The winter vacation is over, are your baby's eyes okay when school starts? See a piece of news,After staying at home for a month during the winter vacation, the child's myopia soared by more than 400 degrees. In fact, there will be such news every time the winter and summer vacations are over. Although the holiday temporarily bid farewell to the intense study, the baby's eyes were not idle at all. Winter vacation hot search topicWinter vacation with eyes strange behavior awards, which truly reproduces the strange eye state of the bear children at home during the winter vacation. Look at these strange postures, are they exactly the same as our baby? 
Many parents are accustomed to these behaviors of the baby, but they don't know that it is our negligence, and the child's eyes have reached the edge of myopia. For example, our sister, like to read reasoning**, almost addicted during the winter vacation, spending more than ten hours a day in the book, even reading the meal break, and even turning off the light to let her go to bed early, this bear child secretly hid in the quilt to read e-books with his mobile phone, pushed open the door and saw the light shining in the quilt, this scene is too addictive. 
In recent days, I have been rubbing my eyes, blinking, and I like to squint when I look at things. The old mother had a bad premonition, and hurriedly took it to Aier Eye Examination near her home, and as expected, the right eye was 75 degrees, and the left eye was 25 degrees. The doctor emphasized that although there is no need to wear eyes, it is necessary to improve eye habits and do more relevant visual training to relax the eyes. Regular check-ups are also required later, and if there is a degree of myopia in the examination, and the eye axis has also increased, it may be necessary to wear glasses. Many parents are also worried about meHow do you save your child's eyes? Is there any good way to do it? With this question, I specially consulted the experts of Aier Ophthalmology, and I also got a very detailed answer from the doctor. Today, I will talk to you about the prevention and control of children's myopia, and I hope that mothers can be good gatekeepers for children's myopia prevention and control. 
Many mothers may be curious, what is the magic of the winter vacation, which is so damaging to the baby's vision? According to the big data on the eye behavior of Chinese children and adolescents released by the Aier Institute of Optometry of Central South UniversityThe length of time spent at home during the holidays, the behavior of using the eyes, and the environment of using the eyes are far worse than those during the school period. 
To sum up, there are actually two reasons - frequent bad eye behavior at home and too few outdoor activities. Especially during the winter vacation, when the weather is cold, children prefer to stay at home compared to outdoors, which is more likely to become a "period of soaring myopia". We can think of the child's eyesight as a time account, unreasonable use of eyes = withdrawal, outdoor time = recharge. During the winter vacation, children frequently withdraw money and do not recharge, and the account balance will naturally become negative (myopia). Therefore, "myopia management" during this period has become particularly important. In my experience with many parents, only if the child is nearsighted, will he go for a check-up and get a pair of glasses. It was only after Aier ophthalmologists and I popularized science that I realized that this idea was wrong. In fact, when the child's vision is not myopia, it is necessary to start scientific "management". How do you manage it? Here borrowed from Aier OphthalmologyMyopia management "four checks and one file"., give you some dry goods You can compare your child's vision development stage to find solutions to the problem, there is the most convenient way at the end of the article, it is recommended to collect and see. 
If your child is not nearsighted, there is one indicator to focus on"Farsighted reserve".。What is a farsighted reserve? Newborn babies have a shorter eye axis (eye length) than adults, and are in a state of farsightedness, which is the so-called "farsighted eye". As we age, the degree of hyperopia gradually decreases, and it develops into an emmetropic eye. These farsightedness degrees are known as the "farsightedness reserve". Therefore, once the child's "farsightedness reserve value" is depleted too quickly or overdrawn excessively, below the lower limit corresponding to age, he is in the danger of myopia! 
Many parents think that after their children enter primary school, they need to have more eye needs before they need to have an eye examination. Not reallyOphthalmologists suggest that children should be regularly taken to regular professional eye hospitals for refractive screening from the age of 1 to monitor farsightedness reservesIn this way, we can take corresponding measures in time, so that children can achieve "no myopia" and "late myopia"! 
