Alyssa Chia's 5-year-old daughter found congenital amblyopia: how to protect children's vision?

I went to school to pick up my children this afternoon, and unexpectedly found that many children had already worn glasses at an early age! A mother next to me felt the same way, saying that many friends and children around her had found out their vision problems.

Talking about this topic in the mother group, everyone found that the children of stars could not avoid it. Alyssa Chia once wrote that the girl's vision problem is bangs:

It turned out that Bababao was diagnosed with congenital amblyopia six months ago, and his binocular parallax was as high as 600 degrees.

Fortunately, it was discovered in time and the best opportunity for treatment was not missed.

Therefore, Alyssa Chia also reminded parents:

Be sure to take your child to check his eyesight in time. If there is a problem, find it as soon as possible and treat it as soon as possible.

There are not many cases of congenital amblyopia like babbling, and more children's eye problems are myopia caused by bad eye habits.

No.65438 +0 Why is the myopia rate of children now high?

In 20 16, the report "National Visual Health" released by Peking University shows that the nearsighted population over 5 years old in China has reached 450 million, and will exceed 700 million in 2020.

In other words, about one third of people wear glasses.

This is related to the upsurge of electronic products.

Before there were no electronic products, every child had been exposed to "mud, skipping rope, sandbags and badminton" in his childhood, which greatly reduced the possibility of damaging children's eyesight.

Look at our grandparents' generation, almost no myopia, but now, most children put on glasses early, and more and more people go to eye hospitals. Although technology has brought us convenience, it has also added a lot of burdens.

Myopia is also divided into two situations: the first day and the second day. For example, there are news reports that the 2-and-a-half-year-old baby is nearsighted at 900 degrees, probably due to many genetic factors, and the 4-year-old girl is nearsighted at 600 degrees, which was caused by careless use of her eyes when she was a child.

Most people's myopia is acquired, because the eyeballs are gradually elongated in childhood, that is, the growth of eyeballs is out of control.

Once a child is nearsighted, the average degree will deepen 100 degrees every year; Then with the increase of age, the degree increase will decrease.

In the 1970s, some scholars kept the monkey in a small room, so that it could not go outdoors, and could only look near but not far. A few months later, the monkey's eyes were induced into myopia.

Therefore, children are at a critical stage of growth and development. If you look at close objects for a long time, such as TV, mobile phone ipad, etc., it is easy to induce a series of vision problems such as myopia.

No.2 how to protect children's eyesight?

First, reduce the frequency of electronic products.

Watching TV and mobile ipad can lead to poor eyesight of children.

You may not know that children like watching TV, and the problem of playing mobile phones is something you inadvertently develop.

For example, children always eat badly. Many parents put their mobile phones in their children's hands or watch TV for their children in order to let them eat more. The child's attention is all focused on the mobile phone, and parents take this opportunity to fill their children's stomachs quickly.

Although children can eat a lot, they love watching TV and playing mobile phones.

Other parents always enjoy it in front of their children, and then turn their heads to limit it, so the children naturally won't listen.

If everyone is like this at ordinary times, it is in urgent need of change. When you can't cope or are too lazy to cope with children, don't look for mobile TV to help you. You should also restrain your behavior at ordinary times.

Secondly, regulate the time of playing mobile phones and watching TV.

Children want to watch and play, but the time should be fixed.

Parents can discuss with their children and choose a fixed time. For example, you can watch TV after a nap every afternoon. Or you can play mobile phone after dinner every day for no more than 15 minutes at a time and no more than 2 times a day.

This is limited use.

Once you decide the time, the child will have a spectrum in his heart and know which time period is his viewing time.

If you are worried that your child will not stop until 15 minutes, you can use the method of reminding in advance. "It's time to watch for another five minutes. We agreed to sleep." Let the children have a psychological preparation, which will avoid the trouble of crying.

Many softwares also set time limits, so parents can make good use of them.

When he knows that this rule cannot be changed, the expectation of TV time every day will gradually replace nonsense.

Once the rules of watching TV and playing mobile phones are set, the whole family must resolutely implement them, and the standards of each family member cannot be different.

If the standards are inconsistent, children are smart and will skillfully use loopholes to achieve their goals, then the meaning of the rules will be invalid.

Take more children to participate in outdoor sports.

A study in the journal Nature shows that the time of outdoor activities is the only strong correlation factor for myopia. The shorter the exposure time of eyes to sunlight, the higher the risk of myopia.

Parents in European and American countries generally attach importance to their children's outdoor activities. In the United States, almost every school and every residential area has a public garden and a playground for children's outdoor activities. The most important parent-child activity for parents and children is outdoor sports. American children go out to exercise almost every day, including playing ball games, parkour and even strength training ... so the myopia rate of teenagers in Europe and America is much lower than that in China.

Outdoor activities can expose eyes to more sunlight, which can induce the release of dopamine in retina. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps photoreceptor cells respond to light stimulation. Studies on animals have found that when the retinal dopamine level of the eyes drops, the eyes will enter the cycle of axial growth. The longer the axial length, the more serious myopia.

Love to play is a child's nature, and 3-6 years old is a period when children's intelligence and emotion are gradually improved. Taking children to participate in outdoor activities, breathing the air of nature and basking in the sun can not only strengthen their physique and improve their immunity, but also help their physical and mental health and growth, which is even more beneficial to their eyesight.

Check your child's eyesight regularly.

Parents should regularly take their children to regular hospitals to check their eyesight, so as to find out the reasons and take appropriate preventive measures.

At the same time, ensure that children eat proper nutrition and avoid partial eclipse and overeating. Eat foods rich in vitamins and calcium, such as animal liver, beans, milk, eggs, fish and shrimp, persimmons, carrots, vegetables and coarse grains.

The research of the China pilot's vision standard maker also introduced a set of eye protection exercises:

① Look at the finger moving back and forth for 3 times;

② Look up and down 3 times each;

③ Look left, right, up and down three times each;

4 squint 3 times;

⑤ Clockwise and counterclockwise 3 times each.

Usually parents can take their children to do it, relax their eyes and relieve eye discomfort. However, once you find that your child's vision is abnormal, you should seek medical advice as soon as possible.
