In recent years, with the development of modern electronic products, the number of myopia patients in my country has increased year by year.
According to statistics, the number of myopia patients in my country has exceeded 600 million! , The youth myopia rate is 53.6%, ranking first in the world!
Adolescents who do not suffer from myopia and do not wear glasses are becoming more and more rare. It may be because it is so common that many people do not worry about myopia. However, ophthalmologists say:
myopia is far more harmful than people think, especially It has developed into high myopia (that is, the degree exceeds 600 degrees). If it is not scientifically prevented, it can easily cause blindness such as cataracts and glaucoma.
Bad habits are the culprit of myopia
Some time ago, a young boy came to an outpatient clinic.
The mother of the child said that about half a year ago, the child started squinting his eyes all day and likes to look closely at things. At first I felt that the child's closeness was because of the concentration. After another two weeks,
called the child to go out for a walk after eating at night. He disagreed life and death, so he liked to read books and play on the computer at home.
For parents, such a child is easy to take, there is no danger if you don't go out, and you can learn a lot of knowledge, which is great. The grandparents of
children are all highly educated, so that the next generation can be ahead of others.
has enrolled his grandson for various math classes, Go classes, etc. since he was 3 years old. For convenience, I downloaded a lot of early education videos on the computer ipad and watched them with my children every day to practice eloquence.
is unimaginable: a 6-year-old child has 800 degrees of myopia.
vision damage is irreversible, only with age, the degree of myopia gradually deepens, until around the age of 18, as growth and development stop myopia can gradually stabilize.
and bad living habits and study habits are undoubtedly the culprit of deteriorating children's eyesight. In this situation, how can we prevent children from myopia? How
myopia is formed before
proposes a method, let’s take a look at why children’s myopia is increasing.
First of all, 0-12 years old is the developmental period of the child's eyeballs. At this time, the child's visual acuity is inherently unstable. If the parent ignores it, and the child overuses his eyes, it is easy to develop myopia. What does
mean? There are two muscles in our eyes called ciliary muscle , which adjusts the lens through the contraction and relaxation of the ciliary muscle, helping us to look closer and farther.
Some people compare the ciliary muscle to a rubber band . Under normal circumstances, it can be restored to its original shape after contracting and stretching. However, if you look close and far away for a long time, such as close reading, writing homework, watching TV, playing iPad, the ciliary muscles are in a fixed state for a long time, which will cause fatigue and spasm in the eye.
is like stretching a rubber band for a long time, and the rubber band slowly loses its elasticity. If the ciliary muscle is tired and the ability to adjust eyesight becomes poor, the increase in power will become faster.
Four major signs of myopia in children
In fact, some small actions of pre-myopia children indicate that children may develop myopia. For example:
[like squinting to see things]
myopia refers to a pathological condition in which you can see clearly near but not far away. When squinting, part of the pupil can be blocked, which can reduce light scattering and temporarily improve vision , Let yourself see more clearly.
When children often complain that the light in the room is too dark when reading and writing, it should be considered that they may suffer from early myopia.
[Frequent blinking, rubbing eyes]
myopia has a classic theory of blurring like irritation, that is, when the eyes are not clear, they will promote the growth of the eye axis, leading to faster progress of myopia. At this time, I like to rub my eyes. , Often prompts the child's vision loss.
[frowns frequently and pulls the corners of the eyes]
Some myopic children often have the habit of frowning to see things, pulling their eyes, and trying to use external force to maintain clear vision. But this is only temporary, and long-term this will cause greater astigmatism.
[Always tilt your head to look at objects]
When you find that your child has the habit of strabismus, consider whether he has myopia. When you find that your child often tilts his head to look at an object, he must correct the wrong posture of looking at the object in time, So as not to develop the habit of tilting his head.
Therefore, we should check the eyesight of the child every year and establish a health file, so that we can find out if the child has a tendency of myopia as soon as possible. If there is, we must remember to intervene and treat early. In addition, we should also develop it from an early age. Good life and study habits.
1. Improving the eye environment
Normally reading, writing, watching TV, playing with mobile phones, as long as you are doing activities that use your eyes for a long time, it is recommended to ensure the light. The light should not be too bright or too weak. The suggestion of
is that the wall can be arranged in beige , the desktop can be arranged in green , and the paper should choose road forest paper for eye protection.
2, pay attention to the distance between the eyes
The correct sitting posture standard of the World Health Organization: the distance between the eyes and the book, one foot: the distance between the chest and the table; one punch: the distance between the fingers and the pen tip, one inch. Make sure the upper body is straight and the neck is well supported.

Do not watch TV for more than 30 minutes a day, and keep children away from electronic products. The phone sets the screen brightness so that it is neither glaring nor too dark. Properly humidify the living environment to relieve dry eyes.
