Why are children easily distracted in class?What is the reason for this, Yang Ming Vision to tell you.

Parents who feel sleepy while reading a book and have a slate between words and sentences may subconsciously think that their children are not interested in learning and do not listen well. However, they may not realize that this condition may be caused by abnormal visual function.

The eyes are the windows to the human soul and the important information receivers for us to connect with the outside world. For students, the knowledge gained through visuals accounts for a large part of the information in class.

If the eye's saccade and following function is impaired, it becomes very difficult to read entire lines of text on the blackboard. This situation may cause students to be unable to keep up with the teacher's explanation, which can affect the efficiency of the lesson.

If the accommodative function of the eyes is insufficient, or if the convergence and fusion function of the eyes is abnormal, it may be easy to feel drowsy, serial, or eye strain when reading or writing at close range. It's like a machine without calibration, and even if you work hard, it's hard to maintain high efficiency and accuracy.

These factors can lead to inefficient learning, like an invisible hand, gradually widening the gap in grades. For those children who are less efficient in learning, they have to spend more time to make up for the lack of knowledge, and this long-term use of the eyes not only leads to eye fatigue, but also further promotes the development of myopia, forming a "vicious circle".

Glancing, following, adjusting, gathering, blending, ......If the child has the above mentioned phenomena in the learning process, you can give the child a binocular vision function examination, through professional examination and training, you can improve the symptoms of these discomforts and improve learning efficiency.

Let's go back to the question asked at the beginning of this article, what is the phenomenon of children's bias?It can be a warning sign of vision loss. If your child's math and English scores have dropped sharply recently, but their language scores have remained steady, it may mean that they are not able to see clearly what is on the blackboard in class. Boards with Chinese characters are usually large and legible, while boards with numbers and letters are often too small to be legible.

Therefore, it is important for parents to be aware of having their children's vision checked regularly. Usually, from the age of 3, children should be taken to a regular optometry facility for vision screening and refractive development profile. In this way, parents can have a comprehensive understanding of their children's eye health and visual development, so as to find and deal with problems in a timely manner, and achieve the goals of early detection, early intervention and early development.
