7 things that can \”steal\” children\’s vision standards, many parents ignore…

Nowadays, not only are there more and more children wearing glasses, but what’s even more frightening is that they are getting younger and younger. Parents can go to the hospital’s ophthalmology department when they have time. The four-word description is: door! court! like! city! Good vision can affect a baby\’s life. In order to protect their baby\’s eyes, many parents invest a lot of energy and money. But do you know? These few inconspicuous little things are actually quietly damaging your baby\’s visual health. If not intervened in time, the child may be at risk of blindness. 7 things that will \”steal\” your baby\’s vision. Leave the lights on while sleeping. Many parents like to sleep with the lights on for the convenience of taking care of their babies and to increase their baby\’s \”security\”. In fact, sleeping without turning off the lights at night is not only detrimental to the baby\’s visual development, but the continuous light can also damage the baby\’s vision, cause confusion in the rhythm of work and rest, and cause continued tension in the nerves and muscles around the baby\’s eyes. Therefore, the lights should be turned off after the baby falls asleep. If you must turn on the light, you must pay attention to whether the light is soft and not too bright or dazzling. It should not be placed on the baby\’s bedside or shine directly into the baby\’s eyes. In addition, if the baby is crying in the middle of the night, just turn on the night light, do not turn on the headlight immediately. Abnormal eyelid secretion and not paying attention to it When the baby\’s eyes always secrete yellow liquid, increase in tears, and have congestion of the eyelids and conjunctiva, etc., it is necessary to see a doctor to see if he has conjunctivitis. Because conjunctivitis is generally not easy to heal on its own, it will affect the baby\’s vision development if it is delayed for a long time. Therefore, if your baby suffers from conjunctivitis, it is recommended to use tobramycin eye drops (used during the day, once every 2-3 hours) and erythromycin eye ointment (used at night) under the guidance of a doctor. Turn on the bathroom heater light when bathing. In order to prevent the baby from catching cold, many parents often choose to turn on the bathroom heater to maintain the temperature in the bathroom. However, parents ignore a key point – the baby will stare at the light source unconsciously. During the bathing process, the bright light from the bath lamp will pass through the cornea and lens and cause damage to the retina of infants and young children, especially those who lie down in the bath. Therefore, the bath heater can be used, but it must be preheated in advance before bathing the baby. Just turn off the bath heater when bathing the baby. Exposing babies to TV, electronic products, TVs, mobile phones, iPads too early… These electronic products have become \”mufflers\” for many babies. Parents will resort to this trick when their babies cry and don\’t eat properly. As everyone knows, the eyesight of babies under 3 years old is not yet fully developed. Exposing the baby to such products too early can easily cause the baby\’s eyesight to decline sharply. Therefore, Xiaokangjun does not recommend that babies under 3 years old be exposed to electronic products. At this stage, parents can spend more time with their children playing, reading books, and playing parent-child games. Babies aged 3 to 6 years old can watch TV, but the time is best controlled to about half an hour. Children over the age of 7 can slowly come into contact with various electronic products, but they need to strictly regulate viewing and usage time and content. Hanging toys at the bedside When someone brings an object closer to them, the two eyes automatically focus and return to normal after the object is removed. This is a \”skill\” possessed by adults, but it may not be a good thing for babies whose eyes are still developing. Too bright toys and fixed hanging on the babyIn front of the baby, the baby\’s eyes often look at toys and form a focus (similar to cross-eyes). Over time, it is easy to affect the baby\’s normal eye position. Bright colors are more likely to cause eye fatigue in babies, thereby affecting eye coordination. In severe cases, strabismus or cross-eyes may occur. It is recommended that an eye test be done when the baby\’s vision is fully developed at the age of 3, so that early intervention and treatment can be used if problems are found. Use flash when taking photos. The visual system of a newborn baby is very fragile. But the excited mommies always couldn\’t wait to take photos of the baby, and even made the flash click click! Attention! Never let strong light shine directly into your baby\’s eyes to avoid causing imperceptible visual damage. Congenital Eye Diseases Many parents believe that cataracts are an “exclusive disease” for the elderly. As everyone knows, cataracts are congenital. When your baby develops symptoms such as photophobia, black eyes with other colors, poor pursuit of objects, and nystagmus, mothers and fathers must pay attention. Because congenital cataract is the \”killer\” of the eyes, it can occur at any age, and it is extremely harmful to infants and young children. According to statistics, nearly one-third of blind children in my country are related to congenital cataracts. The younger you are when you get the disease, the more serious the consequences! It can range from amblyopia to blindness. Therefore, early detection and early treatment are particularly important. In addition to paying attention to the above things to protect your baby\’s vision, you can also exercise your baby\’s visual development through the following four periods. For example: black and white period (0-6 months): You can place some toys with contrasting black and white colors 20-38 cm in front of the baby\’s eyes; color period (6-12 months): let the baby see more images and images with contrasting colors. Toys; three-dimensional stage (1-3 years old): prepare some plug-in building blocks and inlaid 3D toys for children to guide the baby\’s visual transformation from two-dimensional to three-dimensional and stimulate imagination; spatial stage (3-6 years old): pass Games such as walking through mazes, identifying various signs, flags of various countries, learning maps, and spotting the differences can train children to judge spatial concepts such as the size of objects, up and down, inside and outside, front and back, distance, etc.
