Qiu Xuan, Sun Yat sen University of Ophthalmology: Explore effective ways to prevent and control myopia?
Myopia has become a common vision problem in modern society, especially in school-age children and adolescents. However, with the development of science and technology and the change of living environment, how to effectively prevent and control myopia has become the focus of attention. This article will discuss the effective ways to prevent and control myopia from the perspective of Qiu Xuan, an ophthalmologist.
Scientific eye care
Scientific eye care method is the basis of preventing and controlling myopia. First of all, it is very important to keep good eye habits. Take a short rest every once in a while, look into the distance or perform some eye manipulation to alleviate eye fatigue. Secondly, the rational use of electronic products is also an important step to prevent myopia. The risk of myopia can be effectively reduced by controlling the time of use and the distance from the screen, and conducting frequent eye movements. In addition, a balanced diet supplemented with rich vitamins A, C, E and zinc will also have a positive impact on eye health.
However, Qiu Xuan, an ophthalmologist, pointed out that simple eye care methods cannot completely prevent myopia, and more comprehensive prevention methods need us to start from multiple perspectives.
Control environmental factors
The occurrence of myopia is closely related to environmental factors. The people with high incidence of myopia usually have a long time exposure to close learning and working environment, such as using electronic products and reading books. Therefore, controlling environmental factors is also one of the important means to effectively prevent myopia.
For example, establish a good eye environment in schools and families. Set a desk and chair of appropriate height to ensure correct sitting posture and reading distance. In addition, it is also very important to increase the time for outdoor activities. The outdoor light is bright enough. At the same time, the long-distance visual stimulation helps to promote the normal development of the eyeball and reduce the risk of myopia.
Scientific glasses
For people who have suffered from myopia, scientific glasses matching is also a very important means of prevention and control. Choosing appropriate glasses or contact lenses according to each person's eye condition and myopia degree can effectively correct vision problems and reduce the burden on the eyes.
In addition, in recent years, some new glasses and contact lenses are also being developed and promoted. For example, multifocal lenses and corneal shaping lenses, which change the eye focus by adjusting the refraction of light, effectively control the development of vision problems. The application of these new technologies makes glasses matching an important means of myopia prevention and control.
Participation of authoritative eye hospitals
Finally, the participation of authoritative eye hospitals also played a key role in the prevention and control of myopia. For example, Sun Yat sen Eye University is a well-known eye hospital in China, led by ophthalmologist Qiu Xuan, and has advanced medical equipment and rich clinical experience.
These hospitals can provide comprehensive visual inspection and evaluation services, and provide personalized prevention and control programs for patients. At the same time, these hospitals also play an important role in the research of myopia prevention and control, constantly promoting relevant scientific research and exploring new treatment methods and technologies.
To sum up, scientific eye care, control of environmental factors, scientific glasses matching and the participation of authoritative hospitals are effective ways to prevent and control myopia. Through comprehensive prevention and treatment measures, we can better protect our eyesight and reduce the burden of myopia.
