Summer vacation has arrived, and I believe the children have already made holiday plans to study and rest without any delay. However, while combining work and rest, there is one thing that should not be ignored, which is myopia prevention and control.

Reporter He Huan:

Summer vacation has arrived, and now it has become a time for children to focus on their eyes. The reporter also learned that according to data, every summer or winter vacation is a high incidence period for children's myopia.

During the holidays, many students lack self-control and spend unlimited time playing mobile phones, watching TV, playing games, or reading, doing homework, or spending too much time outside of class. Insufficient outdoor activities result in excessive use of their eyes at close range, leading to myopia or deepening of myopia.

Changchun citizens:

Not paying attention to eye protection, such as watching TV or computer.

Changchun citizens:

Nowadays, when children go to school, they basically assign homework or other tasks, and they all rely on their phones to complete them. Whether you hand out homework or test papers, they are all there. I think it also has a certain impact on children.

According to statistics, after each holiday, 80% to 90% of students with myopia experience a deeper degree of myopia, with an increase mostly between 50 and 75 degrees.

Wang Yanyan, attending ophthalmologist at Jilin Qianwei Hospital:

The doctor said that parents with their children can use this summer vacation to fully rest their eyes, and the most important thing is that parents need to supervise and support their children to engage in outdoor activities.

Wang Yanyan, attending ophthalmologist at Jilin Qianwei Hospital:

The time for outdoor exercise every day shall not be less than two hours; Secondly, when doing homework, attention should be paid to the distance and time of the eyes. Generally, we have an international "20, 20" rule. When using the eyes for about 20 minutes, look 20 meters away from the distance and gaze for about 20 seconds; Thirdly, I suggest that when children use electronic products for learning and playing, the duration of each use should not exceed 15 minutes.
