Question
A friend or colleague’s child has either developed myopia or astigmatism. My child also loves playing mobile games and I’m worried he might get ophthalmic diseases too. How should I take care of his eyes?
Answer
In recent years, the incidence of myopia in children has been on the rise. Prolonged use of computers, televisions, and reading can lead to eye fatigue in children, triggering various diseases. Children’s corneas are very fragile and require careful care.
- Teach your child how to use their eyes correctly. Parents should teach their children how to use their eyes correctly, which will be very beneficial for protecting their eyes. Maintain the correct posture during reading and writing tasks: sit up straight, tilt your head slightly, don’t stare at the book; don’t read while lying down or walking; don’t read in too bright or too dark light.
