Causes of high myopia rate in young people
In recent years, with the development of science and technology, the myopia rate of young people has shown a trend of rapid growth, which has become a global problem. Statistics from Wuhan Zhongnan Eye Hospital show that young people account for a large proportion of myopia patients. So why is the myopia rate of young people high? We can discuss it from the following aspects.
First of all, long-term close eye use is one of the main reasons for the high myopia rate of young people. With the rapid development of information technology, the lifestyle of young people has also undergone tremendous changes. Many people watch TV, computers, mobile phones and other electronic products for a long time, and their eyes are in the state of using eyes at close range for a long time, which leads to overexertion of the eyes, which leads to myopia. At the same time, overuse of eyes can also lead to eye fatigue and vision decline, which aggravate the development of myopia.
Secondly, the lack of outdoor activities is also an important reason for the high myopia rate of young people. In modern society, many young people rely excessively on electronic products, stay at home for a long time and lack outdoor activities. Lack of outdoor activities will not only lead to decreased physical function and immunity, but also have adverse effects on eye health. Outdoor activities can help to change the visual focus, promote the relaxation of eye muscles, reduce the glare response of the eyes, and thus reduce the risk of myopia.
In addition, the incidence of myopia is also related to genetic factors. Ophthalmologists point out that a large part of myopia is caused by genetic factors. If a person's parents or close relatives have myopia patients, then his own risk of myopia will also increase. Therefore, whether young people will become myopic is also related to their family's genetic background. The interaction of genetic factors and environmental factors makes the myopia rate of young people show a higher trend.
Early prevention and control of myopia
In view of the high myopia rate among young people, Wuhan Zhongnan Eye Hospital has provided some early prevention and control programs to help young people better protect their eyesight and prevent myopia.
First of all, attention to eye hygiene is one of the basic measures to prevent myopia. When young people use electronic products, they should keep proper eye distance and angle to avoid long-term eye use and eye fatigue. At the same time, pay attention to eye hygiene, wash hands frequently, do not rub eyes, and prevent eye infections and other eye diseases.
Secondly, increasing outdoor activity time is also an important means to prevent myopia. Young people should try to reduce their dependence on electronic products and increase their outdoor activities. Outdoor activities can help adjust the visual focus, alleviate the fatigue of eyes and reduce the risk of myopia. At the same time, attention should be paid to eye protection during outdoor activities, such as wearing suitable sunglasses to avoid eye damage caused by glare.
In addition, regular eye examination is also the key to prevent and control myopia. Young people should go to the eye hospital regularly to have their eyesight checked, so as to find out and correct vision problems in time. Early detection and treatment of myopia can effectively control the progress of myopia and avoid the increasing degree of myopia.
Myopia prevention and control in Wuhan Zhongnan Eye Hospital
In order to deal with the problem of high myopia rate among young people, Wuhan Zhongnan Eye Hospital actively carried out myopia prevention and control. The hospital has set up a special research team for myopia prevention and control to carry out research on the causes of myopia and explore prevention and treatment measures. At the same time, the hospital also carried out publicity and education activities on myopia prevention and control, to popularize the harm of myopia and prevention and control knowledge to the public, and improve the public's awareness of protection.
In addition, Wuhan Zhongnan Eye Hospital has also introduced advanced ophthalmic equipment to provide a variety of technologies and operations for myopia treatment, such as corneal plastic lens, laser corneal correction, etc. The team of ophthalmologists in the hospital has rich experience and can provide personalized treatment plans according to the specific conditions of patients, so as to help young people better control the development of myopia.
Summary
The high rate of myopia among young people is a global problem as well as a social problem that needs to be solved urgently. Through analysis, we can find that long-term close eye use, lack of outdoor activities and genetic factors are the main reasons for the high myopia rate of young people. In response to this problem, Wuhan Zhongnan Eye Hospital proposed a plan for early prevention and control of myopia, including paying attention to eye hygiene, increasing outdoor activity time, and carrying out eye examinations regularly. At the same time, the hospital also carried out relevant scientific research work and publicity and education activities to improve the level of myopia prevention and control. It is hoped that through these efforts, the myopia rate of young people can be reduced and the national eye health level can be improved.
