What should children do if they are nearsighted?

I had my eyesight and teeth checked in the kindergarten yesterday, and I went to pick up the children in the afternoon. I saw that the child's vision test table said (myopia tendency). I expected the result of this exam long ago, because I had less control over my children and more time to watch TV and computer during the holidays. I think this should be the reason why my children are prone to myopia. The mother of another child in my class saw me and told me that the child was nearsighted. What should I do? I also want to say a few words about this problem.

Many children have problems such as frequent blinking, true myopia or deepening myopia, which is not unrelated to the rise of electronic products such as iPad and iphone. Visual formation is an interesting process. When a child is born, the eyeball is almost round, and the adjustment ability of the lens and ciliary muscle of the eyeball is poor. After the parallel light passes through the refractive system, the image falls behind the retina, showing hyperopia. Around the age of 4, the child's vision is just in the process of orthomorphism, and gradually develops from hyperopia to orthomorphism. After that, the child's vision development tends to be perfect. If you have bad habits during your development, your myopia will advance.

"So, the child is still in the development stage, and the physiological structure is not fully developed. The contraction ability of muscles and pupils that control eyes closing is not as good as that of adults, and they are more prone to visual fatigue than adults. The electronic screen is a direct illuminator, and the picture is bright. The flashing screen is irritating, and this accumulation of fatigue can easily make children nearsighted. "

"In the past, children were generally nearsighted after 7 years old. Nowadays, children of two or three years old are nearsighted, mostly because of excessive use of mobile phones and computers. " An ophthalmologist said that myopia is becoming more and more serious. Nowadays, parents put their mobile phones and computers in front of their children in order to let them be quiet for a while, so many nearsighted children are caused by playing mobile phones and iPad.

What are the precursors of myopia?

Careful parents know that the occurrence of myopia is also traceable and harbinged. For example, things are always sequential and fuzzy.

Squinting: When you can't see the distant target clearly, children often take the method of squinting to make up for it, because when squinting, the eyelids can block some pupils, reduce scattered light and reduce the influence of astigmatism, thus temporarily improving and improving vision.

Blinking: Blinking often can relieve myopia and increase vision clarity to some extent. Many people can see things more clearly when they are in tears.

Rubbing your eyes: When you can't see the target clearly, you often rub your eyes with your hands in an attempt to see it better.

Tilting your head: It often happens that you tilt your head to watch TV, because tilting your head can reduce the interference and influence of some scattered light, and some children even develop the habit of tilting your head.

Frown: To frown in an attempt to "force" the eyes to improve their eyesight. But in fact, it is because the extraocular muscles press the eyeball and accelerate the development of myopia.

Eye-pulling: when a few children can't see the distant target clearly, they often pull the skin of the corner of the eye outward with their hands to achieve the effect of tilting their heads and squinting.

Complaint: Some children will complain that the classroom is too dark because of their unstable eyesight, or they can't see clearly because of the reflection of the blackboard. Many children also say that their eyesight is poor after self-study at night.

Parents should go to an eye hospital or outpatient clinic as soon as they find that their eyesight is declining. If it is not particularly high, they can wear orthokeratology glasses to correct it.

Preventive measures should first cultivate children's good hygiene habits from an early age.

1. Cultivate their correct reading and writing posture, and don't lie prone on the table or twist their bodies. The book and eyes should be square, the body should keep a fist (adult) distance from the desk, and the hand should keep an inch distance from the pen tip. The desks and chairs in the school should fit the students' figure.

2, reading and writing time should not be too long, after 30-40 minutes should have a rest 10 minutes. Look far, see more green plants and do eye exercises. Nowadays, the distance between handheld devices and computers is similar to reading and writing, so we should also pay attention to the use time. )

3, writing and reading should have proper light, and the light is best irradiated from the left side. Don't read or write in too dark or too bright light, so as to reduce the burden on students, ensure the break 10 minutes, and reduce visual fatigue.

4. Actively carry out physical exercise to ensure that students have one hour of physical activity time every day.

5, teach students to write, not too small and too dense, not oblique, cursive. Don't take too long to write.

6. Do eye exercises seriously.

7. When watching TV, pay attention to the height and line of sight level; The distance between the eyes and the screen should not be less than 5 times the diagonal length of the screen; When watching TV, turn on small lights indoors, which is beneficial to protect your eyesight; After watching TV for 30 ~ 40 hours, you should take a short rest, watch far and do eye exercises.

8. Eat more foods rich in vitamin A, all kinds of vegetables, animal livers and egg yolks. Carrots contain vitamin B, which is good for eyes; Eating more animal liver can cure night blindness.

Myopia patients generally lack chromium and zinc. Myopia patients should eat more foods with high zinc content. Foods such as soybean, almond, laver, kelp, mutton, yellow croaker, milk powder, tea, meat, beef, liver and so on contain more zinc and chromium, which can be increased appropriately. It is best to take protein zinc for zinc supplement. Eat less food with high sugar content.

Prevention and treatment of myopia should be graded, and early attention should be paid to small ones. Actively correct and prevent further development. If myopia has occurred, you should go to the hospital for optometry and wear appropriate glasses. Pseudomyopia can be corrected by far fog vision, massage or crystal exercises, physical therapy, drugs and other methods.

Playing badminton and table tennis can prevent myopia. In the process of playing, the eyes must quickly follow the trajectory changes of flexible "small ball sports" such as badminton and table tennis, which has unexpected benefits for children aged 5-9.

Introduce some daily methods to prevent and adjust myopia.

1, distance adjustment method: you can look at the distant view first, and then look at the close view. This method has the function of regulating eye muscles and relaxing. Look at the details of the tree as much as possible when observing.

2, sunbathing method: when the weather is good, close your eyes and face the sun, let the light pass through the eyelids and stimulate eye cells. We nearsighted people are very sensitive to light and will squint or squint when exposed to strong light. Doing so can improve our eyes' ability to receive light.

3, hand rubbing method: palm fever, rubbing your eyes, doing it repeatedly, but also relaxing your eyes, very comfortable. This action can be done anytime and anywhere.

4, eye movement method: sitting or standing, eyes first look straight ahead, and then the eyes move up and down, left and right, so that the eyes stretch in all directions as far as possible, and stay in all directions for a few seconds. When we are nearsighted, we will find that our eyes are deformed. This method can adjust our eyes back to normal shape and help restore their focusing ability.

5, counting method: at night, when there are stars in the sky, count the stars, use your eyes to find the stars, but you can't always stare at a star, so your eyes will be tired.

6, blinking method: blink more, blinking can relieve eye fatigue, this is to be done at any time.
