On the occasion of the 27th national "eye care day" on June 6 this year, the national comprehensive prevention and control of children and young people's myopia parents' propaganda group of the Ministry of Education issued the following proposals to parents and friends across the country: first, create an eye care atmosphere. Parents are encouraged to actively understand the knowledge of scientific eye care, cooperate with the school to actively participate in the scientific activities of myopia prevention and control and explain to the children. We should encourage parents to set an example, reduce their dependence on mobile phones, computers, online games, etc., take the lead in not being a "bow head", correctly guide and demonstrate, and increase parent-child time. II. Control electronic products. Parents are encouraged to strengthen the supervision and management of children's use of electronic products, select appropriate electronic screens, and reasonably control the time of using electronic products. When using electronic products, follow the "20-20-20" formula. After watching the screen for 20 minutes, look 20 feet (6 meters) away for at least 20 seconds. III. improve the lighting environment. Parents are encouraged to create a good learning lighting environment for their children. When the light is insufficient during the day, turn on the lights in time to make up for the light. When studying at night, use the desk lamp and the room ceiling lamp at the same time. The desk lamp is placed in front of the opposite side of the writing hand, and the light source is slightly lower than the eye height. IV. increase outdoor activities. Parents are encouraged to create a good family sports atmosphere, participate in physical exercises with children, encourage, guide and support children to master 1-2 sports skills, and ensure that children have at least 2 hours of outdoor activities every day. At weekends, try to take the children into the nature and bathe in the sun to prevent myopia. 5. Correct reading and writing posture. Parents should be encouraged to correct their children's bad reading and writing posture, so as to achieve "one foot, one fist and one inch". The continuous eye use time for reading and writing shall not exceed 40 minutes. Avoid walking, eating and reading in the shaking carriage. Vi. reduce the extra-curricular burden. Parents are encouraged to actively cooperate with schools to reduce their children's homework burden and off-school training burden. They should not blindly participate in extra-curricular training and follow the trend. They should make reasonable choices according to their children's interests and hobbies to avoid school burden reduction and family burden increase. VII. Ensure sleep and diet. Parents are encouraged to ensure that children have sufficient sleep time, including 10 hours for primary school students, 9 hours for junior high school students and 8 hours for senior high school students, so as to help children develop good work and rest habits and ensure balanced dietary nutrition. VIII. Pay attention to eyesight. Parents are encouraged to pay close attention to children's visual changes and abnormal signs of eyes, regularly check their eyesight, and achieve early detection, early intervention and early correction. If children are found to squint, squint, frown and wink unconsciously, they should go to regular medical institutions in time and follow the doctor's advice to prevent and treat myopia scientifically. 9. Beware of shortsightedness scams. Parents are encouraged not to believe in false propaganda such as "myopia can be cured", "degree reduction" and "eye treatment device", so as to avoid delaying the best treatment period for children.
