"Protect vision and prevent myopia, eye exercises , start now."
After class, this familiar voice will be heard on the radio, but children should still be myopia. Eye exercises that are repeated every day seem to have not stopped children from wearing glasses.
Since the birth of eye exercises in 1961, the debate on whether eye exercises are useful has never stopped. One thing that is often questioned is that currently China is only promoting eye exercises in the world, while the prevalence of myopia among Chinese students remains high.
2019 WHO released the first "World Vision Report" stating that the incidence of myopia in Chinese cities is as high as 67%, ranking first in the world.
If eye exercises work, why is the prevalence of myopia so high? When doing eye exercises, if your hand hygiene is not good, will it cause eye infection in ? And some surveys have shown that many people actually can't find the right acupoints and are not standard for performing exercises.
Just expecting eye health exercises to protect children's vision is obviously not enough. If you want to protect your vision, you must start with the causes of myopia.
Why make children wear glasses?
1. The academics are becoming increasingly heavy, and excessive use of eyes
Now the burden of children in primary school has become heavier. They use their eyes at close range for too long and have less eye rest time. Coupled with the influence of high-tech products such as mobile phones and tablets, the frequency and intensity of students' eyes are increased, which leads to myopia day after day.
2. Close reading and writing, poor lighting effect.
Reading books in an environment with too strong or too weak light for a long time, or incorrect posture of reading and doing homework, will cause excessive tension and fatigue of the eyes, normal relaxation and dilation ability will decrease, and the lens convexity will increase and cannot recover, and gradually form myopia.
3. Parents lack concern for their children's daily eyes
Many parents allow their children to watch TV, play computers and mobile games. Children look at the fluorescent screen for a long time and don’t consider resting at all. If this happens for a long time, symptoms such as eye swelling, orbital pain, , unclear vision, and congestion in the eye will occur, which will have adverse effects on the child's eyes.
4. Lack of exercise
The physical and mental health of children cannot be separated from proper exercise. Some exercises can prevent and treat symptoms of eye discomfort. Exercise can promote the continuous movement of external muscles , promote blood circulation in eye tissues, and effectively improve the tension state of ciliary muscles , thereby playing a good role in protecting and improving vision.
Exercise is proportional to vision
Let children rest, adjust and soothe their eyes!
The best way is to do ball sports and outdoor sports! ! !
Inspectorate of the National Health Commission's Disease Control and Prevention Bureau said: Appropriate outdoor exercise can not only improve children's health, but also play a very critical role in the prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents. Day activities can not only prevent myopia, but also play a role in controlling the development of myopia for children who have already developed myopia.
At least 2 hours of outdoor activities a day, insisting on sufficient daytime outdoor activities is of great significance to prevent myopia and preventing the aggravation of myopia. Studies have shown that blue light in the sun's rays have an inhibitory effect on myopia.
Why can engaging in ball sports prevent myopia?
Ball sports such as football, basketball, handball , with a wide field of vision, can effectively relax the eyes and reduce myopia.
Table tennis, badminton or tennis are the fastest small ball events, each serving has different lengths, heights, rotations and speeds, and is ever-changing.The eyes aim at the ball and constantly adjusting movement up and down can improve the tension of the ciliary muscles, make them relax and contract. At the same time, the external muscles can also continue to move, promote blood circulation in the eye tissue, improve eye visual acuity, eliminate eye fatigue, and thus play a role in preventing myopia.
Of course, while parents accompany their children to exercise, don’t forget to teach their babies to develop good hygiene habits. Bacteria will enter the eyes through the hands, and the conjunctiva of the eye is easily stimulated by external stimulation, so children must not rub their eyes with dirty hands when exercising, and develop the good habit of washing hands frequently and hygienic.
