June 6 is the 14th national “Eye Care Day”, this year’s theme is “attention to youth eye health”. The reporter learned in an interview yesterday that if you don’t pay attention to eye protection as a child, it will leave hidden dangers for future myopia. There are also some unhealthy methods of eye use among the public, which can lead to eye diseases.  ”Love life as much as your eyes, love your eyes as much as you love your life.” This was the first thing Wang Hua said to the reporter when he interviewed the executive director of the Optometry Center of Hunan Provincial People’s Hospital yesterday. But the current trend of myopia among teenagers is getting younger and deeper. Nowadays, teenagers are under an unprecedented eye load, and the eye care during the student years is still only at the stage of a set of eye exercises, which is not supplemented by other ways according to the actual situation of teenagers nowadays, which shows that the society is far from paying enough attention to the problem of teenage myopia.  There are many factors for the emergence of myopia in teenagers at a younger age, except for some of them due to the genetic predisposition of parents with high myopia, most of them are due to the involvement of teenagers in various preschool classes and tutorials before school, coupled with computer games, TV shows and movies flooding their daily lives, leading to a premature increase in the load of children’s eyes. In addition, improved living standards and early physical development are also important causes of premature myopia in adolescents.  With the modernization of society, the incidence of myopia is increasing, and myopia has become one of the most prevalent eye diseases in the world today. According to information, there are about 5 million blind people, 6 million people with low vision, and 10 million children with strabismus. The prevalence of myopia among our youth is as high as 50% to 60%. The myopia rate among college students is well over 80%.  It is understood that a recent survey conducted by the National Steering Group for the Prevention of Blindness and ophthalmologists from Beijing Tongren Hospital on 3489 students in six primary and secondary schools in the suburbs of Beijing showed that only half of the students with poor vision, who account for 53% of the total number, had been fitted with glasses, while only 42.1% of them insisted on wearing glasses.  Myopia without glasses is actually a degree, and if it exceeds a threshold, it will have lifelong effects on the child. Director Wang said, from the point of view of eye health general 100 degrees below the slight myopia can not need to wear glasses, but the premise is to look at the blackboard eyes do not fatigue. When myopia reaches a certain level, you should wear glasses.  Wearing glasses will make the degree deeper and deeper?  But some students and parents worry that wearing glasses will make the prescription deeper and deeper, and some are afraid that once they wear glasses they won’t be able to take them off. In fact, this concern is unfounded, and completely unnecessary, wearing frame glasses is still the most effective way to correct refractive errors. In addition, experts point out that the majority of teenagers myopia is simple myopia, as long as you pay attention to eye hygiene, and timely wear glasses to correct, can completely control the development of myopia. Wearing glasses is not only convenient for daily study and life, but can also control the development of myopia to a certain extent. If you don’t wear glasses, the blurred retinal imaging can accelerate the development of myopia, if you wear a pair of suitable frame glasses, you can make the blurred retinal imaging clear, which not only brings convenience to your life and study, but also can control the development of myopia to a certain extent.  The prevalence of myopia among Chinese teenagers is as high as 50-60%, and the number of people wearing glasses is over 300 million nationwide, ranking first in the world. The trend of myopia among students is getting younger and deeper. The concern for adolescent eye health cannot be ignored.  Nowadays, teenagers are under an unprecedented eye load, and the eye health care for students is still only at the stage of a set of eye exercises, which is not supplemented by other methods according to the actual situation of teenagers nowadays, which shows that the society is far from paying enough attention to the problem of teenage myopia.  Excessive eye use is the main cause Excessive eye use is an important factor in the rising incidence of myopia among teenagers. Long study hours, long continuous eye time and short sleep time (two long and one short); more extracurricular homework, more exams and less time for extracurricular activities (two less and one less) increase the burden on the eyes, and modern life also increases the burden on the eyes, especially when operating computers, watching TV and playing video games for a long time, which leads to adaptive changes in the eyes due to excessive eye use and eye fatigue – myopia. Myopia.  Although the etiology of myopia is still not clear, there are certain rules for myopia to be followed. For example, pathological myopia and congenital myopia are often related to genetics, while simple myopia is often related to environmental factors and eye habits. Other factors, such as physical fitness, nutrition, and disease, are also important factors in the formation of myopia. The causes of myopia are complex and there are many factors that influence it. The main factors are broadly classified as genetic, environmental and nutritional factors.
