Youth myopia is a disease caused by modern life, in ancient times it is impossible to happen, not to mention the ancient times when there was no book, even if there is a book, are quill characters, a good big one, will not be nearsighted. Since the emergence of the pen, modern printing appeared, myopia is becoming more and more. At present, children’s homework heavy, reading and writing too long, resulting in our high school students myopia rate at 70-80%, so this is not simply, your child does not listen to the problem, this is a social problem, or even a historical development. 1, teenagers myopia deepening how to do? Many parents are very helpless and depressed, their children’s myopia continues to deepen, glasses after glasses, the degree is still long and long. Parents hope to find other effective ways to stop the aggravation of myopia, so parents turn to traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture, and ear patches, which are expensive and have uncertain efficacy. So let’s start by understanding why teenagers are nearsighted? Most people have what we call axial myopia, which is the slow lengthening of the eye axis due to prolonged near vision. Although most of our readers have never studied medicine, let’s say that if your hands are longer than average, can we find a medicine to take that will shorten your hands? And no other part of the body is affected. Medicine is not that advanced. Therefore, the methods of herbal medicine, acupuncture and ear patches are methods that have not been agreed upon by the medical community. We remind you, don’t waste your money and toss your child. So, what should I do if my child is nearsighted? The right way is to prevent it at the cause. Since too much close gazing can be myopic, if we avoid too much and too close, we will reduce or stop the development of myopia. How long is the right amount of time for teenagers to read a book? Each of our classes is 45 minutes, and this time is more appropriate, so after class you must not read anymore, go out and have some fun and let your eyes relax. The same goes for homework when you get home in the evening, 45 minutes to an hour and then take a break. Children usually don’t know how to stop on their own, parents go to interrupt him, give him a glass of water, send some fruit, let him walk around a little, in short, let the eyes stop looking at things at close range, the eyes are relaxed. Avoid being too close everyone knows that the eyes are a foot away from the book and the sitting posture should be standard. The key is to keep your eyes a foot away when writing homework. Another thing is that every year during the summer vacation, parents will find that after a summer vacation, their children’s glasses have grown in prescription. What happened during the summer vacation? The child is unsupervised and home with grandparents. So too much time is spent watching TV, maybe all day, and the child sits too close. It’s not hard to say, if the child can do this, he or she won’t be nearsighted, and if he or she is already nearsighted, it won’t develop. However, it is harder to do. I hope that children and parents work together. 2. How should my child’s glasses be correctly fitted? In general, we say that glasses are for children to be able to see 5 meters away, in order to achieve clear vision at a distance, in other words, to see the words on the blackboard and on the TV, so they need to be worn for class and brought for watching TV. Because the teacher writes something that the students must see, they need to remember; TV must also see clearly, otherwise the story will not be able to read. But when walking, it doesn’t matter if we can’t see the face of the person 5 meters away from us. So it is up to the child to decide whether to wear glasses when walking. When writing homework, it is not necessary to bring glasses because it is a position to see a foot away. Wearing the opposite is not good, the child instead needs to use the adjustment to see the book, a long time is to eye fatigue. But with myopia aggravated, when myopia reaches more than 300 degrees, near is not clear, then glasses need to be worn throughout the day. However, in study sessions or after coming home from school, when you have to look at books for a long time, it is recommended to wear the original small-degree glasses. For example, if your child is now 500 degrees, when writing homework, wear glasses that are about 300, maybe 1-2 years old. So we generally remind parents that the original glasses are not enough, do not lose them, keep them for the future. Of course, now there are students with glasses, look closer, the degree of reduction of about 250 degrees, this design is better. 3. Is it possible not to wear glasses? In the clinic, I often see some mothers who don’t want their children to wear glasses, they are very worried that they can’t take them off after wearing them. So they don’t want their children to wear them. They send their children to herbal medicine and acupuncture for months, but it doesn’t work and the money is spent. Or some mothers simply do not allow their children to wear glasses. This approach is very unscientific. The child is nearsighted, see far is not clear, and parents do not let wear glasses, so look at the blackboard? Borrow a classmate’s glasses, or leave the seat to go forward, often, the teacher will not allow. The result is that you can’t see, and that grade will definitely suffer. So, this kind of mother’s practice, I do not agree. The child is nearsighted, we have to face this kind of problem, can not subjectively do not like, not to help the child treatment. Doctors believe that frame glasses are the best treatment, because it is a correction of the lens, a physical method, without damage. As for, whether they can be taken off, after the age of 18, the child can opt for myopia surgery and the mirror is taken off. If, 2 children are nearsighted in the 3rd grade, 2 children are not very obedient, reading and writing posture are not well corrected, one promptly wears glasses, and one does not wear glasses, but moves forward in the seat, by the 6th grade. The child who wears glasses may have grown from 50 degrees to 350 degrees, but the child who doesn’t wear glasses may have grown from 50 degrees to 550 degrees. In other words, children who don’t wear glasses, because they can’t see well, will overuse regulation, creating a vicious cycle that makes myopia more aggressive. Therefore, I remind such parents that they should not decide whether their children wear glasses based on their own preferences.
