Recently, Shishi Maternal and Child Health Hospital held a campaign themed "Eye Care Day" with the slogan of "Eyeful Life, Caring for a Better Life from Childhood, and Seeing the World as the Old Guard", respectively in the hospital eye care clinic, kindergartens and childcare institutions, to further appeal to the whole society to enhance the awareness of eye care and popularize the scientific and health knowledge of eye health for all people.
June 6, 2024 is the 29th National "Eye Care Day". This year's theme is "Pay attention to universal eye health", focusing on children, adolescents and the elderly. Shishi Maternal and Child Health Hospital played its advantages and held a series of activities. According to the person in charge of the relevant department of the hospital, 0-6 years old is the key period of vision development, and more than 95% of children aged 3-6 years old spend their time in kindergartens. This stage is the key period of eye health care and the best treatment period for strabismus and amblyopia. In order to implement myopia prevention, the "gateway" was moved forward to the early school age. The hospital took the "Eye Care Day" as an opportunity to carry out special lectures on "children's eye care" for parents, increase science publicity and education on myopia prevention and control, carry out free vision assessment for children, and at the same time let children participate in interesting interactive games to experience the daily work of ophthalmologists in person, Let children feel the importance of caring for their eyes.
In the publicity activities of the hospital's eye care clinic, ophthalmologists conducted eye disease screening for infants and young children, carried out a free fundus photography activity of "a piece of fundus for eye care", invited children to participate in interactive activities, experienced becoming a "little optometrist", helped parents do eye examinations, and received small gifts.
The doctor reminds us to take care of our eyes from a young age. Children and adolescents should insist on at least 2 hours a day (at least 14 hours a week) of outdoor activities in the daytime, which can not only prevent myopia, but also relax and strengthen the body; At ordinary times, we should maintain correct reading and writing posture and adhere to the "3010 rule", that is, we should avoid using our eyes for a long time in close proximity. When reading, writing or using electronic products for learning, we should combine work and rest. We should use electronic products scientifically, use our eyes continuously for about 30 minutes, and take a 5-10 minute rest. We can look into the distance, go outdoors or do eye exercises.
