2024-08-30

As school approaches, the ophthalmology and dental clinics of major hospitals in Shanghai are experiencing a peak in visits for primary and secondary school students. Many parents are taking their children for vision check ups or teeth correction to prepare for the new semester. At 9 o'clock in the morning, the reporter saw at the ophthalmology clinic of Jinshan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University that many parents brought their children to have their vision checked. Ms. He, a citizen, told reporters that she was worried about eye problems because her son spent more time watching TV and mobile phones at home during the summer vacation. Today, she brought her son to the hospital to see a doctor. It is reported that the outpatient volume of ophthalmology at Jinshan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University has increased three to four times compared to usual recently, and there are many small patients diagnosed with myopia or increased degree. Doctors say that the common causes of myopia in children are genetics and poor eye habits. Among them, bad eye habits account for the majority. Regarding this, Li Tao, chief ophthalmologist of Jinshan Hospital affiliated with Fudan University, stated that relevant treatment and preventive measures should be taken when necessary. For some children who are already nearsighted, we need to take some proactive treatment measures, including using low concentration atropine eye drops, or wearing glasses for myopia prevention and control, including frame glasses or OK glasses. For children who are not nearsighted, more preventive measures need to be taken, mainly correcting their reading and writing posture, doing one fist, one foot, one inch, and requiring children to use their eyes reasonably, intermittently, and have time for outdoor activities. "At the Children's Oral Clinic of Jinshan District Dental Disease Prevention and Treatment Center in Shanghai, there has also been a wave of peak visits recently. The reporter learned that most parents want to cure their children's dental problems before the start of school to avoid affecting their studies and daily life. My daughter is currently in the stage of replacing her baby teeth with new ones. She found that several of her baby teeth are decayed, and the new teeth have not yet grown. Today, she came over to fill the cavities first, and just before the start of school, she had all her teeth fixed Mr. Yu, a citizen, introduced. Xiao Han, the head of the outpatient department at the Jinshan District Dental Disease Prevention and Treatment Institute in Shanghai, stated that dental caries is the most common chronic oral disease among children. Parents should not be careless. If left untreated, it can easily develop into pulpitis and apical periodontitis, seriously affecting children's oral health, learning, and daily life. Moreover, when parents brush their teeth in the morning and evening, they should conduct oral examinations on their children, mainly to check for food impaction, blackened teeth, and gum pus. If any of the above problems occur, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly. (New Society)
