Definition and causes of myopia
Myopia, also known as myopia, is a common vision problem. People with myopia can see objects near clearly, but they can see objects far away indistinctly. The main reason for myopia is that the light of the eye is focused in front of the retina rather than directly on it, resulting in the inability to clearly show distant objects.
The pathogenesis of myopia is closely related to heredity, environment and living habits. Family heredity is a major factor of myopia. If both parents have myopia, the risk of children suffering from myopia will increase significantly. In addition, long-term myopia with eyes, due to the lack of fixation and adjustment of distant objects, is also likely to lead to myopia.
In order to prevent and treat myopia, we need to take a series of correct measures and maintain good living habits.
Maintain correct eye posture and habit
Myopic patients should maintain correct eye posture and habits. First, keep the correct eye distance. When reading, keep the distance between the book and the eyes at 35-40 cm, and when using electronic products, keep the distance between the screen and the eyes at 50-60 cm.
Secondly, pay attention to eye rest. Every 40 minutes of work requires a 5-10 minute break to take a look at distant objects and relax your eyes. In addition, blinking often also helps to keep your eyes moist and clean.
Finally, keep a good reading posture. Keep your back straight when reading, and avoid continuously lowering or raising your head for a short time.
Control eye use time and adjust lighting reasonably
Overuse of eyes can easily lead to eye fatigue and myopia. Therefore, we should limit the time of eye use and avoid long-term continuous eye use. After reading or using electronic products for a long time, you should rest your eyes properly to protect your eyesight.
In addition, it is also important to adjust the lighting reasonably. Keep good indoor light conditions and avoid too strong or too weak light. In outdoor activities, you can wear appropriate sunglasses to effectively reduce the damage of ultraviolet rays to your eyes.
Control of eye use time and reasonable adjustment of light will not only help prevent myopia, but also alleviate eye fatigue and protect eye health.
Regular eye examination and vision training
Regular eye examination is one of the important measures to prevent and treat myopia. Regular inspection can timely detect changes in myopia and take corresponding treatment measures. Ophthalmologists can develop personalized treatment plans for patients by examining the structure and function of the eyes.
Vision training can help improve the adjustment function of the eye and delay the progress of myopia. Vision training can include focusing on distant objects, far and near contrast training, eye movement training and other methods. Vision training needs to be carried out under the guidance of professionals, and personalized training programs should be carried out according to individual conditions.
summary
The prevention and treatment of myopia requires various efforts and measures. Maintaining correct posture and habit of using eyes, controlling the time of using eyes and reasonably adjusting light, regular eye examination and vision training can effectively prevent the occurrence and progress of myopia. If you have myopia, early treatment can also slow down the progress of myopia and improve vision.
