Ways to prevent myopia

Ways to prevent myopia.Eye-care knowledge should be instilled in children as early as possible.

.Should minimize children's close work, should do more outdoor activities, let the eyes relax.Don't ask your child to learn too much from the textbook too early.

.When children are doing close work, such as reading, using computers, or even playing computer games, they should keep a distance as far as possible and wear convex lens glasses of mild weight to reduce the pressure on their eyes when looking at close up (after wearing, they should still try to look at the close distance as far as possible).(We advocate that children should wear spectacles to prevent myopia as soon as they move from hyperopia to flat light.)

.When reading or working in close quarters, look up at the ceiling or the distance after every page or 5-minute break in each room to relieve the pressure of looking close.(Traditional medicine suggests watching for nearly 30 minutes, then watching for 30 seconds for rest, we think we should increase the rest density.)

.When using a computer, put the screen as far away as possible (so the larger the screen, the farther it can be placed). Try to adjust the font to a larger size so that it is more comfortable to look at the screen and do not have to sit too close.

.While reading, keep your back straight, in correct posture and at a reasonable distance.

.When reading, the distance between the eyes and the book is as far as possible, should be kept at least about 40cm(about the length of the forearm), should not lie down or when reading in a car.

.When reading, the light should be sufficient, even and steady.

.The distance of watching TV, the farther the better, at least should be 6 times the distance of the diagonal screen.

.Blink frequently to keep your eyes moist and prevent them from drying out.

.Eat a balanced diet to ensure good health.

.Educational institutions should try to reduce schoolwork pressure on children. Unnecessary homework may be exempted and children should be encouraged to engage in extra-curricular activities.

.If the home environment is narrow, you might as well stick lenses on the walls of the home, which can make the indoor environment feel more spacious and help reduce the pressure of eye adjustment.

.Parents should take their children to an optometrist or ophthalmologist for a comprehensive visual examination every six months.
