How to prevent children's myopia
Eyes are an important tool for children to learn and grow. In recent years, the problem of children's myopia has become increasingly serious. Guangzhou Zhongshan Children's Eye Hospital, as a hospital specialized in treating children's eye diseases, actively advocates and promotes the prevention of children's myopia. In order to help parents and children correctly prevent myopia, we will elaborate on how to prevent children's myopia from the following four aspects.
Reasonable eye use
First, rational eye use is one of the important measures to prevent children's myopia. Parents should guide their children to observe the correct eye posture. The distance between the eyes and the book should be kept at more than 30cm to avoid excessive fatigue after using the eyes for a long time. When using electronic products, pay attention to the distance between the eyes and the screen, and control the use time. Secondly, we should develop a good habit of using our eyes, look into the distance every 30 minutes, and relax the eye muscles. In addition, outdoor activities are also an effective way to reduce the risk of myopia. Activities in the sun can help children adjust the focus of far and near sightedness and reduce the possibility of myopia.
Second, keeping a good writing posture is also an important part of preventing children's myopia. Correct sitting posture, book angle and eye distance can reduce the strain and fatigue of eyes and reduce the risk of myopia.
Third, moderately control the degree of myopia. If the child has been diagnosed with myopia, the doctor will give the corresponding degree according to the vision condition. Parents should take their children to check their glasses regularly according to the doctor's advice to avoid the increasing degree and reduce the risk of deepening myopia.
Keep nutrition balanced
First, balanced diet is one of the important factors to prevent children's myopia. Foods rich in vitamin A, such as carrots and animal livers, help to enhance visual function. In addition, antioxidants such as vitamin C and E can also protect the health of eyes.
Second, control the intake of sugar and fat. High sugar diet and high fat diet will lead to increased inflammatory reaction in the body, which will affect the health of the eyes. Therefore, parents should avoid giving their children too much candy, snacks and other high sugar foods, and choose healthy fat sources, such as fish and other foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids.
Third, supplement proper amount of nutrients needed by the eyes. Vision care is also recommended when children are in a state of tension with their eyes for a long time. Dr. Ya's Children's Vision Care Essence is a product recommended by Guangzhou Zhongshan Children's Eye Hospital. It contains a variety of trace elements and antioxidants, which can effectively nourish the eyes, improve fatigue and dryness, and help prevent myopia.
Good vision protection
First, the indoor lighting should be properly bright. Too strong or too weak indoor lighting will have a negative impact on the eyes, which is easy to cause eye fatigue or myopia. Therefore, parents should pay attention to providing suitable lighting environment for their children.
Second, the rational use of electronic products. Long term use of electronic products can easily lead to overuse of eyes and increase eye pressure. Therefore, parents should control the time their children use electronic products, and let their eyes rest for 10 minutes every 40 minutes or so.
Third, regular eye examination. Children's vision and eye health will change with age, so regular vision and eye examinations can identify problems as early as possible and prevent them effectively.
summary
Children's myopia is a global problem, and the prevention of myopia is the most important solution at present. Guangzhou Zhongshan Children's Eye Hospital actively advocates reasonable eye use, nutrition balance, good vision protection and other measures to provide children with all-round eye protection. Parents should also actively participate in and guide children to develop good eyesight protection habits, so as to lay a good foundation for children's eye health.
