Many teenagers or adults spend too much time playing with computers, mobile phones and other electronic devices every day, which causes the retina to continuously receive the stimulation flashing on the screen and transmit it to the brain, causing abnormal discharge of brain neurons and damaging the normal operation of the nerve center, thus inducing seizures and presenting symptoms such as temporary absence and convulsions. This is "play" epilepsy-photosensitive epilepsy.
The most famous episode of photosensitive epilepsy is the Japanese cartoon "Peter's", which was broadcast to 38 episodes in June, 65438 +0997+February, 65438. Due to the intense red and blue flash stimulation in the TV picture, nearly 700 children had seizures. Nowadays, due to the popularity of the Internet, the number of patients with photosensitive epilepsy is increasing gradually.
So what should people do in life to effectively avoid photosensitive seizures?
1. Don't spend too much time playing with electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers, and don't spend more than 5 hours at a time. If you can't avoid using electronic equipment for a long time, you'd better rest for two hours to relieve your eyes and brain nerves a little.
2. When playing mobile phones, computers and other electronic devices, it is best to be under bright lights, not in a flickering environment, because flickering lights and strong light are easy to induce photosensitive epilepsy;
3. In the living room, the lights should be as soft as possible; When the sun is too dazzling in summer, you can wear a hat or sunglasses to cover it. Because photosensitive epilepsy is sensitive to dazzling flash and strong light;
Photosensitive epilepsy mostly occurs in teenagers and children, so what can be done in daily life to prevent children from getting sick?
1, children don't watch 3D movies, flashing neon signs and water rippling in the sun;
2. When taking the bus, don't let the children see the scenery that flashed quickly outside the window, especially the neat trees and neat lines on the wall. In addition, don't look at the flashing light boxes outside the window when taking the subway;
3. Don't let children watch people in striped clothes walk, especially when many people walk together in striped clothes. Children should not watch them;
4. If you feel that your eyes are stimulated by strong light, you should immediately close your eyes or cover your eyes with your hands;
5. When watching TV and other electronic equipment, keep a distance of more than 3 meters. Don't play with your mobile phone for too long in dim light.
6, maintain a good schedule, do not stay up late, do not use your eyes too much.
In the era of rapid network development, the use of electronic equipment is inevitable, but for everyone's health, I hope everyone can use electronic equipment in a timely and appropriate manner. Parents should not only control their own use time, but also control their children's time to play mobile phones. Don't be careless if you find any uncomfortable symptoms. You should go to the hospital as soon as possible to see if it is photosensitive epilepsy, so as to achieve early detection, early treatment and early recovery!
