How to protect eyes for children

When babies are young, they should not only pay attention to their bodies, but also protect their eyes. Many parents do not pay attention to this aspect, which leads to myopia and astigmatism in their children, which is very harmful to their eyes. Although babies do not read books or watch TV when they are young, their eyes will still be damaged if they are not careful. How can young children protect their eyes?

Many people are not very clear about how to protect young children's eyes. There are good ways to protect young children's eyes, and these are also what parents need to do. The following is a detailed introduction so that parents can know what to do.

How to protect eyes for young children:

1. Adequate lighting

The lighting should be sufficient and comfortable. (If the light is too weak, the font cannot be seen clearly and myopia will increase as you read more.)

2. Avoid reflections

Desks should be equipped with side lights to reduce glare and reduce damage to the eyes.

3. Don’t spend too much time reading

Whether doing homework or watching TV, the time should not be too long. It is best to take a short break every hour or so.

4. Sit upright

Do not hunch over, sit too close to the desk, or lie down while doing your homework. This can easily cause excessive tension in the ciliary muscles and lead to fatigue, which can lead to myopia.

5. Reading distance should be moderate

The standard distance between books and eyes is 30 centimeters, and the height of tables and chairs should also be adapted to the body and should not be forced.

6. Don’t watch TV too close

When watching TV, you should keep a distance of six to eight times the diagonal of the TV screen and take a short break every hour.

7. Sleep is essential and work and rest should be regular

Lack of sleep can easily cause fatigue and pseudomyopia.

8. Do more outdoor sports

Often look into the distance to relax the eye muscles and prevent myopia. Get in touch with nature more often. Green mountains and green fields are beneficial to the health of the eyes.

9. Nutritional intake should be balanced

Do not be picky about food and pay special attention to the intake of B vitamins (germ vegetables, oatmeal, yeast).

The above is a detailed introduction on how to protect young children’s eyes. These are what parents should pay attention to. When it comes to protecting young children’s eyes, it is important to do so over a long period of time, and let the baby develop good living habits, so that he will gradually learn how to protect his eyes and know how to make his own choices.
