At present, "small myopia" is not uncommon among children under the age of 6.
0-6 years old is a critical period for early myopia prevention and control, and more and more attention is paid to children's myopia.
Last week, a survey of 1,532 parents of children aged 0-6, conducted by the Social Survey Center of China Youth Daily and wenjuan.com, showed that only 45.8% of the parents of children surveyed had completely normal vision.
Electronic products do not leave the hands, use the eyes for a long time without rest, and use the eyes at close range to be accused of causing myopia in children.
73.8% of the parents surveyed hoped to promote the establishment and popularization of vision health electronic records.

Ling Li introduced that there is no TV at home, and the only projector has not been turned on since the child was born. "I try not to play with electronic products for my child, and usually read picture books with my child."
Hangzhou's post-80s mother Bi Jie's child is 4 years old. Not long ago, she took her child to a specialist hospital for optometry. "The vision is still in the normal range, but the hyperopia reserve is obviously insufficient."
She said that children play with tablets and watch TV every day. "They play tablets 2-3 times a day for 20 minutes each time. They mainly watch early childhood education apps, and also watch some entertainment content."
The son of Tao Zhiyuan, born in the 1980s in Nanchang, is 5 years old and is in the middle class of kindergarten.
He said frankly that he had never measured his children's eyesight.
Children learn English, watch cartoons, and watch tablets for more than an hour every day.

Keeping electronic products in hand is accused of being the first phenomenon that is not conducive to children's vision development
"Every family with a baby knows that the tablet is an artifact to coax their baby. Many parents comfort their children, and even the main way to bring their baby is to play with electronic products. When I go to the hospital, I can always see parents queuing for treatment, children Swipe your phone next to me." Bi Jie said.
Cheng Yun's child from Hubei is about to enter the first grade of primary school and especially likes to play online games.
Usually, she will restrain the child appropriately, "but it depends on him whether he listens or not."
During the holidays, Cheng Yun will not limit, "play as long as you want".
She said frankly that children sometimes spend half a day on it, and they can play on average for more than two hours a day during holidays.
What are the common phenomena in life that are not conducive to children's vision development?
The data shows that electronic products are ranked first, with 69.8% of the parents surveyed choosing this option.
Xie Like, deputy director of the Eye Hospital of the Chinese Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences, said that the incidence of myopia is getting higher and higher, and it is younger, and the main reason is the use of electronic products.
"Now in public places, whether it's airports, high-speed rail stations, or subway stations, the most common common action for adults and children is to look at mobile phones. There are a lot of programs in electronic products that can attract children's attention and interest. I think electronic products are the cause of myopia. A key factor in high incidence and increasingly younger age."
Wei Jun from Beijing has two sons, the eldest is 7 years old and the second is 3 years old, both of whom are short-sighted.
He told reporters that he especially regretted that he started to cultivate children's interest in learning early. The children learned Chinese and English at a very young age and started the "chicken baby" mode.
Children also have a strong interest in electronic products.
Now the boss has more than 100 degrees of myopia.
Cheng Yun felt that using eyes for a long time is very common in many children, and the scientific knowledge of eye use is not enough.
"Sometimes we're driving out and the kids are playing games on the tablet or reading comic books. The bumpy scenes are especially bad for the eyes."
The phenomenon that is not conducive to children's vision development, 63.8% of the interviewed parents pointed out that they use their eyes for a long time without rest, 51.4% of the interviewed parents said that they used their eyes at close range for a long time, such as reading and painting, and 50.0% of the interviewed parents felt yes There are few outdoor activities.
Others include: occasions when one does not pay attention to eye use, such as riding in a car, when the room is dark (43.2%), poor sitting posture (33.2%), and fond of sweets (23.0%).
Xie Like pointed out that excessive learning is an important cause of myopia in some young children.
"Last week, I communicated with a friend. Now many preschool children have reached level 3 in English and can recite many Tang and Song poems. Parents pay too much attention to their children's knowledge and grasp their learning too much, which is also one of the reasons for their eyesight decline. big reason".
In addition, he mentioned that less time spent outdoors is another key factor in the formation of myopia.
73.8% of the parents surveyed want to promote the establishment and popularization of electronic files for vision health
"I hope the school will urge children to do eye exercises correctly and actively, popularize scientific eye habits and eye hygiene, and organize regular vision screenings. Provide children with more and more interesting outdoor activities. I read the news two days ago, and one day In order to prevent students from being short-sighted, the school has raised more than a dozen squirrels in the school, which attracts children to go to see them after class. It increases the children's outdoor activities and protects their eyes. This method is very good." Ling Li said.
Ye Qian from Ganzhou, Jiangxi is a high school teacher and her child goes to primary school.
She especially hopes that teachers can assign less homework on electronic products.
"Now the amount of homework is reduced, but it often takes more than half an hour to complete. I am very worried that it will affect the child's eyesight, and I am afraid that he will develop the habit of playing with mobile phones."
Ye Qian hopes to encourage the development of visual inspection institutions for minors, "especially the normalized professional vision inspection institutions for young children. At present, children's vision inspections mainly go to hospitals or eye clinics. The former is difficult to register and has many people, while the latter is worried about not enough specialized".
She also hopes to build more public sports venues so that children can have more places to exercise and relax.
To prevent myopia in children aged 0-6, 73.8% of the interviewed parents hope to promote the establishment and popularization of vision health electronic files, 72.0% of the interviewed parents believe that it is necessary to publicize the importance of parents attaching importance to children's myopia prevention, and 66.5% of the interviewed parents 50.8% of the parents surveyed believed that the coverage of eye care and vision examinations should be improved.
In Xie Like's view, the prevention and control of myopia is a problem of the whole society, and it should be "group prevention and treatment".
"The country, society, schools, hospitals, families and individuals must have a full understanding."
He believes that it is necessary to change the test-oriented education environment and take ability as the focus of talent training.
"When I recruit graduate students and doctoral students, grades are secondary. I pay more attention to students' personal ability and research and development ability, which is far more important than academic performance on paper."
Xie Like strongly hopes that the media can strengthen the appeal to increase people's attention to the myopia of minors, and create an atmosphere for everyone to prevent myopia in the society.
"I found that many children think that myopia is an indifferent thing. Let children know that myopia is an unhealthy eye. It is very important to establish a correct understanding from the mind."
