The pleasant winter vacation is coming to an end, how is your winter vacation life? Online classes, playing games, watching TV, long, uncontrolled use of eyes, and lack of enough outdoor activities, are children's eyes okay?
Surveys show that during the winter vacation, many children use electronic products uncontrollably, coupled with unhealthy eye habits, more than 60% of primary and secondary school students experience vision loss during the holidays.
Therefore, Pu Haisheng, vice president of Huaihua Aier Eye Hospital and director of optometry, reminds you that children will face heavy learning tasks after the start of school, and myopia may deepen faster. Before school starts, be sure to take your child for an eye check-up!
Check the farsightedness reserve.
When the child is not nearsighted, it is necessary to check the farsightedness reserve. We need to check regularly to see if your child's farsightedness reserve is sufficient.
Check the truth and false myopia.
When you just find that your child can't see clearly, you should check whether it is true or false myopia. If the wrong glasses are fitted, it can cause your child's myopia to become real. To distinguish between true and false myopia, it is necessary to see whether the child's prescription is still myopic after dilated eye refraction.
Check the risk of becoming highly myopia.
When a child is already nearsighted, the risk of becoming highly myopic should be investigated. If your child is already nearsighted and has one of the following conditions: a family member has high myopia, or has started myopia before school age, or if the myopia is growing too fast, it is important to pay special attention because they may be at high risk of high myopia. Scientific myopia control methods should be adopted to prevent children from developing high myopia.
Check for complications of high myopia.
When the child is already highly myopia, it is necessary to check the fundus regularly to screen for complications related to high myopia, such as glaucoma and retinal detachment. Because the eyeball of people with high myopia is like a balloon that has been blown up, and the retina is similar to the balloon wall that is compressed and becomes very thin, it is prone to serious eye complications such as retinal detachment, such as blindness if not timely.
Establish a refractive development profile.
What should I do with my child's eyesight? We need to go to a professional ophthalmic medical institution to establish an exclusive "refractive development file" for the child, get an eye "ID card" for the child, and regularly check and track the child's vision dynamics, so as to provide an important basis for doctors to take personalized prevention and control measures.
Family is the main battlefield for myopia prevention and control, and parents are the gatekeepers of children's myopia prevention and control. Develop good eye habits, and do a good job in myopia management "four checks, one file" to protect the bright future of children.
