Is Myopia Really Hereditary?

Is myopia really hereditary?

Well, it may will be inherited. But to explain the situation:

1. If both parents are highly myopic, the probability of myopia in the next generation is relatively high;
2. If one parent is highly myopic and the other is a carrier of the gene, the chances of passing it on to offspring are also high;
3. If both parents are carriers of the disease-causing gene, although they are not myopic, their disease-causing genes will be passed on to their children, and if the children have 2 myopia genes, the chance of becoming myopia will be higher.
We need to eat more foods that are good for the eyes:

No matter how old you are, it is very necessary to protect your eyes, and the following nutrients are very good for protecting your eyesight:

omega-3:
Everyone must have heard that this is a DHA. Breast milk, walnuts, and fish all have this omega-3, which can prevent myopia for children. It is recommended to eat deep-sea fish twice a week and a small handful of walnuts every day. to protect eyesight.

Lutein:

Green vegetables have this lutein, so does pumpkin. Lutein has a very good eye protection effect. When we make it for children, we can boil some with water and put it in noodles or put green vegetables in soup. This way the kids will love it too.

Vitamin C, Vitamin A:

Vitamin a is the main nutrient for maintaining healthy eyesight. Vitamins can also help the eyes to resist oxidation, and can also enhance the child's physique. Carrots are very rich in vitamin a, and foods with more vitamin c include oranges, kiwis and other fruits. , we can buy these fruits for children to eat.

Outdoor exercise can help protect eyesight

When watching TV as a child, adults always tell us not to stick it too close, it will cause myopia. In fact, watching TV will not directly cause our eyes to cause myopia, but will only make our eyes tired. We can control the time and give ourselves a certain amount. Don't watch TV for a long time, go out to exercise more, and don't stay up late, which can prevent myopia.

The national myopia rate is generally higher than other countries, why is this? Because children in our country are all in the classroom, the study time is very long, the study pressure is heavy, and the study burden is heavy, so our myopia rate is higher than that of Europe and the United States.

We need to keep children going outdoors for 14 hours a week, so that our risk of myopia will be reduced by 20%. Some scientists believe that outdoor light is very good for children's eye development, and letting children go out can also give Children wear sunglasses, ultraviolet rays can hurt our eyes, so we have to wear sunglasses to avoid children's eyes from being too stimulated.
