What to do if your baby has poor eyesight

The importance of vision to humans is self-evident. If a person has poor eyesight, it will affect his or her education and may even cause him or her to lose many jobs. Under normal circumstances, as long as you develop good eye habits from an early age, eat more foods that help protect your eyes, and get enough rest, there will generally be no major problems with your eyes. Of course, it is not ruled out that some infants and young children are born with poor eyesight. So what should these babies do?

Chromium and selenium supplementation

When there is a lack of chromium, the insulin regulation function will be affected, blood sugar will rise, the osmotic pressure of the lens and aqueous humor will increase, the refraction will increase and cause myopia. Therefore, you should eat more chromium-containing foods, such as beef, semolina, brown rice, grapes, mushrooms, shiitake mushrooms, white fungus, black fungus, etc.

Keep your spirits up

Emotional illness is a unique theory in traditional Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that anxiety and tension will significantly aggravate visual fatigue, thus leading to myopia. Many people develop myopia during their middle school years when their studies are the most stressful, which is enough to prove that stress is not good for vision health. Children cannot express themselves verbally and are often considered to have no independent thoughts and consciousness. Some elders treat children as happy pills and often tease them in an irritating way or use high-pressure methods to make children receive early education. These may become inducements to myopia.

Pay attention to your posture when using electronic products

Looking at electronic products for a long time with inappropriate posture can cause serious harm to children's eyes. However, many children like to look at electronic products such as computers, televisions, etc. at close range. Parents should correct their children's posture in time. The distance between the computer screen and the child should be kept at 40-50 cm and at the same level. And tell your children to blink more often or close their eyes to rest so that their eyes can get a good rest.

Masseter muscle training is good for protecting eyesight

Children who often eat harder foods have significantly higher intelligence and vision than children who often eat soft foods such as cakes. Regular exercise of the masseter muscles can not only improve brain health, but also significantly enhance vision and treat myopia.

Develop good hygiene habits

Parents should make sure their children develop good hygiene habits when facing the computer for a long time so as not to allow bacteria to enter. On the one hand, don't let children bring snacks to the computer as they can easily get their hands dirty. When children look at the computer, their eyes tend to become dry and itchy, and they will rub their eyes unconsciously. In this way, if your hands are not clean, it is easy to spread bacteria

Get into eyes and cause eye infection.

Play outdoors for 3 hours every day

An Australian trial on the prevalence of myopia among six-year-old children found that among children who spent a total of three hours outdoors a day, the myopia rate was only 0.8%, while among children who spent a total of one hour outdoors a day, the myopia rate was 3%. Australian researchers speculate that when doing outdoor activities, sunlight will stimulate the eyes to secrete a chemical substance that can prevent the eyeball from growing longer. If this substance is lacking, the eyeball will grow into an oval shape and will cause myopia. Therefore, getting more sun exposure and stimulating the secretion of this chemical substance can prevent myopia.