If your child is like my sister, and suddenly says that he can't see clearly, likes to squint or rub his eyes, don't take it directly to the optical store for glasses, so it is likely that his myopia will "come true"! Myopia is also true and false, both of which are vision loss in manifestation, so it is easy to confuse. In fact, pseudomyopia is not real myopia, but the fatigue of the eye muscles (ciliary muscles) caused by the child's excessive use of the eyes, excessive tension, and decreased accommodative function, resulting in inability to see clearly, which can be adjusted and recovered by relaxing the eyes. 
How to identify "true and false myopia"? Dilated refraction is the "gold standard" for distinguishing between true and false myopia, the doctor will use a cycloplegic agent to relax the eye accommodation and then perform medical refractionThis kind of optometry can only be done in regular hospitals.
It is not terrible for children to be myopia, but it is terrible to develop high myopia. Our father is a highly myopic person, and in addition to seeing everything like a layer of blur filters, there are many "taboos". The whole family went to the playground, and we wanted to challenge the roller coaster, jumping machine and other exciting projects, but he couldn't; Diving, bungee jumping, paragliding and other sports, he has never been able to experience in his life; He did not dare to participate in sports such as football and basketball, which may hit his eyes, for fear that one would accidentally cause retinal detachment. Therefore, if the child is already nearsighted, what we need to do is to control it scientifically to avoid becoming highly myopia. WhileIf your child falls into these three categories, the risk of becoming highly myopic will be greater, and you should be more vigilant!
How to control the growth of myopia? It's not just as simple as wearing a pair of glasses at random, you have to go to a professional eye hospital and take a personalized approach. Like orthokeratology lenses and defocus lenses, they are currently more effective control methods, and the specific ones that are suitable must be followed by the doctor's instructions.
When a child's myopia reaches more than 600 degrees, it is already highly myopia. From ordinary myopia to high myopia, it is not just a deeper degree, but a qualitative change, and serious lesions will occur in the fundus.
The human eye is like a balloon, and the bigger the balloon blows, the thinner the balloon wall becomes. Our retina is a transparent film attached to the inner wall of the eyeball, and as the eye axis gets longer and longer, the retina will also be pulled to become thinner, and if you are not careful, there will be a risk of tears, detachment, and even blindness. It's really not to create anxiety here, but I want to tell everyone that you must pay attention to it!! Moreover,The incidence of eye diseases in people with high myopia is significantly higher than that in other groups.
If the baby has become highly myopia, arrange a fundus examination at least once a yearto check for complications of high myopia in the child's eyes. For example, some people may have a local tear in the retina, and in this case, surgery can be performed to avoid the tragedy of blindness.
Children's vision management is like fighting monsters, there is another level after playing one level, and there is no way to do it once and for all. Parents are the first responsible persons for the prevention and control of children's myopia, and the effectiveness of children's myopia prevention and control depends on parents' cognition. I have always believed that professional people do professional things, and the prevention and control of children's myopia, which requires professional blessings, is still left to professional institutions and ophthalmologists.
Aier OphthalmologyNot only innovation is presented scientificallyMyopia management "four checks and one file".Ideas, in 2023, alsoIt has been awarded a series of certifications such as "China's No. 1 Orthokeratology Lens Fitting (Cumulative More than 1 Million Cases)" and "China's No. 1 Medical Optometry Prescription Medical Institution (Cumulative More than 10 Million Cases)" by Sullivan, a world-renowned multinational market consulting company. It is also the organizer of the 19th World Myopia Congress (IMC) in 2024, which can be called the "Olympic Games" in the field of global myopia, which shows the professional authority and international strength of Aier Ophthalmology in the field of myopia prevention and control in children and adolescents.
What we parents should do is to take their children for regular check-ups, establish refractive development files for children as soon as possible, and supervise children's vision development for a long time, so that children's vision development is under control.
The new semester is about to begin, and it is recommended that you take your child for a comprehensive vision examination to keep abreast of your child's eye health. Once abnormal vision is found, take further prevention and control measures in time!
