Abstract: myopia, as a common ophthalmic disease, is showing a trend of younger age. Due to the great academic pressure, many children suffer from myopia early, with thick glasses on the bridge of the nose. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, there are four types of children more vulnerable to myopia., Nowadays, myopia is becoming more and more common among children. Some children begin to have the symptoms of myopia in the first and second grades of primary school, causing a lot of trouble to their life and study. Many parents believe that children face heavy schoolwork pressure and huge pressure to enter school. It is inevitable that they will use their eyes too much and have myopia. In fact, from a medical point of view, myopia in childhood is not entirely related to eye habits. In many cases, it is closely related to the child’s congenital development. Chinese medicine experts remind that the following four categories of children are most vulnerable to myopia., 1. For children with low birth weight, if the baby’s birth weight is less than 2500 grams, such children are particularly prone to myopia when they grow to puberty. How to explain this situation? The main reason for this is that due to low birth weight, congenital dysplasia and acquired adverse factors, such children will have longer ocular axis development than normal children, and eventually lead to myopia., 2. Children born prematurely, and infants born prematurely for 2 weeks or more, often have the symptoms of myopia in childhood. The causes of myopia in preterm children are similar to those in children with low birth weight, which are related to congenital dysplasia., 3. Children who don’t sleep enough have enough sleep time, which is not only closely related to children’s growth and development, but also related to children’s eye health. When the child is in the accelerated period of growth and development, if you can’t ensure that the child has enough sleep, it will cause myopia. This situation is particularly prominent for children aged 7-9 or 12-14. Moreover, when children are deprived of valuable sleep time due to heavy homework burden, they are also prone to myopia., 4. Children whose parents are myopic.
nowadays, the phenomenon of myopia is becoming more and more common. Some children begin to have the symptoms of myopia in the first and second grades of primary school, causing a lot of trouble to their life and study. Many parents believe that children face heavy schoolwork pressure and huge pressure to enter school. It is inevitable that they will use their eyes too much and have myopia. In fact, from a medical point of view, myopia in childhood is not entirely related to eye habits. In many cases, it is closely related to the child’s congenital development. Chinese medicine experts remind that the following four categories of children are most vulnerable to myopia.
1. Children with low birth weight
if the baby’s weight at birth is less than 2500 grams, such children are particularly prone to myopia when they grow to adolescence. How to explain this situation? The main reason for this is that due to low birth weight, congenital dysplasia and acquired adverse factors, such children will have longer ocular axis development than normal children, and eventually lead to myopia.
2. Children born prematurely are
. For infants born prematurely for 2 weeks or more, they often have the symptoms of myopia in childhood. The causes of myopia in preterm children are similar to those in children with low birth weight, which are related to congenital dysplasia.
3. Children who do not sleep enough
have sufficient sleep time, which is not only closely related to children’s growth and development, but also related to children’s eye health. When the child is in the accelerated period of growth and development, if you can’t ensure that the child has enough sleep, it will cause myopia. This situation is particularly prominent for children aged 7-9 or 12-14. Moreover, when children are deprived of valuable sleep time due to heavy homework burden, they are also prone to myopia.
4. The higher the degree of myopia, the greater the probability of myopia inheritance. This is a consensus recognized by the medical community. Generally, if the degree of myopia of parents is less than 300 degrees, the possibility of passing on myopia to their children is relatively low; If the degree of myopia of parents is between 300 and 600, there is a close relationship between myopia and heredity; If the degree of myopia of parents is higher than 600 degrees, it is more likely to be passed on to their children. For both parents with high myopia, the probability of passing myopia on to their children is not high.
and
have a pair of bright eyes, which are very important for children. We need to help children develop a good habit of using their eyes, sit in a correct posture, have a moderate distance from books, often do eye exercises, and look out for a few minutes after reading or learning for a period of time to alleviate eye fatigue.
