How to prevent juvenile myopia from deepening?
With the progress of science and technology and the change of education methods, the incidence of myopia among adolescents is rising, which poses a huge threat to their health. As a professional ophthalmic hospital, Guangzhou Huangpu, the Optometry Department of Sun Yat sen University, has accumulated rich experience in preventing juvenile myopia from deepening. This article will elaborate on how to prevent juvenile myopia from deepening from the following four aspects.
Adjust the learning environment
The deepening of juvenile myopia is related to long-term close eye use. First of all, students should develop a good habit of using their eyes. Every 30 minutes, they should carry out 5 minutes of overlooking and eye relaxation exercises, such as closing their eyes to rest and rotating their eyes. Secondly, the school should reasonably arrange courses and work and rest time to prevent students from using their eyes continuously for too long. In addition, the distance between students' desks and blackboard should meet the standards of ophthalmology to reduce eye fatigue.
In addition, the light of students' eye environment is also very important. Because the eye load is large, the lighting in the classroom should be bright and stable, and attention should be paid to avoid dazzling light that directly shoots the eyes. The equipment in the classroom should also pay attention to the brightness and contrast settings of the screen to reduce the fatigue of the eyes on the screen.
In a word, the negative effect of long-term close eye use on teenagers' vision can be alleviated by adjusting students' learning environment.
Reasonable eye use
Reasonable eye use is an important link to prevent myopia from deepening. Teenagers should follow the following principles: first, keep the correct eye distance, and do not excessively close to books or screens; Secondly, the eye use time should not be too long, and each eye use should be timely rest; In addition, it is necessary to maintain a good posture of using the eyes, and avoid overexertion by lowering the head or staring at the eyes; Finally, when using eyes at close range, adjust the sight distance and angle appropriately to reduce the force of eyes.
Parents and teachers also play an important role. Parents should guide teenagers to conduct reasonable eye use behavior, correct bad eye use habits in a timely manner, and limit the time for long-term close eye use. Teachers in schools should regularly publicize and educate students about correct eye use methods and knowledge.
Keep good living habits
Teenagers' living habits also have an important impact on the prevention of myopia. First, keep enough sleep time to help the recovery of the eyes and the healthy development of the visual nerve. Lack of sleep at night can easily lead to eyestrain and visual dysfunction.
Secondly, reasonably arrange the time for after-school activities and encourage teenagers to participate in outdoor sports, such as running and ball games. Outdoor activities help to relax the eyes and increase the chances of seeing far, which has a positive effect on alleviating eyestrain and preventing myopia from deepening.
In addition, a balanced diet is also very important for the protection of eyesight. Foods rich in vitamin A, C, E, etc., such as carrots, citrus fruits, nuts, etc., are beneficial to the health of retina and lens.
Regular eye examination
Finally, regular eye examination is a necessary link to prevent juvenile myopia from deepening. In this way, the changes of myopia can be found in time and corresponding prevention and control measures can be taken. As a professional ophthalmic hospital, Guangzhou Huangpu, Department of Ophthalmology and Optometry of Sun Yat sen University, has advanced equipment and rich clinical experience, which can provide teenagers with comprehensive and accurate ophthalmic examinations and personalized prevention and control programs.
Summary
To sum up, in order to prevent juvenile myopia from deepening, we can start from four aspects: adjusting the learning environment, using eyes reasonably, maintaining good living habits and regular eye examinations. Among them, schools, parents and students themselves need to work together to form a good atmosphere for the whole society to pay attention to young people's vision health. Through the comprehensive application of these measures, we are expected to effectively reduce the incidence of myopia among adolescents and ensure their healthy vision growth.
