The eyes are the windows to the soul and one of the most important perceptual organs of human beings. On the occasion of the Lantern Festival and the beginning of the school season, the Care for Bright Public Welfare Action and the Department of Ophthalmology of Qingpu District Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine presented a unique opening gift to the students - the "Little Ophthalmologist" science popularization experience activity, so that children can become "little ophthalmology doctors", explore the mysteries of the eyes first-hand, and enhance the awareness of eye care in practice.
On the day of the event, students came to sign in and change their costumes. A unique pot throwing game was also prepared at the scene, which not only had the excitement of the new year, but also tested the students' eyesight. The scene was lively and interesting.
After all the students finished dressing, Director Yao of the Department of Ophthalmology first brought an interesting lecture on eye health to parents and children, helping them understand the structure of the eyes and the causes of myopia, and establish a correct concept of myopia prevention and control. Secondly, Dr. Xu of the Department of Ophthalmology also popularized the application of traditional Chinese medicine in the prevention and control of myopia to the students, and everyone also started eye exercises on the spot.
Subsequently, everyone came to the eye examination instrument together, and the "little ophthalmologist" wearing a white coat officially "took up his post". Under the guidance of the medical staff, the children were interested in conducting eye examinations for their parents, parents and other children, such as eye examination, refraction test, and interpupillary distance measurement. The children were amazed to see their big eyes clearly from the optometry for the first time, and they not only understood the principle and process of eye examination, but also understood the importance of eye protection. Some parents said: "Teach your children thousands of times, it is better to take your children to experience it firsthand." Activities like this allow children to learn the correct use of their eyes and understand them through interactive experiences, which is very rewarding for both parents and children. ”
Subsequently, the doctor also organized the children to participate in a scientific eye knowledge competition in groups to help them consolidate the knowledge they had learned. Many children have been able to fluently talk about the causes of myopia, prevention and control measures, and some children can count the damage of electronic products to their eyes, and at the same time propose ways to use electronic products reasonably. Recently, the Care for Bright Public Welfare Action is committed to jumping out of the traditional form of science popularization and integrating creative science popularization activities, so that children and adolescents can truly master the habit of eye care in practice and daily life. This event is the first activity of Qingpu District Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital at the beginning of the year, and the activity will continue, and it is hoped that more children and young people will actively participate.
