Children Are Short-Sighted. Is It Necessary to Prevent And Control Myopia?
Preventing children's myopia is a matter that parents attach great importance to. However, once the child is short-sighted, many parents will treat it negatively in terms of myopia prevention and control. They think that the child has been short-sighted and put on glasses. The degree of myopia is the same whether it is mild or high.
If you are already high myopia, in addition to regular visual examination, you need to have regular eye examination, especially fundus health examination. In addition to paying attention to the changes of vision, we should also pay attention to some abnormal phenomena in the early stage of the eye, such as flash sensation, flying mosquito disease, visual field defect, dark spots, decreased vision, etc. once there are symptoms, we should go to the hospital for examination immediately.
In addition, due to the long eye axis and relatively soft and thin eye wall of high myopia, attention should be paid to avoid violent activities, vibration and external force hitting the eye to avoid retinal detachment. You can also supplement an appropriate amount of vitamins at ordinary times.
Posterior scleral staphyloma: when the ocular axis is too long, posterior scleral staphyloma will occur, and the surrounding retina will degenerate and atrophy, resulting in decreased vision.
Retinal detachment, degeneration and hemorrhage: it is a common complication of high myopia, with an incidence of 8 ~ 10 times higher than that of other people. Severe cases can lead to blindness.
Vitreous lesions: the extension of the ocular axis and the enlargement of the vitreous cavity promote the progressive degeneration of the vitreous, resulting in liquefaction, turbidity and posterior detachment. There will be an obvious phenomenon of flying mosquito, feeling that there is a dark shadow fluttering or a sense of flash in front of you.
Cataract and glaucoma: the chance of high myopia complicated with cataract and glaucoma is higher than that of normal people.
Cryptotropia: due to abnormal regulation and collection functions and maladjusted relationship, it is often accompanied by high exotropia.
How to refuse myopia escalation during the epidemic?
1.According to the implementation plan for comprehensive prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents, here are the following five eye protection strategies!
2.Adhere to the "20-20-20 rule", that is, every 20 minutes of close reading (writing, reading, using mobile phone, computer, etc.), look 20 feet (6m) away for 20 seconds.
3.Avoid bad eye use behavior and develop correct eye use habits. Do not read or play with electronic products when walking, eating, lying in bed, taking a ride, the light is too strong or weak, and the sun is direct. Correct the child's bad reading and writing posture in time, and keep the sitting posture of "one foot, one punch and one inch".
4.Ensure that children have enough sleep time and rest their eyes. Primary school students spend 10 hours, junior middle school students 9 hours and senior high school students 8 hours.
5.Eat nutritious elements beneficial to children, and eat more fish, fruits, green vegetables and other foods beneficial to vision health.
6.Reduce children's extracurricular learning burden and prevent excessive eye fatigue.
