Prevent myopia in children and pay attention to eye use

In recent years, the phenomenon of myopia among children has become more and more common. The eyes are the windows to the soul, so it is very necessary to do a good job of prevention. We can start from the posture, time, light, nutrition, etc. of using the eyes. At the same time, we should also do proper eye exercises.

First of all, you should pay attention to your eye posture.

To put it simply, it is to achieve three "ones", namely, one fist, one inch, and one foot. One fist means that when a child sits in a seat to read or write, his chest should be kept one fist away from the desk; one inch means that when a child writes, the distance between the hand holding the pen and the tip of the pen should be kept one inch; one foot means that when a child reads, the distance between his eyes and the book should be kept one foot. These three "ones" are effective measures to keep the eye's visual axis at a normal distance and are a scientific means of protecting children's eyesight.

Secondly, pay attention to the time you use your eyes.

The eyeballs of young children are not fully developed and their working ability is low. Every time they read or write for 0.5 to 1 hour, they should be taken outdoors to do some activities, play games, look into the distance, or observe flowers, plants and trees to relax the tense eye muscles and eliminate fatigue. In addition, children should have a regular life and get enough sleep so that their eyes can get sufficient rest.

Pay attention to the light in your eyes.

Do not let your child read or write in dim light or sunlight. If you use a 25-watt light bulb indoors at night, the distance between the book and the bulb should be within 1 meter. If a 60-watt bulb is used, the distance between the book and the bulb should be between 1 and 2 meters. The light is weak on cloudy days, at dusk, and under moonlight, and the light is strong under sunlight, which are not suitable for reading or writing. When watching TV, you should maintain an appropriate distance, which should generally be 5 to 7 times the diagonal length of the fluorescent screen. The time for watching TV should not exceed 2 hours at a time.

Pay attention to eye exercises.

Physical exercise can enhance blood circulation and metabolism, supply the eyes with more nutrients, and enhance the eyes' resistance, which is an indirect exercise for the eyes. The most direct exercise is eye exercises, which are compiled based on Chinese medical massage, acupuncture points, and combined with medical sports. It is a scientific method to protect eyesight. Parents and teachers should learn the basic knowledge of eye exercises, provide specific guidance and regularly urge children to do eye exercises well and persevere.

Pay attention to eye nutrition.

Vegetables and fruits contain a lot of vitamins A and D, which have certain nutritional effects on the eyes. Regular consumption can help protect your eyes. Eating too much sugar can harm children's eyesight, so children's sugar intake should be controlled.
