Prevention of myopia

For today's children, preventing myopia is very important, especially for children who like to play computer and watch TV. Parents must pay attention to the prevention of myopia in their children to avoid their children from developing myopia too early and affecting their children's vision. If a child develops myopia too early, it will easily develop into high myopia, which will also have a certain impact on the child's future.

The most important thing is that if it develops into high myopia, it is very likely to be passed on to the next generation. This is the most serious harm of high myopia. In order to prevent this from happening, parents should pay attention to preventing their children from myopia. The specific practices are as follows:

① Maintain a good working posture: Maintaining the most appropriate posture is very important for preventing myopia when playing games. Keep your eyes level or slightly downward at the computer screen. This can relax the neck muscles and minimize the area of ​​the eyeballs exposed to the air.

② Intermittent rest: A short break can relax your eyes. It is best to leave your seat and look at some distant targets for about 10 seconds. A short rest will greatly help protect your eyes.

③ Take a breath: Does taking a breath while playing games help prevent myopia and protect your eyes? Yes, in fact, when you inhale, you can speed up blood circulation. According to surveys, many children slow down their breathing because they are too focused on staring at the computer. So you should remind yourself frequently to keep breathing smoothly to relax your body and mind!

④ Be careful when wearing contact lenses: If the child has less tear secretion and his eyes are prone to dryness, it is not suitable for him to use contact lenses in front of the computer and he should wear frame glasses. People who wear contact lenses in front of a computer should also use those with high oxygen permeability.

⑤ Blink: Prevent myopia when playing games. In fact, blinking can make the eyes secrete tears and keep the eyes moist, which is very important for office ladies who wear contact lenses! Many children are too focused when playing games, staring at the computer screen for a long time and forget to blink, which is a simple action, causing dry and uncomfortable eyes.

⑥ Adjust the distance from the computer screen: The recommended distance for preventing myopia when playing games is 50-70 cm, and the screen should be slightly lower than the eye level by 10-20 cm, with a downward viewing angle of 15-20 degrees. Because the angle and distance can reduce the need for refraction and reduce the chance of eye fatigue.

The above-mentioned prevention of myopia only requires attention when the baby is playing on the computer. In normal times, mothers also need to pay attention to adding some foods that can prevent myopia to the baby, such as carrots, milk and other foods high in calcium, and eggs, peanuts and other foods high in zinc. Eating more of these foods can also protect children's eyes.
