What are the prevention methods for myopia in teenagers?

With the changes in the social environment, academic pressure and the lack of attention paid by teenagers to their eyes, more and more teenagers are suffering from myopia. China has become a country with a high incidence of myopia. In the outpatient department of the hospital, many parents come with their children to inquire every day. Myopia has become an obstacle to the development of young people. Although with the development of medical technology, the treatment of myopia is no longer a myth, the key is how to prevent myopia in teenagers. Today we will introduce some methods to prevent myopia in teenagers.

1. Develop the correct posture for reading and writing, and keep a distance of about 30 cm between your eyes and the book.

2. When reading or writing, the light should be moderate, not too strong or too dark. The light should come from the front left to prevent the shadow of the hand from obstructing your vision.

3. Do not read for too long. Every 40 to 50 minutes, you should take a 10 to 15 minute break, close your eyes or look into the distance for a few minutes or do eye exercises to prevent excessive eye fatigue.

4. Do not read books or newspapers with small or blurred handwriting, and do not write too small.

5. Correct unreasonable eye habits, such as lying on the table, reading or writing with your head tilted, reading while lying on the bed, reading while eating, reading under strong light or dim street lights or moonlight, as well as reading in a moving car or while walking. These bad habits will cause excessive eye fatigue and reduce the acuity of vision.

6. Strengthening physical exercise and improving physical fitness can reduce and slow down the occurrence of myopia, especially outdoor sports. Letting children go to the suburbs where the air is fresh and the view is wide, and look out into the distance to appreciate the mountains, rivers and land of the motherland is one of the best ways to protect their eyes. Pay attention to nutritional supplements, especially vitamin B and minerals, as they are necessary for eye development and functional progression.

The above are the prevention methods for myopia in adolescents. The biggest cause of myopia in adolescents is unhygienic use of the eyes, so in daily study and life, you must not overuse your eyes, the distance between watching TV and reading must be correct, eat more vitamin-rich foods, exercise more, and do eye exercises on time. I believe that in this way you can stay away from myopia and have a pair of enviable bright eyes.
