How to protect children's eyes from injury?

In modern life, the widespread popularity of electronic products has caused more and more injuries to children's eyes. In order to protect the healthy growth of children's eyes, we need to start from the following aspects.

Control the time of using electronic products

Excessive use of electronic products will cause great damage to the eyes. The blue light of the screen will stimulate the eyes, and looking at the screen for a long time will lead to eye fatigue, dryness and decreased vision. Therefore, parents need to set a reasonable use time so that children can properly rest their eyes after using electronic products.

In addition, children should be provided with other activities to guide them to put down electronic products and participate in outdoor activities, such as sports and reading, so as to distract attention and reduce the burden on eyes.

Keep proper eye distance

Children should keep a proper eye distance when using electronic products. Generally speaking, it is better to be 20-30cm away from the screen. Too close or too far will cause adverse effects on the eyes.

Parents can help their children maintain proper eye distance by setting appropriate table and chair heights and adjusting the angle of the screen. At the same time, children should be taught to develop good eye habits, not too close to the screen, nor too far away from the screen.

Maintain sufficient indoor light

Good indoor light is very important for the development and protection of children's eyes. Keep sufficient indoor light at home to avoid eye irritation caused by too dark or strong light. In addition, it is also necessary to avoid the environment where light and shade alternate frequently, so as not to cause excessive visual stimulation to the eyes.

At the same time, attention should be paid to avoiding the electronic product screen and light source directly shining on the child's eyes. You can reduce the damage to the eyes by adjusting the angle and position of the light.

Regular eye examination

It is an important link to protect children's eye health to take them to professional children's eye hospitals for eye examinations on a regular basis. Ophthalmologists can find and solve potential eye problems in a timely manner by checking children's vision, eye position, intraocular pressure and other data.

At the same time, doctors can also give targeted protection suggestions according to the child's eye conditions, such as wearing appropriate goggles, using appropriate eyedrops, etc. Regular eye examination can find and treat eye problems as early as possible, and ensure the healthy growth of children's eyes.

summary

In order to protect children's eyes from injury, parents need to start from the following aspects: control the time of using electronic products, maintain appropriate eye distance, maintain sufficient indoor light, and conduct regular eye examinations. Only by comprehensively considering these factors can we truly guarantee the healthy growth of children's eyes.
