What should I do if my child has eye fatigue?

Nowadays, there are more and more electronic devices for children to play with, and children’s control ability is not that strong, so more and more children are more likely to suffer from myopia. Once they become myopic, it will definitely have a greater impact on their future life. It may also cause their eyes to become more prone to fatigue. Let me introduce it to you now.

The main harm caused by computer and mobile phone screens comes from the long-term light damage to the eyes, especially the fundus, caused by the blue light and ultraviolet rays from the screens, so it is recommended to protect your eyes from these two aspects when using a computer. In addition, the constant shaking of the computer screen also affects the focusing frequency of the glasses. The repeated focusing caused by this shaking will also increase eye fatigue.

According to Japan's NHK, a survey shows that the blue light emitted by LCD screens such as computers and smartphones may cause eye fatigue, disrupt sleep rhythms and affect health.

Most of the light emitted by LCD screens such as computers, smartphones, and tablet terminals is blue light. As more and more people use these devices for a long time, doctors are concerned about the possible impact on health. A Japanese research institute that specializes in studying this blue light believes that because blue light has the shortest wavelength and very strong energy among the lights that the eyes can see, it puts a greater burden on the eyes than other colors of light, and viewing it for a long time may induce retinal inflammation. In addition, exposure to blue light at night may disrupt your sleep rhythm. Other studies have also shown that blue light is one of the potential factors causing age-related macular degeneration, a disease of the eye.

Kazuo Tsubota, professor of ophthalmology at Keio University School of Medicine and chairman of the Blue Light Research Society, said, "We believe that blue light not only causes eye fatigue, but also affects the body's internal rhythm, so we will conduct in-depth research on both the eyes and the body in the future."

After listening to the editor’s detailed introduction above, I believe that all friends should be very clear about this situation. Therefore, everyone should let children develop good living habits and eye habits from an early age. If they do not protect their eyes well when they are young, it will be more difficult to treat and regulate them when they grow up.
