Cai Jingjing, director of the Department of Optometry and Pediatric Ophthalmology at the General Hospital of Foshan Aier Eye Hospital in Guangdong, said recently that there are many reasons for children's myopia early. In addition to genetic factors, they also read and write prematurely, like to play computer games, and often "brush" iPad. Related to mobile phones and other "small screen" electronic products. If not controlled in time, it is easy to develop into high myopia.
The boy Ruirui (a pseudonym) discovered in the fourth grade that it was 200 degrees when there was myopia, and the words written on the blackboard by the teacher were not clear. "I went to the hospital for review after wearing glasses for a year and found that the degree had soared 125 degrees."
In fact, a situation like the boy Ruirui is not uncommon. The boy Xianxian (pseudonym) also started wearing glasses when he was in the fourth grade. By the first grade, myopia had soared to 600 degrees.
"It has been found clinically that although many children have experienced wearing glasses, they have deepened the degree quickly due to their bad eye habits. Especially after the epidemic, the children's short-sightedness is easy to deepen after a long period of'net class' learning . "Cai Jingjing said that after myopia, the average annual growth of 50 to 75 degrees. Ruirui and Xianxian belong to the myopia degree that grows too fast, so they need to go to the hospital for follow-up consultation and listen to the doctor's advice.

In addition, parents need to remind their children to maintain good eye habits and posture. If the degree of myopia deepens too quickly, go to the ophthalmology hospital for scientific treatment.
