How to understand children's eye health?

In the healthy growth of children, eye health is a very important part. However, because children's eyes are often difficult to self reflect problems, parents need to pay special attention to and understand the state of their eyes. In order to help parents better understand and care about children's eye health, Guangzhou Zhongshan Children's Eye Hospital is committed to providing comprehensive children's eye services. The following will introduce how to understand children's eye health from different perspectives.

The importance of ophthalmic examination for children's eye health

Correct understanding and timely inspection of children's eyes is the first step to protect their eye health. The professional ophthalmologist of Guangzhou Zhongshan Children's Eye Hospital reminded parents that it is best to take their children to the hospital for eye examinations on a regular basis, especially when the children are not at preschool age, because eyes develop most rapidly in this period.

Ophthalmic examination can include comprehensive observation and testing of children's vision, eye movement, eye position, eyelid, etc. Through these examinations, doctors can accurately understand the health of children's eyes, and find and deal with potential problems as soon as possible.

In addition, ophthalmic examination can also help children choose suitable glasses, contact lenses and other visual aids to prevent further aggravation of eye problems.

Family observation to find eye problems in time

In addition to regular eye examinations, parents can also learn about their children's eye health through daily observation. The focus of family observation includes the child's vision, whether the eye appearance is abnormal, whether the eyelid is swollen, and so on.

First of all, parents can observe children's behavior changes. If they frequently rub their eyes, blink or tilt their head to look at objects, it may mean that children's eyesight is affected.

Secondly, parents should also pay attention to the appearance of children's eyes, such as whether there are congestion, excessive tears, conjunctivitis and other symptoms, which may be signs of eye problems.

Finally, parents should also observe the pupil size and response to light of the child. Abnormal pupil size or response may indicate potential eye disease.

If the above problems are found, parents should take their children to Guangzhou Zhongshan Children's Eye Hospital for professional diagnosis and treatment.

Pay attention to eye hygiene and protection

Maintaining good eye hygiene and protection is essential for children's eye health. Parents need to educate their children about correct hygiene habits, such as frequent hand washing and avoiding eye rubbing, to reduce the risk of eye infection.

In addition, parents should also pay attention to the children's eye environment. Myopia, long time use of eyes and frequent use of electronic equipment will cause certain burden to children's eyes. Therefore, parents should guide children to adjust their eye use time reasonably and pay attention to vision protection.

In addition, outdoor activities are also very important to protect children's eye health. Outdoor activities can help children to use their eyes far away, promote the exercise and adjustment of eye muscles, and thus prevent myopia.

Summary

Through eye examination, family observation, eye hygiene and protection, parents can better understand the health of children's eyes, and timely find and deal with potential eye problems. Guangzhou Zhongshan Children's Eye Hospital, as a professional eye hospital, provides comprehensive children's eye services, provides parents with professional eye care suggestions and treatment programs, and helps protect children's eye health.
