participating in sports is an effective way to prevent myopia
at the theme event, the education commission of haidian district, the education commission of daxing district, the experimental primary school of haidian district and the yonghua experimental school of daxing district shared their experiences in myopia prevention and control. the reporter noticed that sports became a high-frequency word in the sharing of myopia prevention and control experiences.
zhao xia, deputy director of the haidian district education committee, said that haidian district requires schools to control the duration of electronic product teaching in classroom teaching, enrich after-school service courses and activities, scientifically and reasonably arrange the amount of homework for each subject, and effectively reduce the burden and increase efficiency. schools are required to make full use of physical education classes, large breaks and after-school service time to ensure that students have sufficient time for outdoor activities and physical exercise, so that students can really move and run on campus. in 2023, the average duration of physical activities for primary and secondary school students in haidian district will reach 1 hour and 20 minutes per day. schools will present a sports program with their own characteristics, and the physical health level of students will be further improved.
zhang wei, head of the physical education and aesthetics section of the daxing district education committee, introduced that daxing district has found the right combination of "prevention" and "correction", focusing on the prevention and control of myopia among lower grade students; found the right balance between "teaching" and "health", and carried out high-quality sports activities; found the right integration point between "home, school" and "society", and held various forms of education and publicity activities.
song jidong, principal of haidian experimental primary school, introduced the school's advanced experience: incorporating standardized eye exercises into the daily curriculum and forming a "green eye protection student team"; incorporating vision prevention and control into the happy class and happy family building plan, and encouraging classes and families to formulate vision protection conventions.
"since our school was founded in 2017, we have formulated the '9201' education plan, where 9 means ensuring that students get 9 hours of sleep a day, and 2 means ensuring that students do 2 hours of outdoor exercise at school. in recent years, the myopia rate and obesity rate in our school have also dropped significantly." hu lin, principal of yonghua experimental school in daxing district, said that after the municipal education commission issued the "15-minute break", the school actively guided teachers and students to walk out of the classroom and go outdoors during breaks. "in this way, our primary school students have 135 minutes of outdoor exercise time at school, and middle school students have 120 minutes."
lighting, height of tables and chairs, and duration of eye use are all key points of myopia prevention and control
in recent years, with the change of lifestyle, myopia among children and adolescents in my country has shown a trend of high incidence and younger age. at the same time, objective factors such as reduced time for outdoor sports and prolonged close-range eye use also affect children's eye health. "myopia prevention and control requires collaboration among schools, families, governments, and society to take active, effective and scientific myopia prevention and control measures to ensure the healthy growth of children." chen rui, vice president of capital medical university, said that promoting eye health knowledge such as scientific eye use and prevention of myopia is particularly important for myopia prevention and control among children and adolescents.
on the same day, the "guidebook for the prevention and control of myopia in children and adolescents" was officially released. reporters saw that the "handbook" is divided into five parts: common sense, causes and hazards, prevention, monitoring, and correction and control. among them, the common sense section popularizes the basic knowledge of what is vision, what is naked eye vision, what is corrected vision, what is poor vision, etc.; the prevention section provides suggestions for preventing myopia from multiple aspects such as outdoor sports, screen time selection, sitting posture, sleep and diet.
as the editor-in-chief of the manual, chen rui said that the manual was developed through extensive research and consultation with medical experts in ophthalmology, hygiene, nutrition, epidemiology, statistics and other fields to ensure the scientificity, feasibility and practicality of the manual. "the content of the manual mainly refers to national guidelines such as the 2024 edition of the guidelines for myopia prevention and control and the guidelines for appropriate technologies for myopia prevention and control in children and adolescents, and combines the latest research progress in the field of myopia prevention and control at home and abroad to systematically popularize myopia knowledge, causes and hazards, prevention, monitoring, correction and control."
as a textbook for myopia prevention and control education for students in beijing, the handbook will help students establish healthy eye awareness, increase daytime outdoor activities, build a visually healthy environment, and actively prevent and control myopia. the beijing municipal education commission will subsequently send an electronic version of the handbook to schools in each district for use by teachers, students and parents.
regarding the prevention and control of myopia among students, leng chuancai, director of the physical education, health and art department of the beijing municipal education commission, mentioned that home-school collaboration will continue in the future. "the first is lighting, which is an important factor affecting children's vision. in addition to school lighting, home lighting gives parents some guiding suggestions." he also suggested that attention should be paid to the height of tables and chairs used by students at school and at home. control the length of time children use their eyes, especially the time they use electronic screens. teachers should reduce the time they use electronic screens, especially for children in lower grades.
in addition, teachers are advised to pay attention to students' sitting posture. in the future, we will cooperate with the medical system to take measures to control the myopia rate of preschool children and ensure that children participate in more activities during kindergarten and reduce the time they spend using their eyes.
