It’s great that more and more children are joining the ranks of reading. The interest is strong, the habit is there, there is another thing we can not ignore, that is the prevention of myopia. The task of learning is very hard, a healthy body is even more guaranteed. How much inconvenience will there be when you put on glasses early, the hardworking parents know the pain of it best. Quickly pay attention to, develop good eye habits. Relevant data show that the overall incidence of myopia among Chinese teenagers is more than 50%, and about 80% in high school. In recent years, the trend of myopia in Asian countries is also very obvious. For the prevention and control of children’s myopia, many mothers and fathers have their own set of ideas: some of the beginning of the school year to let the teacher more care to sit in the front row, some worry about the deepening of the child’s degree of choice not to wear glasses, there are also made out of acupuncture and massage method to correct the child’s vision …… However, these have a broad “mass base However, these have a wide “mass base” of prevention and control concepts seem to be very useful, in fact, the child’s eyesight is not beneficial. Myth 1: Myopia is not a big problem, go to the optical store with glasses is good After the discovery of the child myopia, many mothers and fathers of the first reaction is to take him to the optical store with glasses. However, most eyeglasses stores are not well-equipped and will directly omit the binocular vision check. Unbeknownst to them, this is the essence of optometry. Only through binocular vision examination can we find out the real cause of myopia in children, even if the same 100 degrees of myopia, the results of binocular vision examination are different, and the prevention and treatment methods are also different. Especially for children and adolescents with myopia, binocular visual function examination can identify the causes of myopia and its deepening, make accurate prediction of vision development, and then choose appropriate myopia prevention and control programs. Myth 2: If you don’t wear glasses, your myopia won’t go up Many parents are reluctant to give their children glasses in order to control the growth of myopia because they are worried that their children’s myopia will skyrocket if they wear glasses. However, will myopia not deepen without glasses? Whether your child needs glasses depends on whether he or she has true myopia or pseudomyopia. If it is false myopia, you can rest and sleep or dilate the pupils to restore vision; if it is true myopia, but has not been wearing glasses, not timely correction of refractive error, will lead to eye fatigue more easily, the number of degrees will grow faster. Therefore, when you find that your child has vision problems, parents should take your child to a professional eye doctor as soon as possible and get glasses according to the situation. Does wearing eyeglasses mean that the prescription will not increase? Not necessarily. Children at this stage of the learning task is mostly heavy, and the eyeball is developing, the eye axis is lengthening, the degree of increase is very likely. Therefore, wearing glasses is difficult to make myopia decrease, can only try to do myopia increase slow, or no longer increase. Myth three: a variety of therapies can cure myopia Once a child suffers from myopia, many parents will blindly use a variety of methods to help their children, such as acupuncture, massage and the use of a variety of therapeutic equipment. In fact, many of the methods and instruments used to treat myopia can be counterproductive if they are not properly applied. In fact, true myopia is irreversible and can only be corrected to improve visual acuity, and at present, myopia correction has been proven to be effective only two ways to wear glasses and surgery. Myth 4: Myopia can be cured in a short period of time In order not to affect the child’s learning, some parents in the child suffers from myopia, always like in the winter, summer vacation for its treatment of myopia. Many unscrupulous businessmen are also precisely to take advantage of this psychological parents, claiming that a certain method or instrument can cure myopia in a month or even a dozen days, resulting in many parents being deceived. In fact, the prevention and treatment of myopia is a long-term process, any short-term surprise treatment is impossible to cure myopia. In addition, the prevention and treatment of myopia in children must be done from the age of five or six years old, until the age of 20 or so to stop, because at this time people’s eye axis has stopped developing, myopia is generally not further development. Myth 5: wear glasses do not have to review many parents in the child with glasses, will no longer take him to the hospital to do a checkup, and this is another misunderstanding of the mothers and fathers. Clinical practice confirms that teenagers are necessary to check their eyesight regularly. On the one hand, it can clarify whether myopia has continued to develop, and on the other hand, it can also know whether the glasses currently worn are suitable for the child, because wearing unsuitable glasses is also harmful. Therefore, parents should take their myopic children to the hospital for check-ups frequently after they have put on glasses, at least once a year, so as to keep abreast of the changes in their condition. In addition, parents of school-age children who are not suffering from myopia should also take them to the hospital for eye examination frequently. This is because school-age children with normal vision may also lose their vision if they do not use their eyes in a scientific way. Myth 6: Myopia should sit in the front row of the classroom In the classroom, children’s seats are mostly arranged according to their height, with shorter children sitting in the front and taller children sitting in the back. However, many parents want their nearsighted children to sit in the front row, believing that they can listen better and see the words on the blackboard more clearly. In fact, the front rows of classrooms are the hardest hit by myopia, and are more likely to be nearsighted than those seated at the back of the room. If students always sit in the first row or the second row and face the blackboard for a long period of time, it is easy to develop myopia. At the same time, children with slight myopia sitting in the front row, more likely to lead to a deepening of the degree of step by step and not be noticed. Myopic students should not sit in the front row, sitting 5 meters to 6 meters from the blackboard is the best position. It is important to note that if the child is pseudomyopia, deliberately adjusted to the front row, but may become true myopia. In addition, even if the eyes are not myopic for a while, it is best not to sit in the front row for a long time. It is far more important to prevent problems from arising than to solve them. Nearsightedness in children is never formed in a day or two, but is the result of bad habits accumulated over a long period of time. Therefore, both parents and children should develop good eye habits, otherwise it is difficult to return to normal once myopia. First of all, we should strictly control the time of eye use, every 45~60 minutes to rest 10~15 minutes. During the rest time, you can relieve eye fatigue by looking into the distance or closing your eyes. Secondly, maintain the correct sitting posture during eye use. Whether reading or playing electronic products, should not be too close. Finally, take your child outdoors more often to take a break, see the green, long-distance eye use is very helpful to vision yo.
