Diet + eye health = good vision

Hospital roaring business, myopic children how much


On Friday, the Beijing children\'s Hospital eye clinic for doctors, this is a fairly ordinary day. Reporters at two o\'clock in the afternoon when Bell arrived at the children\'s Hospital eye clinic was told that afternoon registered places are full. According to a nurse told reporters that, parents worry about hanging up, registered Windows 7 in the morning a day queuing up before long team. Looking around, reporters found waiting Chair on the aisle, corridor, front of the room, without exception, is crowded with a lot of parents and children, including, of course, there are many \"small glasses\". A 6 year old child\'s parents told reporters that don\'t look at her small children, \"glasses\" the history already has 1 year. Look at these children but five or six years old, the nose last with thick glasses, but full of energy to fight on in the hallway of the hospital to go to, really do not know what to say funny is worrying.


It is understood that the eye is one of the most-in all children\'s hospital outpatient clinic. Usually to the eye clinic of doctor two-fifths children are myopic, and a holiday to this ratio will rise to four-fifths. \"Most of the time, day may have more than 400 kids eyes. \"A nurse told reporters. Not long ago, women and children\'s eye health center staff on Tianjin urban area of Tianjin, and County 57 kindergartens 10,362 were eyesight screening results showed children aged, 6.82% children under 5 years of poor eyesight, children under 6 years of 14.38% low vision, and there are 10.61% children under 6 years of decline compared with their eyesight at the age of 5.


Faced with these data, Director of the children\'s Hospital Ophthalmology Yu Gang as he told journalists visiting more than 20 years of experience, myopia in children is indeed more and more now, and clearly in the development of younger age. According to Director said that in addition to genetic factors, use eye health and eye No rest for sustainability is the main cause of myopia in children, and \"bad eating habits will also be contributing to myopia in children\" is being accepted more and more experts.


Bad eating habits, catalyst for myopia


Modern medical research proved that myopia disease and eye wall of the outer variable convex about lack of robustness of the sclera and lens. Wants to restore vision after suffering from myopia, either glasses or select operation, have no alternative. So you want to stay away from myopia, protection and prevention is the top priority. Some experts think, poor eating habits is a catalyst for myopia, it will tear eye myopia prevention layer, this is really any scientific basis?


Experts say:


Director of the Beijing children\'s Hospital Ophthalmology Yu Gang


Reasonably adjusting the diet to prevent myopia does have a certain role. He said, children are is growth development period, eye wall very weak, and now of children are eat was comparison critical, also does not note diet nutrition of balanced, intake of protein, and inorganic salts, and vitamin and the trace elements cannot full meet eyes on nutrition of need, eye wall of toughness and forming sexual on has may occurs change, further effect it of normal physiological function, even led eye outside convex, before and after from elongated, formation myopia and encourages myopia of of deepened. Calcium elements in ocular growth must, for example, it is not only directly affects the skeletal development of the child, once missing also makes the eye wall of loss of normal flexibility, increased pressure in orbit, causing occurrence of myopia and heavier.

Diet nutrition scale is an important factor in causing myopia. Because the partial eclipse, finicky in children is prevalent in, parents are condoning, for children to eat a lot of high-fat foods high in calories, vitamins, minerals are generally missing. Eye development with the development of the human body is a token, pay attention to nutrient balance, if you are missing a certain nutrient elements, eyes appear like \"sick\" response. The professor used such a phenomenon to prove his point, the incidence of myopia in children much more than rural children, one of the reasons is the urban household standard of living generally higher than in the countryside, this relative of \"nutrition\" but more prone to myopia in children.


Director of the Beijing children\'s Hospital Ophthalmology Yu Gang


To children\'s vision health, it is recommended that parents should pay attention to give the child a reasonable nutrition, do not let them develop a fussy, habits of partial eclipse. Let them eat more vegetables, attention to eat more whole grains and weight mix and diversity of food, and limiting animal fat and high sugar content of foods, get rid of bad eating habits of children is widespread.


What are the bad eating habits?


All sorts of bad eating habits of children unconsciously influence the function of the eye, what are these bad eating habits? A case study of the most common:


1. the excessive fatty and sweet food;
2. partial eclipse, and fussy, particularly to eat vegetables to performance;
3. the staple essence, very little roughage eating or not eating at all.


According to nutrition experts, closely related to the eyes of nutrients including vitamin a, vitamin B1 and B2, vitamin d, vitamin e, calcium, zinc, chromium, and so on. It is obvious that in the daily diet, these nutrients are objects that are needed, if unnoticed poor eating habits and attention to, leads to the loss of these nutrients.


