Question
Male, 8 years old, recently noticed that the child likes to watch TV diagonally and always squint when watching TV. Later, after a hospital check-up, it was found that he has mild myopia and strabismus. What should be paid attention to in the diet for nearsightedness?
Answer
Proper diet is crucial for the treatment of nearsightedness. Children with nearsightedness can consume foods rich in calcium, such as shrimp, soybeans, milk, peanuts, etc. Adequate vitamin intake is also essential, including liver and egg yolks. Niacin is also necessary for children with nearsightedness, which can be found in cheese, lean meat, and eggs. Moreover, alkaline foods like apples and kelp also have a certain effect on the treatment of nearsightedness. I hope this information is helpful to you!
