results of Myopia Survey of Chinese Children and Adolescents" released by the Health commission shows that the myopia rate of primary school students is 53.6%, the myopia rate of junior high school students is 71.6%, and the myopia rate of high school students is as high as 81%, with the increase of age, the number of myopia in this group is still growing, and the degree of myopia is also increasing. The World Health Organization also lists myopia as a blinding eye disease.
In order to further promote the implementation of the "Implementation Plan for the Comprehensive Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents" and guide all localities to scientifically carry out the prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents, the Disease Control Bureau of the National Health Commission organized and formulated the "Appropriate Technical Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents". In order to do a good job in the prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents, the "Online Interview" column on the official website of the National Health Commission specially invites relevant experts to interpret the "Guide" and answer questions for the general public.
Interview Guests:
Ma Jun is a professor and director of the School Health Center of the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention
Wang Ningli, Director, Chief Physician and Professor of Ophthalmology Center of Beijing Tongren Hospital, leader of the National Anti-Blindness Technical Guidance Group
Experts said: The purpose of the formulation of the "Appropriate Technical Guidelines for the Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents" is first of all to further promote the implementation of the "Implementation Plan for the Comprehensive Prevention and Control of Myopia in Children and Adolescents", the purpose is to guide the scientific norms to carry out the prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents, and to improve the technical capabilities of children and adolescents in the prevention and control of myopia. The causes and influencing factors of myopia are very complex, and like other health problems in children and adolescents, they require the joint efforts of families, students, schools, medical institutions and society. Therefore, the prevention and control of myopia is also a systematic project, and it also needs to work together.
First of all, for example, if the family should actively create a healthy family atmosphere, parents must play a leading or exemplary role, establish health awareness, and cultivate healthy behavior habits. For example, regularly carry out some different types of parent-child outdoor activities, or take children to do some outdoor sports regularly, and reduce screen time as much as possible in front of children, such as watching TV and watching mobile phones; for children, parents should find some of their children's health problems early and intervene in time.
Second, from the perspective of students, students should establish an active view of health. From the perspective of current health promotion, each of us is actually the main body of our own health, we must recognize the importance of the current health of adolescents to his lifelong health, to strengthen this health awareness, develop healthy habits, and protect or promote their own health.
Third, schools should provide a healthy teaching environment, such as visual environment, lighting transformation, etc., strengthen extracurricular physical exercise, strengthen health education, and rational use of electronic products, regular vision monitoring, and provide a good place for myopia prevention and control.
Fourth, medical institutions can provide convenient services for students. When the child has a need for diagnosis and treatment, the hospital can provide convenient services, and standardize the diagnosis, guide the scientific dispensing of glasses, and avoid causing a second injury to the child.
Fifth, society should create a consensus that health comes first, that every member of society is a promoter, defender and beneficiary of health, and that it is necessary to create a supportive environment for the promotion of the health of children and adolescents and set an example of healthy behavior. According to the current trend, the situation of myopia in children and adolescents is still very serious, and to achieve the goals of the "Implementation Plan", there is a long way to go, and it is necessary to mobilize the whole society to make all-round efforts. According to the interventions proposed in the "Implementation Plan", families, schools, medical and health institutions, students and relevant government departments need to be widely mobilized, jointly participated in, and formed a joint force to move the threshold forward, grasp the small early, reduce new cases, and delay the development of myopia, so as to achieve the goals set in the "Implementation Plan".
ibo myopia prevention and control medical care system:
Igbo International Optometry Center (referred to as Igbo Optics), is the only designated adolescent vision detection center of Beijing Institute of Visual Science, more than 300 optometry centers across the country, using the United States ibo high-end combination technology to correct adolescent myopia, with orthokeratology as the core, so that children wear it at night when they sleep, so that the naked eye vision of children during the day will be restored in about 7 days, gradually normal, and can get rid of myopic glasses. The use of blueberry lutein directly supplements fundus nutrition to promote eye development, and the sculpting effect will be more ideal. At the same time, during the child's large-scale eye period, use eye patches to alleviate the eye fatigue caused by excessive use of the eyes during the day, so as to achieve the purpose of treating the amount greater than the amount of eyes used, to ensure that the child does not have a length, and to ensure the overall healthy development of the child's eyes. Through the overall treatment plan, both the symptoms and the root causes are treated, so as to achieve the degree of corrected vision, prevent the development of myopia, and meet the needs of visual health.
