The campus "glasses family" ranks first in the world, and the "myopia kingdom" should go from here
Recently
The incidence of myopia in China is rising, and adolescents have become the "hardest hit areas".
According to conservative estimates, by 2020, the number of myopia patients in China will be close to 711 million.
With the rapid aging of refractive error, myopia has undoubtedly become a "national disease" that affects the quality of the current and future population.
What does the future hold for the kingdom of myopia? The campus "glasses family" ranks first in the world, and Wenwen, who is 4 and a half years old this year, is studying in the first kindergarten in Chengxi District, Xining City, Qinghai Province.
During a recent eye examination, he was found to have a refractive error and had a visual acuity of only 4.3 in his left eye.
Astigmatism in the right eye needs to be corrected with glasses.
This is in a hurry, and my mother Zhou Ting:
"So little kids have to wear glasses,
What can I do in the future?" There are not a few parents who have the same troubles as Zhou Ting
Among the 56 students in the Wenwen class, 11 were found to have refractive error.
The rate of poor vision reached 19%.
And this data is even more pronounced among children after entering school.
Taking the 2015 enrollment vision survey data of 25 junior high schools under the Xining Municipal Education Bureau as an example,
The rate of poor vision of 35,016 people tested was 62.26%, of which more than ninety percent were myopia.
Li Haiqing, deputy chief physician of the Department of Ophthalmology of the First People's Hospital of Xining City, introduced,
Every year during the winter and summer vacations, the ophthalmology clinic of their hospital will usher in a peak of visits.
The treatment is mainly for primary and secondary school students between the ages of 10 and 15, and more than 100 people are treated every day.
Behind the hospital's ophthalmology department,
Chinese students are setting a worrying record:
According to the white paper "National Vision Health" released by the China Health Development Research Center of Peking University,
The prevalence of myopia among high school students and college students in China is more than 70% and is increasing year by year.
The prevalence of myopia among adolescents is already the highest in the world.
Studies have confirmed that the prevalence of vision impairment in China is much higher than the global average.
On the one hand, with the rapid aging of refractive error, myopia has become a "national disease" that affects the quality of the current and future population.
On the other hand, senile vision defects are premature, presbyopia and cataracts occur early,
It will become a heavy burden on an aging society.
"In the past, there weren't so many high-rise buildings, and the children had a wider view from the outside.
Now that the child's field of vision is narrowed, coupled with the overuse of his eyes, he is prone to myopia. ”
Li Haiqing said.
In addition to genetic factors, electronic products such as smartphones and tablets are becoming more and more popular.
It has become a major factor affecting the vision of adolescents.
In addition, because of the heavy homework burden and the lack of spare time for young people in my country,
The myopia rate of adolescents such as lack of outdoor activities is higher than that of Japan and South Korea.
Li Haiqing said that many people think that laser correction surgery can remove glasses.
However, laser myopia surgery to cut the cornea is required to have a safe value.
"Forced surgery in myopic patients with thin corneas is likely to trigger keratoconus,
In severe cases, it can also cause consequences such as loss of vision. ”
Fashion plate alloy ladies casual full-frame medium size myopia glasses FB5028C05 shallow tortoiseshell "national disease" will cause "national worries" Liu Shou, associate professor of the Department of Clinical Medicine, Qinghai University School of Medicine, introduced,
Adolescent myopia may form a vicious circleAfter students wear glasses,
The proportion of participants in more competitive sports will decrease, which may be accompanied by a decrease in physical fitness and a deepening of myopia.
"From the perspective of medical psychology, some myopic patients are under self-psychological suggestion,
Behavior will be more conservative, and in the long run, an introverted personality will be formed.
Compared with the extroverted personality, the immunity of this part of the body will also be lower. ”
Liu Shou said that many people do not think that myopia is a serious disease, and it will not have much impact on the daily life of individuals.
But if the proportion of myopia in a country's population is too high, the impact on many professions and even national defense is self-evident.
