1、 Reasonable eye use time
Eyes are an important tool for children to learn and live. Correct eye use time is crucial to children's eye health. First of all, parents need to pay attention to the children's close eye use time. Too much close reading of books, TV, mobile phones and other electronic products will make the eyes in a state of adjustment for a long time, which is easy to lead to fatigue, myopia and other problems. Therefore, parents should reasonably arrange the time for children to look at objects at close range, and should carry out a long view or eye exercises every 30 minutes or so.
Secondly, children's outdoor activities are also a good way to protect their eyes. Adequate outdoor light and wide vision can effectively reduce the occurrence of myopia. Parents should encourage children to participate in outdoor activities, such as ball games and mountain climbing, to promote the development of hyperopia. At the same time, children should avoid looking directly at the sun when the sun is strong, so as to avoid eye damage.
In addition, the time for children to use electronic products also needs to be reasonably controlled. The damage of electronic screen radiation and blue light to eyes cannot be ignored. Parents should formulate regulations to limit the time children use electronic products to no more than 30 minutes each time, and insist that children use screen goggles to reduce direct contact between eyes and the screen.
2、 Good eye environment
Children's eye environment at home and school is very important to eye health. First, parents should provide bright and stable light for their children. Too dark light will cause difficulty in adjusting eyes, and too bright light will easily cause eye fatigue. Therefore, parents should ensure that children's eyes are bright and soft when they study and live, and avoid direct exposure to the eyes.
Secondly, keeping proper indoor humidity is also good for children's eye health. The dry indoor environment is easy to dry the surface of the eyes, causing pain, itching and other symptoms. Therefore, parents should always ventilate and keep the indoor humidity between 40% and 60%, which is conducive to the normal metabolism of eye tissues.
In addition, parents should pay attention to prevent children's eyes from being stimulated and injured. Keep away from harmful gases such as smoke and soot at home, and try to avoid using cosmetics and toiletries that irritate the eyes. Children should wear appropriate protective glasses when they are outdoors to prevent dust, flying sand, etc. from entering the eyes and causing injury.
3、 A nutritionally balanced diet
Good eating habits play an important role in the development and health of children's eyes. First, food rich in vitamin A is the guarantee of eye health. Parents can provide children with carrots, pig liver, eggs and other foods rich in vitamin A to help maintain the normal function of the retina. In addition, fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin C and E are also good for eyes, such as citrus fruits, tomatoes, spinach, etc.
Secondly, children also need an appropriate amount of protein and trace elements, such as zinc, selenium, etc. These nutrients play an important role in the development of eye tissue and the normal function of visual cells. Parents can provide children with fish, dairy products, beans and other foods rich in protein and trace elements to maintain eye health.
In addition, parents should also pay attention to avoiding children's unhealthy eating habits such as overeating and food preference. Poor eating habits will lead to unbalanced nutrition and affect children's physical development and eye health.
4、 Regular eye care
Regular eye care is vital to children's eye health. Parents can take their children to the Maternal and Child Eye Hospital for eye examination on a regular basis. The doctor will check the child's vision, eye structure and fundus, and find and deal with various eye problems in a timely manner. In addition, doctors will also give targeted eye care advice according to the specific situation of the child to help parents take care of children's eye health correctly.
In addition to regular medical examinations, parents can also carry out simple eye exercises in daily life. For example, parents can teach children to do eye movement exercises, eye closure massage exercises, etc., to promote blood circulation and relax the eyes.
To sum up, how can parents properly take care of children's eye health, including reasonable eye use time, good eye use environment, nutritionally balanced diet and regular eye care. Only paying attention to these aspects can effectively protect children's eye health and prevent eye problems.
