暑假期间，儿童青少年使用手机、平板电脑等电子产品的频率显著增加，这可能导致他们出现频繁眨眼、揉眼和眼睛干涩等症状，这些可能是干眼症的早期信号。干眼症是一种由于泪膜稳态失衡导致的眼表损害及不适症状，其主要原因是角膜表面泪膜不稳定，导致眼表细胞受损。
干眼症并非老年人的专利，近年来，随着生活方式和用眼习惯的改变，干眼症在儿童青少年中的发病率有所上升。家长应该注意帮助孩子预防干眼症，方法包括合理使用电子产品，避免长时间连续使用，每隔30分钟让眼睛休息；改善生活方式，鼓励孩子多参与户外活动，保持充足的睡眠，减少熬夜；在干燥环境中使用加湿器，保持室内湿度；以及保证营养均衡，多吃新鲜水果蔬菜，足量饮水。
专家提醒，一旦发现孩子出现干眼症状，应及时咨询眼科医生，进行专业诊断和治疗。此外，家长还应关注孩子的用眼卫生，定期检查孩子的视力，确保孩子的眼睛健康。

News Title: “Summer Alert: Frequent Incidence of Dry Eye Disease in Children, Parents Need to Know Prevention Measures”
Keywords: Dry Eye Disease, Electronic Devices, Healthy Lifestyle
News Content: During the summer break, the frequency of children and adolescents using mobile phones, tablets, and other electronic devices has significantly increased. This could lead to symptoms such as frequent blinking, rubbing of the eyes, and dryness, which may be early signs of dry eye disease. Dry eye disease is an eye condition that results from an imbalance in the stability of the tear film, leading to damage and discomfort to the eye’s surface. The main cause is the instability of the tear film on the cornea’s surface, causing damage to the surface cells.
Dry eye disease is not exclusive to the elderly. In recent years, with changes in lifestyle and viewing habits, the incidence of dry eye disease among children and adolescents has increased. Parents should help their children prevent dry eye disease by using electronic devices in a reasonable manner, avoiding continuous use for too long, and taking a break every 30 minutes; improving lifestyle by encouraging children to participate in more outdoor activities, ensuring adequate sleep, and reducing late nights; using a humidifier in dry environments to maintain indoor humidity; and ensuring a balanced diet, eating plenty of fresh fruits and vegetables, and drinking enough water.
Experts remind parents to pay attention to their children’s eye health and hygiene, and to regularly check their children’s vision to ensure their eyes are healthy.
