Congenital myopia is a common eye disease caused by an intrinsic defect in the human gene that causes the eye to not focus properly, making distant objects blurry. The disease usually begins to develop in childhood and gradually worsens over time.
Congenital myopia is a hereditary disease, which is distinct from acquired myopia in that it is clearly related to the myopia of the parents. Studies have found that if one parent is nearsighted, the risk of myopia increases by 2 to 3 times;If both parents are nearsighted, the probability of myopia in the child will increase by 4 to 5 times. Therefore, if a parent or other family member in the family is already suffering from myopia, children should pay attention to their eye health and do a good job of prevention and prevention in time.
The pathogenesis of congenital myopia is mainly related to human genetics. Studies have shown that the inheritance pattern of myopia involves multiple genetic factors, including common monogenic genetic lesions and complex genetic susceptibility loci. These genetic factors can affect the growth and development of the eyeball, causing the eye to become excessively long and cause problems with light focus. In addition, environmental factors such as the lifestyle of myopic families, eye habits, and long-term close eye use will also play a role in the onset of congenital myopia.
Pregnant women can cope with congenital myopia during pregnancy in the following ways:
Maintain a healthy lifestyle: Pregnant women should focus on eating a sensible diet rich in vitamins, minerals and nutrients. At the same time, it is necessary to pay attention to regular work and rest, and avoid staying up late and using your eyes at close range for a long time.
Effective control of the genetic risk of myopia: For pregnant women with a family history of myopia, genetic counseling and genetic testing can be considered. Know your genetic background and take reasonable precautions based on the advice of your medical professional.
Pay attention to eye hygiene: Pregnant women should pay attention to proper rest and eye protection in their daily life. Avoid staring at screens for long periods of time, engage in moderate outdoor activities, and avoid exposure to eye irritants such as harmful substances and radiation.
Regular eye examinations: Regular eye examinations at the ophthalmologist for early detection of myopia problems and appropriate interventions.
It is important to note that although pregnant women can take the above methods to appropriately reduce the risk of congenital myopia, genetic diseases cannot be completely eliminated. Once the child is born, if there is a myopia problem, the child should be taken to a professional medical institution for examination and ** as soon as possible. For example, Mengying Ophthalmology is a professional institution focusing on the prevention and control of myopia in adolescents, and it is a more professional institution and brand in the ranks of comprehensive vision prevention and control for adolescents.
To sum up, congenital myopia is an eye disease caused by genetic inheritance. Pregnant mothers should pay attention to a healthy lifestyle, effectively control the genetic risk of myopia, pay attention to eye hygiene and have regular eye examinations. These methods can help reduce the risk of congenital myopia and lay a good foundation for your child's eye health. However, if the child is diagnosed with myopia, parents should still actively cooperate with the doctor** and take corresponding measures in time.
