In recent years, the incidence of myopia among children and adolescents in my country has been high and the trend is getting younger. Regular student vision monitoring is one of the important measures to prevent and control myopia3. The Urumqi Municipal Education Bureau, Municipal Health Commission, Municipal Finance Bureau and other units jointly issued the "Urumqi Children and Adolescents Vision Monitoring Work Plan", deploying the Municipal Health Commission to actively cooperate with the education department to organize 18 ophthalmic diagnosis and treatment qualifications in the city The medical institution conducts student vision monitoring for primary and secondary school students in the city 4 times every school year.
The child's eyesight did not meet the standard during the physical examination.
The examination results made parents worried.
Recently, many parents of students have inquired about their children's physical examination reports on the Xinjiang Student Physical Health Network. The child passed many examinations, but when it came to his eyes, he was full of problems. Some children's unaided visual acuity is only 4.5, and the refractive examination shows that the child is myopic. This examination result worries many parents. As the city's designated institution for vision testing of primary and secondary school students, medical staff at Urumqi Purui Eye Hospital go to campus every year to conduct vision tests for students. They are as worried as their parents about myopic children.
In the past two days, in the vision testing area on the first floor of Urumqi Purui Eye Hospital, there was a long queue of children waiting for treatment. Chen Jing, a pediatric ophthalmology specialist at the hospital, said that holidays, winter and summer vacations are the peak times for students to have their vision checked and corrected. More homework, prolonged use of electronic screens, and unhygienic use of eyes are the main factors affecting children's visual health.
Doctors suggest that scientific examination is the key.
You should not blindly wear glasses.
Dr. Chen Jing said that in the clinic, many parents learned that their children were short-sighted in the physical examination report and couldn’t wait to take their children to the optical shop to get glasses. This is very unacceptable. Taken. There are many reasons for abnormal vision in children. It is not necessarily myopia, but may also be caused by other eye diseases. Therefore, you must take your child to a professional eye hospital for further examination to clarify the child's refractive status. General routine eye examinations include slit lamp examination, computer optometry, medical optometry, etc. Children under 7 years of age who are undergoing initial examination need atropine ciliary mydriasis. If your child is prone to lapses in reading and writing and suffers from visual fatigue, he or she also needs to undergo an visual function test . Carry out targeted glasses wearing and visual function training based on the child’s examination results.
Some parents believe that once their children wear frame glasses , they cannot take them off. The prescription will become deeper and deeper, and the child's eyeballs will protrude, affecting the beauty of the child's eyes, so they do not give their children glasses. Dr. Chen Jing explained that in fact, the deepening of myopia mainly depends on the health of the eyes and the time spent in outdoor activities. It has nothing to do with whether or not wearing glasses. On the contrary, patients who do not wear glasses for correction will have their eyes blurred for a long time, and the degree will deepen. Faster. There are many types of glasses on the market. The most important prerequisite for children to choose glasses is that they suit them. When teenagers and children wear glasses, they can choose spectacle frames with soft edges and protective nose pads . When choosing lenses, you should try to consider the development of the child's eyes. For children whose myopia increases too quickly, they can choose functional lenses or orthokeratology lenses .
Myopia is highly prevalent in summer.
It is very important to use your eyes properly.
Dr. Chen Jing introduced that every summer vacation is the peak period for students to seek medical treatment, and it is also the period of high incidence of myopia among students. During the holidays, children must use multiple methods to scientifically protect their eyes.
First of all, insist on participating in various forms of outdoor activities and physical exercises, and try to achieve more than 2 hours a day for primary and secondary school students and more than 3 hours a day for young children. Secondly, maintain correct reading and writing postures and control the time you use your eyes. Do not read or write under too weak or too strong light. Use your eyes at close range for 30-40 minutes and take a 10-minute break. At the same time, you should also pay attention to long-term close eye use such as playing the piano, drawing, playing with Lego, and playing with mobile phones. Thirdly, conduct regular eye health examinations, establish visual development files, and supervise children to develop good eye habits. This summer, children whose eyesight does not meet the standard in the school physical examination can come to Urumqi Purui Eye Hospital for free vision examination with the Urumqi Student Vision Test Review Notice. The free examination includes: ordinary registration, visual acuity test, mydriasis , and slit lamp Examination, computer optometry examination.
Finally, Dr. Chen Jing from Urumqi Purui Eye Hospital reminds students and parents that if during the summer you find that your child likes to squint, tilt his head to watch TV, read books and watch TV at close distances, or blink frequently, you need to take care of him as soon as possible. The child goes to a professional eye hospital for relevant examinations.
