  Many parents call and ask, “Our child is 10 years old and went for a true myopia test the other day, how can I get rid of myopia?” For us, we would love for our children to be myopia-free and keep their eyes healthy, but for various reasons we can’t guarantee our children’s right to eye health. So parents are urged to start preventing myopia for their children from an early age. Tianjin Aier Eye Hospital pediatric eye disease specialty to explain how children should prevent myopia.  For children who are studying, it is very important to have adequate lighting.  First, the light should not be too strong, not directly on the books. The greater the contrast between the brightness of the lighting light and the work surface, the easier it is to cause vision fatigue; Second, the lighting light should come from the left, more softly, to avoid shadows caused by hands or head blocking the light, affecting vision; Third. It is not advisable to study in dim light, poor local lighting methods seriously affect vision; Fourth, do not read and study in turbulent light, unstable light sources will cause more vision fatigue.  Poor lighting is not the main cause of myopia, but we can prevent myopia from this aspect.  The correct posture for reading and writing is the main task of adolescents. It is well documented that reading and writing at too close a distance can play a decisive role in the formation of myopia. However, many parents worry about children reading and learning fatigue, allowing children to lie down or lying down to read books. This is not correct. When reading and writing should pay attention to the angle of the book and the line of sight. When the plane of the book and the line of sight at right angles, the image formed on the retina is the clearest, the eyes are also the most comfortable. If the book is placed on the horizontal desktop, reading must be bowed forward to form close to the right angle, which is easy to cause tension in the neck muscles and back spine fatigue, and can not maintain a reasonable distance. Therefore, the desktop is best not counted as having a slope of 12 ° to 15 °. So that the head is straight, not only to maintain the correct posture, but also to make the image more clear.  In short, the distance between books and eyes when reading and writing, and the angle between books and vision are closely related to the formation of myopia, which should attract the attention of parents and teenagers.  Eye care exercises are very important Because of the many courses and homework for young students, in order to complete homework and exams, more than ten hours a day to read and write, the line of sight is bound within the near distance, coupled with the lack of eye health knowledge, ciliary muscle over-regulation for a long time, began to cause regulatory spasm, the formation of pseudomyopia, over time, it has turned into true myopia, and some have developed into high myopia. So read a book for a long time, interval 40-50 minutes to take a break, can look out of the window, can also do eye exercises, closed eyes massage around the eye points, mental relaxation, can achieve the purpose of eye protection.
