Piano master class, dance master class, famous teacher tutoring class

......

September is designated as the National Myopia Prevention and Control Education Month

In fact, children also need to take this class well

Myopia Prevention and Control Course

Blind spot 1: Refractive development file building + scientific intervention = myopia prevention and control

Refractive development file creation: regularly understand the child's vision development; scientific intervention: help children develop good eye behavior habits.

20-20-20 rule for using your eyes

After watching a screen for 20 minutes, look up and look 20 feet away for at least 20 seconds.

3 1 Reading and Writing Sitting

The distance between the eyes and the book is one foot (about 33 cm), the distance between the chest and the table is one fist, and the distance between the fingers holding the pen and the tip of the pen is one inch.

Maintain a good home lighting environment

When children are reading or studying at home, the light value entering their eyes should be no less than 125 lux. When the indoor light is too dark, make sure that the indoor lighting and eye protection lamp are turned on at the same time.

Spend at least 2 hours outdoors every day

Natural light → stimulates the eyeball → secretes dopamine → inhibits eye axis growth → prevents myopia

Blind spot 2: If you are careless about eye examination and glasses fitting, your child's vision will be more blurred

Minefield 01: "First time eyeglass fitting without dilation"

Children's eyes have strong adaptability, and glasses without mydriasis may often be overcorrected or undercorrected.

Minefield 02: "You don't need an eye exam to get glasses"

Poor eyesight does not mean wearing glasses. Not having an eye examination before wearing glasses may cause you to miss the opportunity to treat eye diseases.

Minefield 03: No need for regular checkups after getting glasses

Glasses, like clothes, can become out of place as you age, so it’s important to have them checked regularly.

Zhu Lina, director of Tianjin University Aier Eye Hospital, said that optometry and glasses fitting is a medical act. In addition to optometry, doctors will also give appropriate optometry prescriptions based on daily eye habits after excluding eye diseases. Only with the correct optometry prescription can the correctness of subsequent glasses fitting be guaranteed.

Blind spot 3: Studying is the scapegoat for children’s myopia

The family is the main battlefield for myopia prevention and control, and parents are the gatekeepers of myopia prevention and control for their children. The home illumination environment and eye habits of Chinese children need to be improved urgently. This "game" of myopia prevention and control requires excellent "goalkeepers"!

Blind spot 4: Myopia prevention and control is either "lying flat" or "involution"

The whole society should work together to establish the concept of scientific eye protection. When it comes to myopia prevention and control for children, we should not be overly anxious or indifferent. The whole society should work together to prevent and control myopia and jointly establish the concept of scientific eye protection. I believe that we can protect the bright future of our children.
