This is beneficial to children who are studying, and can make parents/teachers pay more attention to their physical and mental health, not just to strive for grades. After all, there are too many nearsighted children now, and some even wear glasses when they are three or four years old.
My best friend's son is only 4 years old and is in kindergarten. At the beginning of this year, he was diagnosed with myopia. When he is equipped with glasses, he must correct his eyesight in time. He has a friend, whose daughter is only 7 years old and has been wearing glasses for two years. And this kind of situation is everywhere. There are many reasons for children's myopia, including congenital genetic factors, eye habits, nutrient intake, etc., but the main reason is that children are exposed to electronic products too early, and parents do not have "eye protection awareness".
Myopia is mainly prevention. It is better to wait until the child is really nearsighted before paying attention. As parents, we should take some effective measures to protect children's eyesight. The following points should be noted:
1, children with little or no contact with electronic products
Nowadays, many people give their children their mobile phones to play in order not to cry. The children are really quiet, but their parents don't seem to realize the potential dangers. Children who often play mobile phones will inevitably have poor eyesight, which will also affect bone development and cervical spine problems. If children need mobile phones to do their homework, they also need time to use them.
The situation of coaxing children with mobile phones is really everywhere, and you have seen many around you! Let's go back up there, my best friend. Her son is nearsighted because he plays mobile phone too much. Because his second child was born when he was three years old, he didn't have much energy to take care of the older one, so he gave his mobile phone to the child to play with.
We often meet each other, almost every time I see her showing videos to her children with her mobile phone, sometimes she makes trouble without giving them a hand. I tried to get her cell phone. I warned her not to let the children play, and she always said nothing. And I found that her children often squinted and asked her to take it to check what was going on. She didn't care. Now she's really nearsighted and says she regrets it ... I told you directly, but she didn't listen.
2, control the eye time
Even if the child is doing homework, let the child control the eye time and have a proper rest. For example, after finishing his homework for 40 minutes, he can rest for 10 minutes, let him close his eyes and look into the distance, so that his eyes can be relieved.
3. Control the eye distance
It means that children should not get too close when watching TV or reading books, and keep a distance of at least 30cm. This is the key to prevent myopia, because watching at close range may lead to visual fatigue, which may cause dry eyes and pain. If the eyes are in a state of excessive fatigue for a long time, it is very likely that the vision will decline.
4. Nutritional intake should be balanced.
Nowadays, many children are picky eaters, and eating too much sugar as a child will also have the risk of myopia! Because the basic substance needed for eye development is zinc, and zinc is an important element in the formation of rhodopsin in eyeball retina, an unbalanced diet will lead to zinc deficiency, so it is necessary to ensure a balanced nutritional intake for children.
Eat more fruits and vegetables while eating meat. Carrots contain vitamin A, which is also good for eyesight. It can prevent dry eye, keep cornea normal and improve night vision ability, so it can be given to children in moderation.
5. Do more outdoor activities
Outdoor activities can reduce the prevalence of myopia. Usually you can take your children to play badminton, table tennis or climb mountains. Outdoor activities can also promote the release of dopamine from the retina of the eye and control the growth of the axial line. Therefore, bathing in the light of nature can effectively prevent myopia, and it is best to keep outdoor activities for two hours every day ~
There is also the need to cultivate children's correct reading and writing posture, do eye exercises every day, pay attention to the eye environment, don't play mobile phones/read books or do homework when the light is dim or in direct sunlight, and take children to the hospital for eye examination regularly. These are all issues that need special attention to prevent children from myopia.
I remember when I was in primary school, my family was still poor. When doing homework at home at night, the light bulb can be on, but the light is a little weak. My father was particularly worried that my eyes were not good, and he specially spent money to buy a new light bulb to install, which left a deep impression on me. As far as I can remember, my parents paid special attention to the problem of using their eyes for fear that we would be nearsighted. Many times, we are reminded to stay away when doing homework or watching TV. There are also arrangements in the school to do eye exercises after the first class every day.
Whether a child will be nearsighted depends on the intervention of our parents in most cases except congenital factors. Parents should pay attention to this problem, and don't think that myopia is just a small problem, which will affect the child's life. Therefore, if you see that the child has some bad behavior, you should correct it in time.
