How to detect myopia in children at an early stage?

  Myopia is an eye disease in which people have blurred vision of distant objects due to excessive eye axis or refractive power. In recent years, myopia has become one of the most prevalent eye diseases among children in China, and the disease is gradually developing at a younger age. Since myopia can cause a lot of inconvenience in life, it can also easily cause blindness such as retinal detachment and macular degeneration, so people should pay great attention to this disease. For this reason, ophthalmologists remind parents that when you find your child has one or more of the following symptoms, you should consider whether he or she has early myopia and take him or her to the hospital for an examination as soon as possible to avoid delaying treatment: 1.

Therefore, when your child is squinting a lot, you should consider that he or she may have early myopia.  Frequent blinking: Frequent blinking can, to some extent, relieve myopia and enhance vision. Therefore, when your child has frequent blinking symptoms, you should consider whether he or she has early myopia.  3. Frequent eye rubbing: Some children who have difficulty seeing objects because of myopia often rub their eyes with their hands in order to see objects better. Therefore, when you find your child rubbing his eyes often, you should take him to the hospital for a vision check.  4, often tilting the head to look at objects: Some children with early myopia often tilt their heads to look at objects. This is because tilting the head to look at objects can reduce the impact of scattered light on their vision. Therefore, when you find that your child often tilts his head to look at objects, be sure to take him to the hospital to check his vision, and to correct his wrong posture to look at objects, so that he does not develop the habit of tilting his head.  5, often frown: Some children with myopia have the habit of frowning. This is a way for them to try to improve their vision. But frowning often makes the extraocular muscles press on the eye, which in turn will speed up the development of myopia. Therefore, when you find your child often frowning, take him or her to the hospital for a vision check, and help him or her to change the problem of frequent frowning.  6, often pull the corner of the eye: a few children suffering from myopia, often pull their eyes with their hands to the outside, because this can appear with a tilted head, squinting the same effect. Therefore, when you find that your child has the habit of pulling the corner of his or her eyes, take him or her to the hospital to have his or her vision checked in a timely manner.  7, often squint when looking at things: Some children with myopia often have the habit of squinting (i.e., when one eye looks forward, the other eye will involuntarily look outward). Therefore, when you notice that your child has the habit of squinting, you should consider whether he or she has myopia.  When your child always looks close to the object, or complains about the darkness in the room when reading or writing, consider that your child may have myopia.  When your child often does not greet people he or she knows, trips or bruises when moving in the dark, or cannot see the writing on the blackboard, consider whether your child has myopia.
