A small action by the grandmother made her grandson nearsighted for life

The story starts with the word "love"

…

Because parents are busy with their daily work

5-year-old Xiaobao goes to school every day

Just follow grandma

All food and daily life

In this small

There's only room for so much furniture.

Completed in the room

Out of love

For all requests made by children

Grandma often agrees unconditionally

Including watching TV

I often watch it for hours.

Watching TV for a long time or too close

There is also a lack of sufficient outdoor activities.

At this time, Xiaobao has developed myopia

But because of the limited space in the room

The distance between children and TV is too short

So I didn’t feel unclear

My parents and grandmother didn't find out in time.

Until one day

Be aware of your child’s vision problems

The mother quickly took the child to the hospital for an eye examination

However, it was too late

A 5-year-old child is 200 degrees myopic

If we don't control it scientifically

There is a high chance of developing high myopia in adulthood

Severe myopia (myopia of more than 600 degrees)

Increases the risk of retinal detachment and macular degeneration

The probability of various eye diseases

Severe cases can cause blindness

Dai Hongbin, member of the Standing Committee of the Ophthalmology Branch of Hubei Provincial Association of Traditional Chinese Medicine, chief physician, and director of strabismus, amblyopia and pediatric ophthalmology, said: Timely examinations can help parents understand their children's eye health as early as possible. If they are already myopic, early intervention can be made to prevent them from developing high myopia; if their vision is good, scientific prevention can be used to keep them away from myopia.

In addition, children with poor eyesight may have pseudomyopia, which is reversible, so timely correction of bad eye habits can restore clear vision. Therefore, if you find that your child's eyesight has deteriorated after the holiday, you should not blindly wear glasses. You must first conduct a detailed examination and let the doctor decide whether he needs to wear glasses or change the degree of glasses.

In addition to preventing myopia, vision examinations can also detect strabismus, amblyopia, hyperopia and other diseases that may cause blurred vision in children. At present, strabismus and amblyopia have corresponding treatment methods and treatment opportunities. 0-12 years old is the treatment opportunity for strabismus and amblyopia. Once the opportunity is missed or strabismus and amblyopia are treated as myopia, it may cause irreparable harm to the child. Therefore, timely examinations are necessary to prevent and discover potential diseases.
