Recently, a news that "3-year-old girls are surprised by 1400 degrees of myopia and surprised their parents" appeared on the hot search.
According to media reports:
Henan Provincial Children's Hospital recently received a special small patient, whose binocular corrected vision is only 0.02, at first the parents thought that the child saw more electronic products, so they did not care too much.
Then I found that the child was getting closer and closer to seeing things, and the eyeballs could not rotate on their own, so they had to take the child to the hospital for treatment.
After examination, it was found that the child's right eye myopia was 1400 degrees and the left eye myopia was 1300 degrees, and the reason was caused by family inheritance. Parents do not understand that they are not short-sighted, why is the child's vision affected?
After some examination, it was found that the child was due to a family genetic disease called FEVR, which caused a genetic mutation and eventually caused myopia. The incidence of this disease is about 1%, and if it is severe, it may cause blindness.
At present, the child has been treated with lasers, and his disease can be controlled.
Children are short-sighted and really can't be neglected
According to data released by the White Paper on Eye Health in China:
In 2018, the overall myopia rate of mainland children and adolescents reached 53.6%, of which the myopia rate of 6-year-old children was 14.5%, the myopia rate of primary school students was 36.0%, the myopia rate of junior high school students was 71.6%, and the myopia rate of high school students was as high as 81.0%.
It can be seen that the prevalence of myopia in children on the mainland is still very high.
Especially in the following three types of children, the probability of developing myopia is much higher than that of normal children, and parents must pay attention to it.
First, the family has relatives who are highly myopic
Studies have shown that if both parents are myopic, the risk of myopia in children is 4 times higher than that of neither parent.
Myopia is a genetic predisposition, if the parents have a high degree of myopia, it may be inherited to the child, resulting in congenital visual impairment of the child.
However, this heredity is not what many people think, it is not absolute, but it will increase its risk in terms of probability.
Second, malnourished children
Malnutrition in children can affect not only the normal development of the body, but also affect vision.
Long-term picky eating, the child's body will lack a lot of trace elements, when the lack of calcium in the body, it is easy to cause damage to the child's vision, the content of calcium in the body will affect the intraocular pressure of the eyes.
It should be known that the child's vision is in the development stage before the age of 12, and this abnormal intraocular pressure will affect the child's eye development, and the child is prone to myopia.
Third, premature babies
If your child is premature, you need to be vigilant in this regard.
Premature babies will not only have a worse physique than children of the same age, but their vision is also prone to abnormalities, and the development of various parts of the body is relatively slow, which can easily lead to abnormal development of the eyeballs.
If a child develops high myopia, it may cause eye diseases such as macular bleeding, macular degeneration, and retinal detachment, which may lead to vision loss.
Do not want your child to wear glasses, it is advisable to intervene in advance:
For children, developing good eye habits can protect vision to a certain extent and slow down the development of myopia.
Like what:
First, correct the sitting posture
A long and wrong sitting position can affect your child's vision.
If your child has a problem sitting posture, the parent can watch from the side, and once there is a problem with his sitting posture, correct it in time until he develops a good habit. This can also prevent the child from hunchback problems, which has certain benefits for the development of children's bones.
Second, cultivate good habits
In addition to sitting upright, do not read while walking, riding in a car or lying down, but also in a well-lit, well-lit environment.
At the same time, it is also necessary to adjust the size of the reading font to avoid glare or visual fatigue in the process of reading and learning.
Third, control the length of use of electronic products
It is recommended that electronic products for non-learning purposes should not be used for more than 15 minutes at a time, and the cumulative amount should not exceed 1 hour per day, and the learning in the use of electronic products should be controlled at 30-40 minutes, and it is necessary to rest and relax for 10 minutes after learning.
Fourth, develop good eating and living habits
Diet to maintain a balanced diet, it is recommended that children eat more foods with sufficient calcium content, which can play a certain benefit to the development of the eye. At the same time, it can also be appropriate outdoor sports, which can reduce visual fatigue.
Of course, if it is found that the child has myopia, it is necessary to correct it in time, the dilated pupils, the refraction, the eye axis, the eye axis, the clear understanding of the child's exact myopia, so as to develop a suitable for the child's own glasses correction course.
