What's wrong with the black spots on the white of my child's eye?

It is said that the eyes are the windows to the soul, which shows that the eyes are very important. Some parents have found black spots on the whites of their children's eyes. Studies have found that this is a manifestation of iris pigmented nevus, which is a normal physiological phenomenon and has no effect on the body. No treatment is required, as long as diet and other aspects are adjusted; but if it is a pathological symptom, special attention should be paid and timely treatment must be given.

1. What happens if a child has black spots on the white of his eye?

Black spots in the white of the eye are a manifestation of iris pigmented nevus. This problem should be physiological and has no effect on the eyes. No special treatment is required. You should adjust your lifestyle and avoid overwork, and these symptoms will be alleviated or disappear. You can also use aminoiodine eye drops 3 times a day. In daily life, you can eat some iodine-containing foods, such as kelp and seaweed, 1 to 2 times a week. You can also eat more foods containing vitamin C and iodine, such as vegetables and fruits, which are also beneficial to the improvement of vitreous opacities.

2. How to protect children's eyes

Early childhood:

1: Take your child to have his or her eyesight tested after he or she turns three, and take him or her for a check-up every holiday thereafter. Pay more attention to whether your child rubs his or her eyes, or has the habit of squinting to see things.

2: Don’t believe that if you cut your child’s eyelashes when they are young, their eyelashes will grow long, thick and dense when they grow up.

3: Take your children to play outdoors as much as possible, and see green and open spaces.

4: Do not let young children come into contact with electronic products too early, and it is best not to play with computers and mobile phones. Don't let your children watch TV for a long time. When they watch TV, they should sit in the center of the TV, keep a distance, and try not to watch at an angle for a long time.

5: Don’t let your children write or draw too early. Children who play the piano should not stare at the music score for a long time.

6: Don't let your children lie down or lie on their stomach to watch TV or read.

During elementary school: Don’t rest easy thinking that your child is six or seven years old and his eyesight is always quite good. Many children have been nearsighted for a long time during elementary school without their parents knowing it.

1: Pay attention to your child’s writing posture. Incorrect sitting posture and improper pen holding cause many children’s eyesight to deteriorate and lead to myopia.

2: Encourage your children to play outdoors more often on weekends, and avoid reading, writing or watching TV in dimly lit places.

3: Try to spend less time on the computer and mobile phone. Playing badminton and table tennis are also good ways to train your eyesight, but they also have to be persistent to be effective.

4: Take your child to the hospital for vision checks regularly. If you find any vision problems with your child, be sure to take your child to see a doctor in time and listen to the doctor's advice.

5: Keep looking far away! Move your eyes up, down, left and right!
