The prevalence of "electronic parenting" in Wuxi has caused myopia at a young age A few days ago was the 21st National "Love Your Eyes Day", and this year's theme is "Caring for Your Eyes from a Small Age". It is understood that at present, the prevalence of myopia in children in Wuxi is relatively high, and the age tends to be younger, and many children have become "small glasses" before school.
Prolonged close eye use is the main cause of myopia in children. In recent years, the incidence of myopia in preschool children has increased significantly. Ophthalmologists believe that this is related to the increasing popularity of mobile phones and tablets and the intentional or unintentional adoption of "e-parenting" by parents. The combination of sound and picture of electronic devices is easy to attract children's attention, but staring at the screen for too long is easy to develop visual fatigue and develop pseudomyopia, and if there is no intervention, it will become true myopia.

However, in fact, many commercial organizations do not have medical qualifications. Pseudomyopia can be alleviated, but the same effect can be achieved through outdoor activities such as relaxation.
Myopia should be prevented, and it is not recommended to spend money in informal institutions. In addition, the first time the child gets glasses should go to a regular hospital or a regular optical store. And children of different ages have different optometry methods. Children under the age of 8 need to use mydriatic drugs to "slow refraction", and it takes about a month to "slow scatter".
For children aged 8 to 18 years, rapid dilated refraction may be used. For children, non-dilation is basically inaccurate. According to the survey, the "small glasses" that are often checked quickly due to vision loss have an error of 50-100 degrees up and down the prescription of the glasses.
The prescription of glasses is too low, and it is easy to see fatigue; The prescription is too high, and the prescription rises rapidly in order to adapt to the glasses. Therefore, it is important to pay attention to precision when fitting glasses. In addition, your child's vision should be checked every six months.
