The significance of myopia prevention and control
Myopia, also known as myopia, is a common eye disease. It will not only bring trouble to our vision, but also may lead to serious eye diseases such as retinal detachment, retinal holes, cataracts, etc. Especially in the current digital era, the number of myopia patients is increasing. How to effectively prevent and control myopia is of great significance.
Correct eye posture
The first step of myopia prevention and control is correct eye posture. First of all, we should maintain a good sitting posture, maintain a proper distance between sight distance and books, and reduce the fatigue of myopic muscles. Secondly, pay attention to blink, and look at the distance for 10-20 seconds every 20 minutes to alleviate eye fatigue. Finally, avoid staring at the electronic screen for a long time, take a break of 10-15 minutes every 1-2 hours, and overlook for 10-20 minutes. These habits will help slow down the development of myopia.
In addition, attention should be paid to adjusting the eye environment. Avoid excessive darkness or strong light stimulation, maintain moderate lighting, and avoid seeing bright screens or lights. Keep a good reading environment and avoid reflection and glare when reading to reduce eye fatigue.
Scientific diet and health care
For the prevention and control of myopia, scientific diet and health care are equally important. First, it is necessary to ensure adequate intake of nutrients, such as vitamin A, C, E, etc. Vitamin A can maintain the normal physiological function of the retina, while vitamin C and E have antioxidant effects and help prevent eye aging. In addition, minerals such as zinc and copper are also vital to eye health.
In addition, we should pay attention to the reasonable planning of diet structure, and appropriately increase the intake of sea fish, shrimp skin, animal liver and other foods. The rich unsaturated fatty acids such as DHA and EPA can promote the development and health care of the retina. In addition, eating more foods rich in cellulose, such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains, will help prevent eye diseases.
Regular eye examination
Regular ophthalmic examination is an important link in the prevention and control of myopia. Early detection of changes in myopia can take timely measures to prevent myopia from deepening. It is recommended to have a comprehensive ophthalmic examination at least once a year, including vision examination, intraocular pressure measurement, fundus examination, etc. For children and adolescents, more attention should be paid to regular eye examinations, and appropriate vision correction measures should be selected under the guidance of doctors.
The above comprehensive prevention and control measures can effectively reduce the incidence of myopia and slow down the development of myopia. However, everyone's eye condition is different, and individual suggestions and guidance are still needed for myopia prevention and control. Therefore, when choosing prevention and control methods, it is best to consult a professional ophthalmologist and formulate a scientific prevention and management plan according to the specific situation of individuals.
Summary
The Department of Ophthalmology of Guangzhou Zhongshan Second Hospital has provided scientific and effective methods to prevent myopia by providing suggestions on myopia prevention and control. Proper eye posture, scientific diet and health care, regular eye examination and other comprehensive prevention and control measures can help people reduce the incidence of myopia and slow down the development of myopia. However, everyone's eye conditions are different, and they need individualized advice and guidance. Therefore, doctors' guidance is very important in the prevention and control of myopia.
