Mothers should pay attention to the fact that excessive early education leads to children's myopia. Don't let the children lose at the starting line? It is the mantra of many mothers. More children join the ranks of early education, drawing, reading and playing the piano. These close-up eye activities advance children's vision development. These early education may make children highly nearsighted when they grow up, and may even lead to retinal degeneration or detachment, increasing the risk of glaucoma.

Excessive early education causes children to suffer from myopia in advance.

Children's myopia has indeed become younger. ? In the past, there was almost no myopia in kindergartens. Now, more than 5% of children in some large classes have myopia of more than 50 degrees, especially those who played the piano since childhood. ? Jin Ji believes that the best refractive state for large class children is hyperopia of 150~200 degrees, and it is less likely to become nearsighted in the future.

Experts remind that children's eyes from 0 to 5 years old is an important development period. Excessive early education and too much close use of eyes will harm the development of eyes. I once treated a 3.5-year-old patient. After optometry, he was found to have myopia of 100 degree and no mydriasis. The normal vision of a 3-year-old child should be hyperopia of about 150 degrees. It turns out that parents require their children to paint 1~2 hours a day in order to cultivate their children's painting talent. In the long run, physiological hyperopia, which will disappear for a 7-year-old child, will soon disappear at the age of 3 and a half.

If children like this use their eyes too much, they will be very prone to high myopia in the future and may also suffer from other eye diseases. ? Jinji thinks there is nothing wrong with early education, but he still hopes to follow the law of eyeball development. While developing children's intelligence in the early stage, don't over-develop children's eyesight. For example, playing the piano can be postponed for several years if it is only to cultivate children's interest in music; The so-called intensive eye use, it is best to postpone it until after the age of 5. ?

Children under small classes should watch less TV, and if they must watch it, don't watch it for more than 20 minutes every day; Children from small classes to large classes should spend no more than 40 minutes a day and take a break every 20 minutes. You can do eye exercises. If you can't do it, close your eyes and rest. You can also look far away, don't look in the dark, and reduce the time children spend using computers. At the same time, outdoor ball games such as table tennis, badminton and football can effectively prevent myopia, and can also take children to fly kites outdoors, which helps children relax their eyes.
