I'm on my way to myopia
Let's take a look at the dangers of myopia
01
Complications of myopia
1.Cataracts
Due to abnormal intraocular nutrient metabolism in myopic eyes, it may cause changes in the permeability of the lens capsule membrane, which in turn leads to turbidity due to lens trophic disorders, resulting in concurrent cataracts.
2. Fundus bleeding
The poor blood supply to the eyes of myopic eyes can easily lead to the growth of retinal neovascularization. The walls of the neovascular vessels are very thin, and it is very easy to rupture and cause fundus bleeding.
3. Retinal cracks and detachments
Due to the lengthening of the eye axis of myopia and abnormal nutrient metabolism, the periphery of the retina is prone to lattice degeneration and cystic degeneration. The retina in the denatured area is very thin and prone to cracks; and because of the liquefaction of the vitreous body, it is easy to pull the retina and cause detachment, which can seriously cause blindness.
4. Vitreous opacity
After the eye axis is elongated, the retina will thin, and the more common floater syndrome (floater syndrome refers to the small black shadow fluttering in front of the eyes, which is more obvious when the background is bright, and may also be accompanied by a sense of flash), which is medically called vitreous opacification.

How can I protect my vision?
1. Increase outdoor sports
Adhere to 1-2 hours of outdoor activities every day to prevent myopia and strengthen the body.
2. Avoid using your eyes continuously at close range
After 30-40 minutes of continuous use of the eyes, rest for 5-10 minutes, look into the distance, relax the ciliary muscles; at the same time, maintain a correct reading and writing posture, do not read too closely, look at the mobile phone, etc.
3. Ensure a balanced diet and adequate sleep
Eat more vegetables and fruits, eat fewer snacks, and drink less drinks. Primary school students should ensure 9-10 hours of sleep per day, and middle school students should also ensure 8-9 hours of sleep per day, which can not only prevent myopia, but also have great benefits for the growth and development of adolescents and children.
4. Check your vision regularly
If vision decreases, go to the hospital in time. For children under 6 years old, vision is less than 1.0, which may be due to the fact that the child's visual function is not yet fully developed, parents do not have to be overly nervous, but also go to the hospital ophthalmology department for regular examinations.
03
How do parents do it?
Children should develop good eye habits, and the family plays a vital role. Parents can start from the following aspects:
1. Understand the knowledge of scientific eye use and eye protection
Lead by example, drive and help children develop good eye habits, and provide a good visual environment at home for children as much as possible.
2. Correctly understand the importance of outdoor activities
For children to spend more time outdoors in the sun, it is recommended to reach 2 hours of outdoor activity every day to prevent and delay the progression of myopia.
3. Control the use of electronic products
When parents accompany their children, they should minimize the use of electronic products and consciously control the time that children, especially preschool children, use electronic products. The use of electronic products for non-learning purposes should not exceed 15 minutes at a time, and the cumulative use should not exceed 1 hour per day. After 30 to 40 minutes of study using electronic products, you should rest and relax for 10 minutes. The younger the age, the shorter the continuous use of electronic products.
4. Reduce children's extracurricular learning burden
Cooperate with the school to reduce the burden on children, and do not blindly participate in extracurricular training. Guide your child not to read or use electronics while walking, eating, lying in bed, in a rocky compartment, in dim light or direct sunlight.
5. Supervise and correct your child's poor reading and writing posture at any time
It should be maintained "one foot, one punch, one inch", and the continuous eye time of reading and writing should not exceed 30 to 40 minutes.
6. Guarantee your child's sleep time
Make sure elementary school students get 10 hours of sleep a day. Let your child eat more fish, fruits, green vegetables and other foods that are beneficial to healthy vision.
7. Achieve early detection and early intervention
When you find that your child is squinting at things, not seeing the blackboard clearly in class, etc., take him to the ophthalmology medical institution for examination in time. Follow the doctor's advice for scientific intervention and myopia correction, and perform optometry in the ophthalmology department of a regular medical institution to avoid incorrect correction methods that lead to aggravation of myopia.
