00:00:03.170 --> 00:00:08.690 
In your case, the glasses you wore
before did not have myopia, only astigmatism. 

00:00:08.810 --> 00:00:12.725 
But now after 2 years of wearing
glasses, he has developed quite 

00:00:12.725 --> 00:00:14.030 
severe nearsightedness, 5.25 degrees. 

00:00:14.350 --> 00:00:18.190 
On average, if these people develop
myopia, it's only about 1 degree per year, which is fast. 

00:00:19.184 --> 00:00:22.857 
That was the examination result that the
doctor informed Mr. Le Van Tu in Ha 

00:00:22.857 --> 00:00:26.284 
Dong, Hanoi when he brought his daughter
to the hospital for an eye examination. 

00:00:27.064 --> 00:00:30.156 
Previously, seeing that his child had
blurred vision and blurred letters when 

00:00:30.156 --> 00:00:34.278 
going to school, Mr. Tu took his child
to see a doctor early to ensure his 

00:00:34.278 --> 00:00:35.824 
child's learning process and eye health. 

00:00:36.194 --> 00:00:40.774 
The doctor said I have to go home now to
get medicine and check again. 

00:00:40.774 --> 00:00:43.974 
done then come back next week 

00:00:43.974 --> 00:00:46.474 
then you will have accurate results. 

00:00:46.474 --> 00:00:48.374 
now kids abuse phones too much 

00:00:48.374 --> 00:00:51.474 
Phone time for example is
2 hours per day 

00:00:51.474 --> 00:00:54.434 
but sometimes I wake up 3-4 hours early
and the battery runs out without stopping. 

00:00:54.434 --> 00:00:57.194 
Sometimes parents are really busy. 

00:00:57.676 --> 00:01:02.056 
Myopia not only affects the quality of
learning and daily activities of young children, 

00:01:02.476 --> 00:01:05.951 
But continuous increase in degree can
lead to severe myopia, and in the long 

00:01:05.951 --> 00:01:07.936 
term also increase the risk of other diseases. 

00:01:08.596 --> 00:01:11.945 
Therefore, according to doctors, parents
need to clearly identify the cause of 

00:01:11.945 --> 00:01:14.736 
myopia in order to have
appropriate measures for their children. 

00:01:16.036 --> 00:01:18.916 
The reason is 70% due
to working and living habits. 

00:01:18.916 --> 00:01:22.496 
Children now have access
to electronic devices. 

00:01:22.496 --> 00:01:26.556 
Look close, early like iPad,
TV, computer, phone 

00:01:26.556 --> 00:01:29.156 
And use for a long time 

00:01:29.156 --> 00:01:31.496 
Combined that is due to work and study pressure. 

00:01:31.496 --> 00:01:34.316 
Children have to study for a long time 

00:01:34.316 --> 00:01:36.336 
Sitting posture may not be correct when studying. 

00:01:36.336 --> 00:01:39.696 
And a place to study or a place
to read books, read stories 

00:01:39.696 --> 00:01:41.156 
Insufficient light source 

00:01:41.156 --> 00:01:43.776 
Well that is one of the basics. 

00:01:43.776 --> 00:01:47.236 
Are common causes of crooked teeth 

00:01:47.236 --> 00:01:51.816 
And that is the reason why the rate of
spinal defects is increasing. 

00:01:52.570 --> 00:01:56.354 
To limit the progression of refractive
errors, especially myopia, people need 

00:01:56.354 --> 00:01:59.450 
to regularly screen for the
disease at medical facilities. 

00:02:00.030 --> 00:02:04.190 
At the same time, parents need to have
methods to control the amount of time spent using electronic devices. 

00:02:04.670 --> 00:02:08.049 
Adjust your sitting posture, have
appropriate classroom lighting, and 

00:02:08.049 --> 00:02:12.929 
supplement eye-friendly nutrients such
as vitamin A, vitamin C, and omega 3 to 

00:02:12.929 --> 00:02:14.430 
protect your children's eyes.
