What are the symptoms of myopia in babies? Let's talk about it below. If your baby has these symptoms, you should pay attention to it. It may be that there is something wrong with your baby's eyes. Do you want to know how to judge whether your baby's eyes are abnormal? Please see the detailed introduction below.

What are the symptoms of myopia in babies?

1. Frequent frowning. Seeing this, some parents may be confused. What does frowning have to do with myopia? According to relevant studies, some children with reduced vision or myopia love to frown. This is actually a natural reaction when they want to see things clearly. Because they can't see things clearly, they frown to improve this problem, but frowning frequently will compress the eye nerves and eyeballs, thereby accelerating the speed of myopia. If parents find that their children have this habit, they should take their children for a vision test to prevent it in advance.

2. Weird posture. If the degree of myopia of the two eyes is very different, one eye can see clearly, but the other eye cannot. In this case, the child can only adjust the posture to see things clearly. Therefore, when parents find that the child's posture is wrong, they should pay attention.

3. Always squint. Why do children squint? Because when they squint, the eyelids will block part of the pupil, thereby reducing the scattering of light and seeing things more clearly. Then why do they blink frequently? Blinking can adjust the curvature of the eyeball, thus making the vision clear.

Baby vision development needs these

1. Protein: As for the sclera, it can become the tough outer shell of the eyeball because it contains a variety of essential amino acids, forming a very strong fibrous tissue. Although the sclera has a certain degree of toughness, it is still relatively weak in the anterior-posterior diameter of the eye axis.

2. Calcium: Calcium is the main component of bones and the main component of sclera. A high calcium content plays a major role in enhancing the toughness of the sclera.

3. Zinc: Myopic patients are generally deficient in chromium and zinc. They should eat more foods rich in zinc. Foods such as soybeans, almonds, seaweed, kelp, yellow croaker, flour, tea, meat, liver, etc. contain more zinc and chromium, so they can be increased appropriately.

4. Vitamins: They are essential nutrients for the human body. Although the human body needs them in small quantities, they play an extremely important role in the metabolism of human substances and energy. When using dietary therapy to treat myopia, more vitamins A, B1, B2, C and E should be appropriately supplemented.

Causes of eye abnormalities in children

1. Too much close-up

In the city, high-rise buildings one after another limit people's vision. In addition, children in cities spend less time outside, and most of the time people can only see things within 5 meters. There is a lack of environment that can provide children with a far view, so there is no need to use farsightedness. Therefore, their farsightedness function will become weaker and weaker, and the possibility of suffering from myopia will also increase.

2. Too little time for outdoor activities

Nowadays, living space is too small. Children spend most of their time indoors and rarely go outside to see the open nature. They often use their eyes at close range, but children's eyes are very adaptable and will adjust themselves to this close distance. Moreover, when children spend more time indoors, they have more opportunities to watch TV and play computer games. If they don't pay attention to the distance and posture, it is easy to cause excessive eye fatigue, which will cause children to suffer from myopia.

When playing outdoors, the eyes will automatically adjust to see things at different distances, and the eyes will be used alternately at near and far distances, so that the ciliary muscles of the eyes can be adjusted and will not feel tired. However, for reasons of safety and convenience, parents now let their children play at home in most cases. Even if they invite their children to play together, they still mainly play indoor games. In this way, children use their eyes at close range, which puts a heavy burden on their eyes.

3. Using electronic products too frequently

Nowadays, almost every child has a smartphone. When they have nothing to do, they play games on their phones. When they get home, they turn on their computers to surf the Internet or watch TV. Such frequent exposure to electronic products and the strong light from the electronic screens can strongly stimulate children's eyes. In addition, when using electronic products, the eyes are too close to the screen, which can easily lead to myopia in children. >>Beware! Electronic products can easily cause myopia in babies

4. Improper lighting intensity

Many parents worry that the light is not strong enough and their children cannot see clearly when reading or writing. In fact, ophthalmologists believe that the light for children to read and write is not too dim, but too bright! Too strong light can easily make children's eyes tired. What children need is soft light, and make sure that the light comes from the left front of the child. Therefore, when children read or write at night, they can choose a light that can adjust the brightness and adjust the brightness to a soft level.

5. The paper and printing method of the book are too delicate

As science and technology become more and more advanced, the books used by children are printed more and more beautifully, and the paper used is also more and more exquisite, which makes the books more ornamental, but these beautiful books may also hurt children's eyes. The reflection of coated paper is too strong, which is especially obvious at night and dazzles the eyes. This kind of dazzling light is called glare in medicine, which makes people see things more unclear and makes eyes more easily tired.

6. Wearing glasses too casually

Some parents think their children have myopia, and immediately take them to a rough eye test and then get glasses, thinking that as long as the children can see clearly, everything will be fine. However, without dilation of the pupil for eye test, it is impossible to know the child's accurate degree of myopia, nor whether the child has true or false myopia. Some children originally have false myopia, which can be restored to normal through functional training, but parents go directly to the optical shop to get them a pair of glasses without dilation of the pupil. In this way, his eyes have to adjust themselves to adapt to the light entering the eyeball through the glasses. During the long-term adaptation process, the eyeball slowly changes, which will become true myopia, or accelerate the progression of myopia.

7. Myopia glasses have too high a degree

When fitting glasses for children, many parents ask for them to be fitted with glasses that allow the child to see very clearly, such as 1.2-1.5. In fact, this is not good. An experienced optician will first ask the child where he sits in class. If he sits in the first or second row, a corrected vision of about 0.8 is sufficient. Even if he sits in the back row, he only needs to be able to see 1.0 after fitting the glasses, and he will not be fitted with glasses above 1.2. In this way, the degree of myopia of the child will not increase, or it will increase very slowly. On the contrary, if the child is required to be able to see as far as 1.5 as soon as he is fitted with glasses, and uses these glasses to read and write, the degree of his glasses next year will definitely increase significantly.

Nowadays, there are more and more electronic products, and the probability of children suffering from myopia is getting higher and higher. Because it is very necessary for children to have good eyesight, parents must pay attention and be careful about the problems introduced above. Vision problems should not be underestimated.
