What is the law of myopia growth in children?

In people's lives, many people are very troubled by the disease of myopia, especially many parents pay great attention to their children's myopia, because myopia usually develops when their body develops to the age of 18, so parents must pay great attention to the myopia of children before the age of 18. So, what is the law of the increase of children's myopia?

First, what is the growth pattern of myopia in children? When children develop myopia, they should first undergo an eye test under ciliary muscle paralysis (mydriasis). Only after it is confirmed to be true myopia can they get glasses. Attention must be paid to the accuracy of the eye test and the quality of the glasses, and they should not be worn casually. The reasons for the increase in myopia in children are the deepening of myopia caused by dietary nutrition. Some children often have picky eats, which results in insufficient nutrition needed for eye growth. For children with myopia, diet therapy should be used as an auxiliary measure. They should eat less sweet and sour foods and more foods that strengthen the spleen and stomach and replenish qi and blood, such as carrots, spinach, millet, corn, etc. This can prevent myopia from getting worse.

Second, the increase in myopia is related to genetics and eye usage habits. Paying attention to eye hygiene, regularly checking and promptly replacing glasses with appropriate degrees will help control myopia. If the cornea and ocular surface are in good condition, you can also consider wearing OK lenses, which have a definite effect on controlling myopia in adolescents. When talking about what it is like to be nearsighted, countless people are in tears. It's like the phone can't focus properly, but what's worse is that the whole world seems to be getting further and further away. When you look at people, you should squint your eyes, as if you are looking down on them. Otherwise you will get a reputation of being arrogant. It’s a pain in the summer. When I sweat, my glasses are all fogged up. Not only can I not see clearly, but they also slide down. What’s annoying is that even if I take off my glasses and lie down quietly for a while, I can’t help but hold them up. When they are gone, I’m terrified again... Moreover, myopia has started since I was a baby!

What is the rule for the increase of myopia in children? Method 1: Outdoor exercise in the sun for more than 2 hours a day. Previous outdoor exercises emphasized letting children look far more, look less near, and relax their muscles. However, the latest research shows that sunlight exposure can stimulate the secretion of dopamine in the eyes, which can inhibit the development of myopia. Therefore, compared with outdoor sports, bathing in the sun is more important for preventing and suppressing myopia. Method 2: Use atropine eye drops with a concentration of 0.01%. According to many years of clinical research abroad, long-term use of low-concentration atropine eye drops can effectively prevent the development of myopia. However, this drug has the effect of dilating the pupil and paralyzing the eyes, and a very small number of children may experience side effects such as blurred near vision and red eyes. Currently, eye drops of this concentration are not available in China and need to be purchased abroad.
