NPC deputy Zhang Deming: it is recommended that children's vision health into public health services

People, Beijing, March, 7 (Wang Jun) in recent years, the incidence of myopia increased year by year, the rapid aging of the small glasses more and more, the prevalence of myopia in children ranked first in the world. During the two sessions, the National People's Congress, Zhang Deming, vice president of Ya'an People's Hospital, Sichuan, children's vision health is recommended to be included in public health services.
Zhang Deming said that there are four characteristics of myopia in China: first, the number of sick. 5 people over the age of the total population, myopia patients, if not effective intervention, by 2020, the population will reach myopia of 700 million. Two is a serious illness. High myopia 30 million people, accounting for the total number of myopia of 6.7%. Three is younger age. From 1985 to 2010, pupils myopia rate increased by 4 times, when the survey found a child aged 2, myopia of 600 degrees, no genetic family. Four is positively correlated with the level of education. The more educated, more myopia is heavier, myopia rate is 44%, 72% junior high school students, 82% students, 90% junior high school students; myopia pupils than average 216 degrees higher than the junior high school students, high school students Ping Jungao 107.3 degrees.
Zhang Deming think there are five reasons for the rapid increase in children's myopia: first, the school assessment guidance is not complete. The main indicators are the enrollment rate and the rate of elite schools, rather than the healthy development of students. Layers of pressure passed to the students, bags heavier and heavier, cram more and more, stay up all night more and more deep, rest less and less, high learning pressure accounted for 71.4% of the causes of myopia. Two is the lack of vision health education, research found that 71% of myopia students with bad habits. Three is myopia prevention and control shallow, heavy vision test, light refraction law of development. Four electronic products are various, the risk factors are frequent. Survey found that students without myopia for a long time to play computer games, close to continue to use the eye to accelerate the occurrence of myopia 2.3 times, 1~2 months into myopia. Five is not correct vision correction. No, don't wear glasses, do not change the mirror mirror and irregular glasses more obvious, about 50% rural children with myopia due to economic difficulties without glasses, as high as 80% in poor areas.
To this end, Zhang Deming proposed 3~18 years old children's vision health into public health services. In the basic public health service, increase children's vision health care projects, the allocation of special funds into the budget; the vision of the children in poor areas of health into major public health projects, free of charge, fee reduction glasses and treatment; establishment of myopia prevention and control base and Qu Guangfa database, in-depth study of myopia prevention measures; formulation of optometry technology standards, strict the quality of the products, standardize technology market; the establishment of education, health, community, family, one of the four myopia prevention education system.
