Are many parents troubled by the above questions recently? Due to the repeated epidemic, students have to take online classes at home and face electronic products all day, which is very harmful to their eyes. So how can we protect students' eyes during online classes without delaying their studies? Dr. Zheng Ke, deputy chief physician of the Department of Ophthalmology at the Affiliated Eye, Ear, Nose and Throat Hospital of Fudan University, specially opened a class on "How to protect eyes while at home" in the online class of Shanghai Parents School.

Possible side effects of online classes

First, Dr. Zheng Ke told everyone about some of the sequelae that long-term online classes may bring to students. During the epidemic two years ago, the myopia rate of primary and secondary school students increased by 11.7% in half a year. Protecting students' eyesight is urgent. The myopia rate of primary school students increased by 15.2%; the rate of junior high school students increased by 8.2%; and the rate of high school students increased by 3.8%.

Complications of high myopia - blindness

Myopia can bring a lot of inconveniences in life, and even affect joining the army, choosing college entrance examinations, and taking civil service exams. Severe myopia can cause a very serious complication - blindness. Therefore, prevention of myopia requires the attention of every student and parent.

Many parents think that myopia can be cured by surgery and they don’t need to worry too much. But this is not true! Not all myopia can be cured by surgery!

Myopia can be prevented, controlled and corrected

Dr. Zheng Ke also made a corresponding introduction to the prevention and correction of myopia. First of all, for the prevention of myopia, sufficient outdoor activities are very important. Do not let children always sit in front of electronic products. Occasionally stand up and walk around, look at the distance, which has a good relaxing effect on the eyes. Secondly, Dr. Zheng Ke also made a detailed introduction to the low-concentration atropine used for myopia. Finally, Dr. Zheng Ke also talked about many misunderstandings about myopia prevention and the correct methods to prevent myopia.