Eye health, vision health protection


Reasonable diets can improve eye function, reduce the incidence of myopia in children, but this is not the only protection. For children, schoolwork burden heavier, and the popularity of television, computer is the most important factors of vision acuity. Visual burden, caused myopia eyes nervous easily. Therefore, attention to eye health, do not continue for a long time eye, reducing eye strain for eye protection is more important.


Change the way a game: modern urban children\'s games mostly-indoor amused himself, such as a personal toy, game consoles, computers, televisions and other; the rare children\'s spontaneous outdoor set

Games such as hide and seek, attack the Castle, so that children have little spare time was almost confined at home, very little opportunity to every day out of the near environment. For this reason, parents and teachers should encourage children to change the way games and do more outdoor activities.

Attention to eye health: reading distance between eyes and book when gestures to correct, cannot lay reading or walking; note that the reading of illumination light to full, the job should not be too long a time, read and write after 45 minutes, should be a 10-minute break or looking into the distance, the ciliary muscle proper rest. Also may make the eye exercises. Do not lie on the bed, reading, not road cars and started reading books, even in strong sunlight or darkness under the street lamp for reading, writing, let alone under the close watch TV for a long time, so as not to cause visual fatigue and adjust the tension. Not too much addicted to video games, computer, television.


Attention to eye health: adherence to do eye exercises every day, Crystal vision therapy gymnastics, self massage, mist (wearing glasses as far as +1.50D).


Myopia in children wear glasses SA errors


Error: glasses wearing darker, wearing picked up the


Some people believe that glasses more deeper and deeper, and once the glasses picked out. Therefore, these people would rather not see distant objects, narrowed things without glasses. In fact, this way of thinking and practices is wrong. As we all know, myopia see things get closer than most people can see clearly that object from the eye closer and stronger regulation of ciliary muscle. In order to see clearly the immediate object, extraocular muscle contraction make eye turn collection role object from the eye closer and role have the stronger the collection. If long term use in patients with myopia and regulation of the collection, can also cause visual fatigue, if this State does not relieve, extraocular muscle long oppression of the eyeball will affect children\'s eye development, causing the eye before and after the trail continues to lengthen, deepening myopia. Therefore, wear appropriate glasses can not only enhance vision, but also ease the excessive collection and regulation to reduce visual fatigue.


Myth II: computer optometry is the only optical service based


Computer optometry can rapidly determination of refractive errors of the degrees, providing more accurate distance between diopter and the number of pupils in recent years has been optical service by people as the most convenient and quickest method. However, if the determination of number of diopters computer was inappropriate as the only basis for optical service. Because the refractometer accuracy affected by many factors, such as patients with head and eye coordination is not good, swaying back and forth; target focused enough in the eyes optometry apparatus, relaxing regulation not sth These will affect the diopter check the accuracy of the results. For children, regulation of ciliary muscle itself has a very strong, that some children had a false eye over myopia, test the error will be larger with Refractometer, measured the degree is often higher than of retinoscopy optometry degree or even check out the number of diopters. Therefore, computer optometry cannot replace retinoscopy optometry and lens correction technology, but provides useful reference to the latter, after comparing different optometry analysis data is the most correct method for determining optical service.


Myth three: children\'s distribution mirror vision to achieve after 1.5


All the people who wear glasses only objective, is to see it more clearly, but not all people know wears glasses is not clearly seen, the better. To patients with mild myopia correction should not be excessive, to give them eyes normally regulate space, to avoid visual fatigue. Is in principle a minimum of myopia achieved best corrected Visual acuity results, the vision to 1. At present, the children due to eye health, pseudo high incidence of myopia, after Mydriasis optometry must distinguish between true and false of myopia and astigmatism in degrees. If it is a pseudo-myopia will not have to wear glasses; if it is a true myopia, vision correction also is 1-well, not require 1.5, as this would increase the regulation of load, excessive regulation and will let ciliary muscle strains, long-term it will cause visual fatigue caused the depth development of myopia.


Special reminder: vision loss should promptly to the hospital for examination, treatment.


Women and children\'s health center in Tianjin eye doctors also remind our parents, eye examination once every two or three months the children, the Mydriatic Retinal optometry, maximum amount of time to maintain once a year, to detect child eye problems. At the same time also to observe the performance of the child, if children like close to watching TV, nystagmus, head-narrow exception, to see such phenomena should be attention in a timely manner.
