What are the factors that cause vision loss in children?

Children are the pride of their parents, especially now that many families have only one child, so they will definitely be doted on. However, vision problems are becoming more and more prominent, which makes parents very worried. There are many factors that may cause children's vision loss. In order to avoid the occurrence or aggravation of the situation, it is necessary to have a systematic understanding and then solve them in a targeted manner. So, what are the factors that lead to decreased vision in children? Let’s take a closer look below.

1. Genetic factors

Parents must pay attention to the reasons for children's decreased vision and actively seek treatment. Otherwise, it will not only affect the children's life and study, but may even develop into high myopia and affect the children's health. Genetic factors are one of the most common causes of myopia in children. Studies have found that if both parents are severely myopic, then their children are 100% likely to suffer from severe myopia. If one of the parents is severely myopic, then there is a 50% chance that the children will also be severely myopic.

2. Dietary factors

Diet and other aspects are also closely related to children's vision loss. Experts point out that unreasonable diet in children will lead to vision loss and other conditions. In daily life, we must arrange our daily diet reasonably and scientifically. Only in this way can we ensure the child's eyesight. Experts particularly emphasize that eating too much sweets can more easily lead to vision loss.

3. Environmental factors.

Environmental factors are also one of the main factors that can easily lead to vision loss in children. If the surrounding environment is unscientific, it may cause children's vision to deteriorate, especially if children often look at certain things close up for a long time, which is also one of the reasons for children's myopia. There is also the issue of ambient light. If the surroundings are too bright or too dark, it will harm the child's eyes.

4. Bad posture

Some bad habits and postures in children's study and life may also cause vision loss. Therefore, experts remind parents that they must urge their children to develop good habits in daily life. Especially when reading and writing, the eyes must be kept at a certain distance from the book. Looking closely for a long time can easily lead to decreased vision.

Children are young, and parents certainly do not want their children to have problems with their eyesight. Only when we know the factors that lead to children's vision loss can we better prevent it. Most vision problems are caused by bad living habits. In this regard, parents should be more patient and persuade their children to improve and develop good eye-loving habits.
