1. What kind of myopia is hereditary?
there are two common types of myopia, one is simple myopia, the other is high myopia.
simple myopia, also known as ordinary myopia, refers to low and moderate myopia below 600 degrees, which is very common. It is generally physiological. At present, there is no obvious evidence that ordinary myopia can be inherited.
and
high myopia refer to myopia with high diopter, significantly prolonged ocular axis and atrophic degeneration of fundus. It is divided into pathological and physiological. Pathological high myopia is hereditary. If both
and
couples are highly myopic, their children usually get sick;
and
have high myopia, the other is normal, and 10% – 15% of their children are ill; One of
and
is high myopia, and the other is a myopia gene carrier with normal phenotype. The incidence of high myopia in their children is 50%; If both
and
are myopia gene carriers, but their eyesight is normal, the incidence of high myopia in their children is 25%.
2. How to reduce the genetic possibility of pregnant women with high myopia?
expectant mothers can still minimize the impact of genetics on their babies through various methods:
A. early injection of rubella vaccine – rubella virus infection in early pregnancy is likely to directly affect the development of fetal eyes and lead to congenital cataract.
B. bask in the sun – proper outdoor exercise is conducive to the absorption of calcium and the development of fetal visual cells and cornea.
C. pay attention to adequate intake of vitamins, store them in the development of baby’s eyes, and prevent cataract.
D. pregnant mothers should carefully use eye drops and ointment to prevent fetal malformations.
3. How to prevent baby myopia? There are many reasons for
and
myopia: parents’ inheritance; Low birth weight and preterm infants; Bad eye habits can lead to myopia. We can start from the following aspects:
A. regular examination – if both husband and wife or one of them has high myopia, pay more attention to the visual differences between the baby and children of the same age, take the baby to ophthalmic examination regularly to find problems in time.
and
B. dietary adjustment – traditional Chinese medicine advocates “nurture the congenital”. If the baby has genetic myopia, it can be adjusted and alleviated through diet to avoid picky eating and anorexia; Reduce the intake of sweets; At the same time, eat more foods rich in vitamins A, B1, B2, C and E.
C. scientific eye – the ratio of light transmission area of window to room area shall not be less than 1:6;; Reduce children’s time watching TV, mobile phone and computer; The baby’s game mode is mainly outdoor activities; Pay attention to the baby’s eye hygiene and eye habits, and form a good writing and reading posture.
in addition to genetic factors, bad eye habits in modern life and the younger age of using electronic products have become the main reasons for children’s myopia. To eliminate the occurrence and development of myopia, we should rely on the correct guidance and supervision of parents and daily scientific prevention and treatment. Professional enterprises and institutions provide professional products and solutions for myopia treatment and prevention.
