The culprit of 2-and-a-half-year-old myopia of 900 degrees was a mobile phone
4hw.com.cn: on June 6, the reporter of Modern Express learned from Yangzhou maternal and child health hospital that Xiaoman (a pseudonym), a 2-and-a-half-year-old girl, was 900 degrees nearsighted because she often looked at her mobile phone.
Recently, Dr. Liu Yu, head of children's Ophthalmology, otolaryngology department of Yangzhou maternal and child health hospital, received a 2-and-a-half-year-old girl Xiaoman. Liu Yu found that Xiaoman always habitually frowns and squints. Xiaoman's parents said that their children have had this symptom for nearly a year. They didn't care much because they thought it was a bad habit. However, the next examination was surprising. After mydriatic optometry, Liu Yu found that Xiaoman was 900 degrees nearsighted.
According to Liu Yu, Xiaoman's elders doted on her. In order to coax her children, her family showed her her mobile phone since she was about 1 year old. Xiaoman is very quiet every time she looks at her mobile phone, so her family lets her watch it for a long time every time.
Liu Yu said that it was the premature and long-term use of electronic products that caused serious consequences for Xiaoman. Unfortunately, Xiaoman's high myopia is irreversible. Perhaps the degree of myopia will deepen with age.
The reporter of Modern Express learned from Yangzhou maternal and child health care hospital that since this year, Yangzhou maternal and child health care hospital has conducted vision screening for more than 40 kindergartens in Yangzhou. At present, 15000 children aged 3-6 have been examined, and the abnormal vision rate is about 12%. Visual abnormalities include strabismus, amblyopia and myopia. The incidence rate of myopia and amblyopia has increased. Liu Yu told the modern express that during the screening, it was found that most of these children with abnormal vision have the habit of watching TV and contacting electronic products for a long time.
Doctors suggest that children under the age of 3 should not prematurely contact mobile phones, tablets and other electronic products. 3-6 years old should not use electronic products for more than 30 minutes a day, preferably within 15 to 20 minutes. Parents should actively guide their children to carry out outdoor activities for more than one hour. It is best to choose ball games.
