How to prevent children from suffering from amblyopia in Guangzhou
Amblyopia is a common eye disease, especially in children. In Guangzhou, due to the accelerated urbanization process, children are faced with more and more electronic screens and the increase of close eye use time, so it is particularly important to prevent amblyopia. This article will elaborate on how to prevent children from suffering from amblyopia in Guangzhou from the following four aspects.
Outdoor activities and eye exercises
Outdoor activities and eye exercises are very important for children's eye health. Outdoor activities can provide sufficient natural light, gently stimulate the retina and macular area, and help visual development. Arrange 30 minutes to 1 hour of outdoor activities every day, such as playing football, running or playing other outdoor games, to help prevent amblyopia.
Eye exercises are a simple and effective method of eye exercises. Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Hospital recommends children to do eye exercises for about 5 minutes twice a day. Eye exercises, including eye movement, visual distance adjustment and eye massage, can promote the blood circulation of the eye, enhance the strength of the eye muscles, and effectively prevent amblyopia.
In addition, Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Hospital reminded parents that when children use electronic equipment, they should make a visual inspection every 20 minutes away from the screen to help relax their eyes and prevent eye fatigue.
Control of reasonable eye use and close eye use time
It is very important to use eyes reasonably and control the time of using eyes in close proximity to prevent amblyopia. Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Hospital recommends that children use their eyes at close range for no more than 1 hour every day, and take a rest every 30 minutes to stay away from visual load. In addition, a moderate amount of close eye activities such as reading and painting are of positive significance to visual development.
Parents should guide children to maintain good eye habits, such as maintaining correct sitting posture and distance, and maintaining a good reading environment. At the same time, avoid making children sit or look at the electronic screen for a long time to prevent myopia and amblyopia.
Regular eye health examination for children
Regular eye health examination for children helps to find and treat possible visual problems as soon as possible, and prevent amblyopia. Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Hospital recommends that parents take their children for an eye health examination every year, especially before entering school. The doctor will conduct a comprehensive examination of the child's vision, eye movements and fundus conditions, find out whether there are amblyopia and other problems in time, and provide corresponding treatment suggestions.
Scientific diet and good living habits
It is also important for children's eye health to scientifically allocate diet and maintain good living habits. Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Hospital recommends parents to provide their children with rich nutritional foods, such as eggs, carrots and other foods rich in vitamin A and protein, which will help visual development and protect the eyes. In addition, children should keep enough sleep time to avoid staying up late and eye fatigue.
In a word, Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Hospital emphasizes the importance of preventing amblyopia, advocates outdoor activities and eye exercises, reasonably uses and controls the time of close eye use, conducts regular eye health examinations, and scientifically allocates diet and maintains good living habits. These measures will help reduce the risk of children suffering from amblyopia in Guangzhou and protect their eye health.
