China has more than 30 million amblyopic children, and the number of myopia is the highest in the world, and the rate of increase is 8% per year, with the majority of the growing population being 10-12 year olds. We have done a large scale population survey and found that the urban 10 year olds (4th grade) start to lose vision and have a high prevalence of myopia, while the rural 11-12 year olds (5th-6th grade) have a high prevalence of vision loss and myopia. Because the youth eye is not yet developed, heavy learning tasks, eye irregularities, most likely to lead to myopia sharply deepened, light 300-400 degrees, heavy 1000 degrees, such vision and refractive state will lead to blurred vision, inconvenience, serious retinal detachment, blindness, not to mention that it will affect the latter stages of learning, college entrance, professional selection, employment and even choice of spouse. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to eye health and care for eyesight, starting from teenagers and even more so from children. But how to take care of our eyes? Some people think that it is enough not to look at anything, some think that it is enough to eat everything, and others let children see more three-dimensional paintings and look farther, etc. There are many different opinions. Today, we are here to talk in detail and standard with you about how to protect the eyes of children. A, eye care, from a young age, newborn babies have a weak sense of light, with the development of 1, 2, 3 months of age, infants can gradually see 1 finger, 1 foot, 1 meter objects, small babies have a light nature, then from infancy parents should pay attention to more natural light during the day, less lights, lights on at night, normal light, not too bright, do not turn on the lights after bedtime. 1 year old before the baby do not let look at cell phones, computers, TV and LEDs and other bright light.