First of all, myopia is unable to perform military service, and "spectacle soldiers" are unable to complete tasks such as emergency rescue and disaster relief and security guarantees.
Nor can it adapt to the needs of high-intensity training and warfare.
Secondly, many high-temperature, chemical and other production positions also have requirements for naked vision.
People who are nearsighted or visually impaired are unable to work.
Thirdly, according to medical principles, the occurrence and harm of myopia are irreversible.
High myopia is prone to various fundus lesions, causing serious and permanent visual impairment.
The heritability and familial aggregation of myopia will affect the quality of China's population in the future.
The college entrance examination has just ended, and for some myopic candidates, it means that on their physical examination form,
The phrase "professional can not be recorded" will be written.
According to China's "Guiding Opinions on Physical Examination for Enrollment in Ordinary Colleges and Universities",
Those with unaided visual acuity lower than 5.0 in any eye
The majors that cannot be admitted are:
Flight Technology, Navigation Technology, Fire Engineering, Forensic Science and Technology, Reconnaissance, etc.
The specialties are:
Marine ship piloting and the same or similar majors as the above.
Experts believe that the eyes are an indispensable "capital" to realize the value of life.
Myopia has become a "national disease", and it is obviously also a "national worry".
Many students have the dream of soaring into the blue sky, but their vision does not reach 5.0.
Flight technology and aerospace technology are both professional astronauts who cannot be filled, and the dream of astronauts is even more unattainable; Children who love to watch "Detective Conan" may also have dreams of becoming detectives,
However, for the two majors of forensic science and technology and investigation, myopia is an obstacle.
Students who need to wear glasses greater than 400 degrees are not only unable to study marine science, marine technology, measurement and control technology and instrumentation.
For example, biomedical engineering and clothing design engineering cannot be examined; There are more than 30 majors in which students who need to wear glasses greater than 800 degrees cannot be admitted
Among them, there are many popular majors such as electronic information science, medicine, psychology, transportation, and civil engineering.
According to the white paper "National Vision Health", it is estimated that in 2012, the socio-economic costs caused by various vision defects were about 680 billion yuan.
It accounted for 1.3% of GDP that year.
Liu Shou said:
"If the myopic population reaches 700 million by 2020,
Then in the aerospace, precision manufacturing, military and other industries
There may be a huge shortage of vision-eligible workforce, which will directly threaten the sustainable development of China's economy and society, as well as national security. ”
Tyrannosaurus BJ1055 Glasses Frame P01 Black Multi-pronged Approach to "Decompress" Eyes Li Haiqing thinks,
In order to protect the eyes, "start from a young age", first of all, establish the "concept of vision care".
At present, parents almost pay attention to their children's height, weight, nutrition, learning and other hard indicators.
The dangers of visual diseases are often overlooked.
In fact, myopia is a chronic disease, and early detection can help to treat it better.
Therefore, she suggested that the health, education and other departments can include adolescent vision health in basic public health programs.
Establish visual health records for primary and secondary school students.
Xiao Li, an associate researcher at the Qinghai Provincial Academy of Social Sciences, believes that in terms of preventing myopia,
Schools, families, and society should form a joint force and take a multi-pronged approach.
It is recommended to follow some good practices abroad, such as Japanese parents spontaneously forming alliances,
Limit the amount of time your child spends playing in the palm of your child's hand.
In order to maintain the health of children's vision, German schools regularly organise "television" activities.
In France, infants and young children must undergo medical examinations on the 8th, 9th and 24th months of life.
The eye test is a mandatory test item.
Xiao Li also believes that eye diseases such as refractive error have become one of the main threats affecting national health.
But whether it is public education, preventive health care, medical service guarantee
or the industry supervision related to optometric products is not perfect.
Vision health policies need to be adjusted accordingly, and public policies should be systematically formulated at the national level to prevent future crises in myopic countries.
