Eye care

As the 2022 June 6 "Eye Care Day" approaches, for the physical and mental health of young people, we will popularize knowledge about eye care and eye protection, let students and parents know how to protect their eyesight and prevent myopia, and focus on how young people can prevent and control myopia, eye fatigue and other vision problems. The Science Popularization and Health Education Working Committee of the Chinese Medical Education Association (hereinafter referred to as the "Science Popularization Committee") jointly organized an online science popularization lecture on "How to Love and Protect Your Eyes While at Home" with the Dongcheng District Education Committee of Beijing and the Ophthalmology Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. The main speaker was Professor Wang Zhiqiang, Director of the Ophthalmology Department of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine. The online live broadcast was broadcast through multiple platforms such as the online live broadcast platform, the Science Popularization Committee official account, Weibo, and the Ophthalmology Official Account of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, with a total of nearly 100,000 viewers.

With the widespread use of electronic products such as mobile phones and computers, electronic products are becoming more and more attractive to young people, resulting in more and more vision problems in recent years, and myopia at a younger age is becoming more and more serious. The "Air Classroom" played an important role during the epidemic, ensuring the realization of "suspending classes but not learning", but at the same time, it also made students spend a lot more time using electronic products. In view of this, the Dongcheng District Education Committee and the Science Popularization Committee of Beijing insisted on promoting the physical and mental health of young people and reducing the incidence of myopia as the primary goal, and organized this online event. Chairman Wang Zhiqiang of the Science Popularization Committee led the ophthalmologists of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine to actively prepare, and the Dongcheng District Education Committee of Beijing actively organized teachers, students and parents from various schools to watch carefully.

In the lecture, Director Wang Zhiqiang discussed the topics of "What is myopia?", "How to detect children's vision abnormalities as early as possible?", "How to prevent and control myopia during online classes?", etc. Based on his own years of practical research, he analyzed some causes of myopia in adolescents and children, and suggested that parents take their children out to sunbathe and participate in outdoor sports. He also shared tips on how to scientifically prevent myopia in combination with the current situation of home learning, and provided professional guidance for correcting children's bad eye habits. When explaining the scientific eye-use methods during home stays, Director Wang focused on guiding adolescents' sitting posture, reading and writing posture, eye exercises, etc., and improved children and adolescents' awareness and skills of eye care.

In Director Wang's lecture, parents understood their children's previous incorrect eye habits and learned about eye care. Parents actively left messages and interacted in the comment area, saying that they benefited a lot.
