Many children use mobile phones, computers and other electronic products for a long time, coupled with insufficient outdoor exercise and irregular work and rest schedules
Bad habits such as incorrect reading and writing posture ......
Causes the child's vision to quietly turn on a red light.
So, as the winter vacation is approaching, as a parent, what can you do for the prevention and control of myopia in your children?
How to prevent and delay the growth of myopia in children?
To prevent myopia in children, parents can do this:
1.Lead by example, protect your eyes.
The role of parents in leading by example cannot be overlooked. First of all, it is necessary to establish the basic concept of myopia "preventable, controllable, correctable, and unavoidable". Parents do not do "mobile phone control", "TV control" and "computer control", but try to accompany them as much as possible at home, carry out interactive activities with their children, and go outdoors with their children and get close to the sunIt is recommended to spend no less than 2 hours outdoors in the sun every day, myopia children and adolescents are recommended to be longer.
2.Cultivate children's good eye habits and master the correct posture of holding the pen.
A good pen grip posture has a very positive effect on the prevention of myopia in children. When the child's pen holding posture is incorrect, it is not only easy to get tired of the hand, but also block the vision, affect the child's vision development, and may even cause strabismus. The correct posture for holding the pen is to keep your thumb and index finger in touch.
3.Guide your child to use eye distance.
Close eye use is a high risk factor for myopia in adolescents, and it is necessary to maintain a good reading and writing posture. The closer your eyes are to electronic devices such as mobile phones or televisions, the more harmful they are to your eyes. Therefore, parents should pay close attention to the distance, time and posture of their children's eyes, so that their children can reduce unnecessary close-up eyes.
This is not only referring to electronic devices, but also drawing, puzzles, writing, and everything else that can lead to the close proximity of the eyes. Use electronics wisely, control the amount of time, and grasp the principle that the smaller the screen, the more harmful it is. Therefore, when children need to watch cartoons or have the need to go to class, don't show your children ipads if you can watch TV, and try not to show your children mobile phones if you can show them iPads.
4.Regular check-ups to prevent and control myopia scientifically.
To scientifically prevent and control myopia, it is recommended to consult a professional doctor and choose prevention and control measures suitable for children under the guidance of doctors. Parents should also take the initiative to learn the knowledge of myopia prevention and control, and improve their ability to identify pseudoscience in myopia prevention and control.
8 signs of myopia in children to be vigilant!
1.Squint at things.
When you notice that your child often squints when he reads books or watches TV, you should consider that he may have early myopia. This is because the eyelids can block part of the pupil when you squint, which reduces the scattering of light, which can temporarily improve and improve your vision.
2. Look at things and tilt your head.
Tilting your head to see objects can reduce the impact of scattered light on your vision, so some babies tilt their heads to see things in the early stages of myopia. Parents should pay attention to taking their children to the hospital to check their eyesight, and correct the wrong posture of looking at objects, so as not to make them develop the habit of tilting their heads.
3. Blink frequently.
When children can't see clearly, they blink frequently, because frequent blinking can alleviate myopia to a certain extent and increase the clarity of vision.
4. Love to rub your eyes.
When our eyes are uncomfortable, we will rub our eyes to prevent us from seeing clearly, but if our children often rub their eyes, we should be wary of myopia.
5. Strabismus. When a child's vision in one eye deteriorates rapidly, they will start to use the other normal eye, and some children with myopia will also have strabismus. Therefore, when a child often squints his eyes to see things, it is also a sign of myopia.
6 frowned. Frowning is a way for people to try to improve their vision, but frequent frowning will cause the extraocular muscles to compress the eyeball, which will stimulate the eye muscles in reverse and accelerate the formation of myopia. When you notice that your child is frowning a lot, take him to the hospital for a vision check.
7. Pull the corners of your eyes.
Some babies often pull the corners of their eyes outward with their hands after suffering from myopia, because doing so can have the same effect as tilting their heads and squinting. Therefore, a child's frequent tugging of the corners of the eye is also a red flag for myopia.
8. Abnormal behavior.
If your child suddenly drops grades, has trouble concentrating in class, does not write neatly when doing homework, or becomes grumpy or even tired of school;Becoming less likely to greet people, being irritable easily, and not getting along well with children can be a warning sign of myopia.
All in all, parents are the first responsibility and the most important line of defense to prevent and control children's myopia. The prevention and control of myopia requires long-term cooperation between parents and children, and correctly guides children to use their eyes rationally and scientifically. Let's work together to take care of children's eyes and let them have a bright future!
