Experts remind school-age children with a high incidence of myopia to pay attention to eye health protection in their learning and daily life

"Myopia is a progressive disease. If children wear glasses at a very young age, they may become highly myopic from 50 degrees, 100 degrees, to 18 years old, and may also suffer from retinal atrophy in adulthood." He Mingguang, a secondary professor at the Sun Yat sen Eye Center of Sun Yat-sen University and a chair professor at Hong Kong Polytechnic University, said bluntly that small glasses, big problems, a seemingly simple myopia, may eventually become a big problem that cannot be corrected. Myopia not only troubles children and adolescents in their daily learning and life, but also worries many parents. With the advent of summer, myopia prevention and control have once again become the focus of social attention. So how should we use our eyes scientifically and stay away from myopia? He Mingguang suggested that the first thing to do is to reduce the burden on children and not only focus on academic performance, but also ignore eye protection; Secondly, encourage children to engage in outdoor activities to alleviate eye fatigue. He Mingguang (left), the second grade professor of the Sun Yat sen Eye Center of Sun Yat-sen University, and the chair professor of Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Cao Susheng (middle), the chairman of Suzhou Elxing Medical Technology Co., Ltd., visited Xinhuanet for the high incidence of myopia among school-age children. According to the data from the French National Health Commission, the overall myopia rate of children and adolescents in 2022 will be 53.6%, including 14.5% for 6-year-old children, 36% for primary school students, 71.6% for junior high school students, and 81% for senior high school students, Myopia has become a common eye health problem nowadays. Clinical studies have shown that children aged 6 to 8, when they first enter primary school, are at a high risk of myopia, and may once again experience a high incidence of myopia during the early stages of primary school. According to national requirements, school-age children should be screened at least twice a year. If a child experiences myopia, it should be checked for progressive myopia. If the progression exceeds 75 degrees per year, attention should be paid and intervention may be needed, "He Mingguang said. When discussing common methods for treating myopia, He Mingguang stated that myopia treatment is generally divided into two categories: drug therapy and optical therapy. Drug treatment is to treat myopia with high or low concentration Atropine Eye drop; There are many types of optical therapy, such as wearing OK lenses. Nowadays, there are still many optical defocusing optical lenses that can also control myopia, "He Mingguang said. After the emergence of red light, in addition to the original two methods of drug treatment and optical control, a light therapy has been added to effectively control myopia through light. Regarding light therapy, Cao Susheng, Chairman of Suzhou Aierxing Medical Technology Co., Ltd., stated that currently, myopia and amblyopia in teenagers and children can be controlled and slowed down by using Aierxing feeding light equipment to slow down the abnormal growth of the eye axis. It is reported that the Ai'erxing Breast Light Instrument belongs to the national certification of Class II medical devices and has obtained a medical device registration certificate; Its light wave has been tested by the National Center for Radiation Safety Testing and belongs to Class 1 light, with a safety level equivalent to natural light. The primary consideration for red light therapy is safety, and it is recommended to combine therapy. In recent years, repeated low intensity red light irradiation as an auxiliary treatment for myopia in children and adolescents has gradually become an expert consensus. So, how does red light prevent and control myopia? He Mingguang explained that the feeding device integrates red light with a beneficial wavelength of about 650 nanometers from natural light to replace natural light, using safe power and effective time to stimulate and improve fundus blood circulation,
