Five important exercises for the eyes of the child, so as not to spoil the eyesight from the computer
As the ophthalmologist, MD, told KP . Igor Aznauryan, according to statistics, every third student finishes school with glasses. And every tenth child by the age of three suffers from acquired strabismus to one degree or another (it appears due to a high degree of farsightedness, but it is almost impossible to see it right away).
The visual system of a child is laid up to three years (but in general it changes, “grows” up to 14 years), and the main eye pathologies can be seen and treated in a timely manner just before this age. That is why ophthalmological examinations are so important.
Unfortunately, the pediatrician may not pay attention to them. And a child at 2-3 years old rarely complains about vision problems, because he does not know how it should be normal.
In order to notice problems in time, you need to visit a pediatric ophthalmologist at 1 month, 6 months, a year, 2 and 3. And then, if there are no problems, you can take a break up to 6 years.
The next period when vision begins to deteriorate rapidly is from 7 to 15 years. First, the workload at school is growing. Secondly, in puberty, a sharp growth of all muscles, including the eyeball, begins. Because of this, vision problems can also begin.
Therefore, at 8-15 years old, a visit to a pediatric ophthalmologist should be at least once a year.
To relieve tension, ophthalmologists often recommend simple exercises for the eyes.
