中新网广州8月8日电 (记者 蔡敏婕)暑假期间，孩子们有了更多自由的时间，但这也可能导致他们的近视问题变得更加严重。中山大学中山眼科中心屈光与青少年近视防控科主任杨晓在近日举行的“岭南时令与健康”座谈会上表示，暑假期间孩子们虽然脱离了课堂，但有些家长会给孩子报各种课外学习班，同时因为担心孩子外出，会放任孩子在家看电子产品，这反而增加了孩子们的近距离用眼时间。此外，由于宅在家里，缺乏规律的户外活动，导致近视问题在假期中变得更加突出。
杨晓建议家长应该鼓励孩子们进行大量的户外活动，以弥补平时户外活动的不足。她指出，每天至少2小时的户外活动对预防近视非常重要，而暑假期间则可以增加到每天4小时。户外活动的关键是接触自然光线，因此家长可以带孩子参加一些户外体育活动，如足球、篮球等，而不是室内学习班。
如果不得不参加室内学习项目，杨晓建议家长和孩子一起养成良好的用眼习惯，比如使用“20-20-20”法则，即每近距离用眼20分钟后，看向6米远的地方20秒。此外，保持胸口离桌子一拳、眼睛离书本一尺、指尖离笔尖一寸的距离，以减少眼睛疲劳。
同时，杨晓建议家长每半年带孩子进行一次眼科检查，以便及时了解孩子的视力状况，并采取相应的预防和干预措施。如果发现近视增长过快，应在医生的建议下使用一些近视防控方案，如低浓度阿托品滴眼液、离焦框架镜或OK镜等。
在保护眼健康方面，杨晓强调保持良好的生活习惯是关键。充足的睡眠、均衡的饮食、适量的运动以及保持良好的心情都有助于保护眼睛。同时，在使用电子产品时，应保持适宜的光线和距离，避免长时间近距离用眼，每隔一段时间就远眺或闭眼休息。
关于眼健康的误区，杨晓解释说，戴眼镜并不会导致近视度数加深。相反，合适的眼镜可以有效地矫正视力，减轻眼睛的负担。另一个常见的误区是认为成年后视力就稳定了，不再需要关注眼健康。实际上，随着年龄的增长，眼睛也会出现一系列的问题，如视视频终端综合征、干眼症、老花、白内障等。因此，她建议大家定期做眼科检查，及时发现并处理眼部问题，保护好自己的眼健康。
总之，暑假期间家长应该引导孩子科学用眼，增加户外活动时间，养成良好的用眼习惯，定期进行眼科检查，以预防近视和近视加深，保护孩子的眼健康。同时，成年人也应关注眼健康，避免眼疾的发生和发展。(完)

Title: “Summer Break: Rise in Myopia; Experts Offer Tips for Scientific Eye Care”
Keywords: Myopia Prevention, Outdoor Activities, Health Myths

CGTN, Guangzhou, August 8th (Reporter Minjie Cai) During the summer break, children have more free time, which can also lead to a worsening of their myopia problems. Dr. Yang Xiao, the director of the Department of Refraction and Juvenile Myopia Prevention at the Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University, stated at a recent meeting on “Lingnan Seasonal Health” that while children are away from the classroom during the summer break, some parents may sign them up for various extracurricular learning classes, and due to concerns about their safety outdoors, they may allow them to spend more time looking at electronic devices at home, thus increasing the children’s near-vision use. Additionally, due to spending more time indoors and lacking regular outdoor activities, the problem of myopia becomes more pronounced during the holiday.
Dr. Yang Xiao suggested that parents should encourage their children to engage in a significant amount of outdoor activities to make up for the lack of such activities during the school year. She pointed out that at least two hours of outdoor activity per day is crucial for preventing myopia, and during the summer break, this can be increased to four hours. The key to outdoor activities is exposure to natural light, so parents can take their children to participate in outdoor sports such as soccer and basketball instead of indoor learning classes.
If indoor learning is unavoidable, Dr. Yang Xiao advised parents and children to develop good eye habits, such as using the “20-20-20” rule, which means looking at an object 6 meters away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes of close work. Additionally, maintaining a distance of an arm’s length between the chest and the desk, an arm’s length between the eyes and books, and an arm’s length between the fingertips and the pen tip can reduce eye strain.
Dr. Yang Xiao also recommended that parents take their children for an eye examination every six months to promptly understand their vision status and take appropriate preventive and intervention measures. If myopia grows too rapidly, it is advisable to use some myopia prevention schemes under the guidance of a doctor, such as low-concentration atropine eye drops, defocus glasses, or orthokeratology lenses.
In terms of eye health protection, Dr. Yang Xiao emphasized that maintaining a good lifestyle is key. Adequate sleep, a balanced diet, moderate exercise, and maintaining a good mood all help protect the eyes. Additionally, when using electronic devices, it is important to maintain appropriate lighting and distance, avoid prolonged close work, and take breaks by looking far away or closing your eyes periodically.
Regarding common myths about eye health, Dr. Yang Xiao explained that wearing glasses does not cause myopia to worsen. On the contrary, appropriate glasses can effectively correct vision and reduce eye strain. Another common myth is that once a person reaches adulthood, their vision becomes stable and they no longer need to worry about eye health. In reality, as people age, various eye problems may occur, such as computer vision syndrome, dry eye, presbyopia, and cataracts. Therefore, she suggested that regular eye examinations be conducted to promptly detect and address eye issues and protect one’s eye health.
In summary, during the summer break, parents should guide their children to use their eyes scientifically, increase outdoor activity time, develop good eye habits, and undergo regular eye examinations to prevent myopia and its worsening, and to protect their children’s eye health. Adults should also pay attention to eye health to avoid the onset and development of eye diseases. (End)
