June 6th is the World Eye Care Day, and it is also the 1 1 national eye care day. This morning, the reporter learned from yantai mountain hospital, Yuhuangding Hospital and other medical institutions that since the beginning of summer, patients with eye discomfort and even pathological changes have been constantly wearing inferior sunglasses.
On "Eye-Love Day", experts remind the public to pay attention to the following matters when wearing sunglasses.
First, see if there is an anti-ultraviolet sign on the sunglasses. Sunglasses with "100% UV protection", "UV400" and "UV protection" on the lens or packaging should be selected; Secondly, pay attention to whether the color of the surrounding environment is distorted and the edge of the object is clear after wearing glasses. You should choose glasses with undistorted colors, clear edges and undistorted images. Thirdly, in terms of lens color, gray, brown and green absorb infrared and ultraviolet rays better. Drivers should pay special attention to whether they can effectively identify traffic lights of different colors after wearing sunglasses. At the same time, experts suggest not to choose dark lenses, to avoid wearing sunglasses for too long or regardless of time and occasion, which will increase the burden on the eyes, cause eye muscle tension, blurred vision, and even dizziness and long-term inability to see.
On June 6th every year, the origin of the festival about people liking eyes.
June 6th this year is the 10th National Eye Care Day. In order to further publicize the knowledge of preventing blindness in like eyes, promote children and adolescents to develop good eye hygiene habits, and further promote the work of preventing blindness in the whole society, the theme of this year's Eye Love Day is to prevent myopia and cherish the light. However, how much do people know about eye care?
Love life as much as you love your eyes, and love your eyes as much as you love your life. It's a pity that your eye care situation is not optimistic, and you have even fallen into a quagmire. An authoritative survey released in 2004 shows that the incidence of myopia among adolescents in China is as high as 50% ~ 60%, accounting for 33% of the total number of myopia patients in the world. Much higher than China's share of the world's total population, which accounts for 22%. However, a recent survey of 3,489 students in six primary and secondary schools in Beijing suburbs by the National Steering Group for the Prevention and Treatment of Blindness and the ophthalmologists of Beijing Tongren Hospital showed that only half of the students with poor eyesight (accounting for 53% of the total number) had worn glasses, while only 42. 1% insisted on wearing glasses.
If you are nearsighted but don't wear glasses, isn't that taboo? Experts generally believe that if myopia reaches a certain level, you should wear glasses. /kloc-Mild myopia below 0/00 degrees generally does not need to wear glasses, but the premise is that you are not tired of seeing the blackboard. Of course, there may be reasons for not wearing glasses, but those reasons are inappropriate and fragile. For example, some students and parents worry that wearing glasses will make the degree deeper and deeper, while others worry that once they wear glasses, they will not be able to take them off. In fact, this kind of worry is unfounded and completely unnecessary. At present, wearing frame glasses is still the most effective way to correct ametropia. As for the other reasons that the survey shows that students don't wear glasses, some are unaware of the decline in vision, and they don't know that they are nearsighted until the school physical examination. Some people refuse to wear glasses for fear of affecting their appearance; Others are afraid of trouble, and their families are poor and can't afford glasses. , should pay more attention to, respectively, reasonable treatment, in order to solve in time. Experts suggest that the vast majority of juvenile myopia belongs to simple myopia. As long as they pay attention to eye hygiene and correct with glasses in time, the development of myopia can be completely controlled. According to data, genetic factors account for 60% of myopia. Environmental factors account for 40%. One or both parents have high myopia, which may be passed on to their children. In the process of children suffering from myopia, the degree may gradually deepen, which is caused by genetic factors and has nothing to do with wearing glasses. Wearing glasses is not only convenient for daily study and life, but also can control the development of myopia to some extent. Science suggests that if you don't wear glasses, blurred retinal imaging will accelerate the development of myopia. If you wear a pair of suitable glasses, you can make the blurred retinal image clear, which not only brings convenience to life and study, but also controls the development of myopia to a certain extent.
Nowadays, juvenile myopia has become a hot issue in society, focusing on prevention, but we should pay more attention to those students who are already nearsighted. In this regard, Shijiazhuang implemented the vision health intervention project, which realized the transformation from prevention to intervention and from passive to active, and opened a bright precedent. The concept of health intervention is put forward for the first time, so as to fully popularize the concept of quality education and awaken the eye protection consciousness of the whole society like eyes. Since the launch of the Shijiazhuang primary and secondary school students' vision health intervention project in September last year, more than 70,000 primary and secondary school students have been provided with free optometry files and vision care cards. With this health card, students can go to the health center of the Education Bureau for vision examination and consultation at any time, and all the information will be written into the students' optometry files. All these files will be kept in the Student Health Center of the Education Bureau, and the optometry files will follow the students until they leave school. It is imperative to let glasses care for their own glasses, which is the trend of the times and deserves attention and implementation as soon as possible.
Of course, wearing glasses can only cure the symptoms, but it is difficult to cure the disease. In order to fundamentally change the worrying situation of eye health care, we must thoroughly implement the concept of eye health care with prevention as the mainstay. Teenagers should first develop good eye habits and limit the use of eyes at close range.
Occasionally use your eyes intermittently; Secondly, we should develop good living habits, ensure adequate sleep time, and have a reasonable diet, especially the intake of essential elements. Experts also pointed out that eye exercises are the simplest and most effective way to prevent myopia, and the key to improve the quality of eye exercises lies in the accurate operation of acupoints. School doctors and teachers should play a supervisory role, so that eye exercises can truly become an effective way to prevent students from myopia. Obviously, theory shows that practice has proved that eye health depends not only on people's understanding of liking eyes, but also on the establishment of eye health care system, the reform of education system and teaching methods, and the standardized management of medical market and glasses market. The national eye protection work needs the support and participation of people from all walks of life.
