Is it really good for your eyes to do eye exercises for a long time? Should children on vacation do it?

I believe many friends in China have the same memories, that is to say, when the hard class finally rings, you can't go out to play, but sit in a seat on the ground. With the music of the whole school broadcast system, eye health gymnastics officially began. At this time, the student union cadres began to patrol the whole teaching building and stood on the podium to check whether you had secretly opened your eyes. If you secretly opened your eyes together in those years, you will watch the inspection team leave the country and the children will discuss the efficacy of the work enthusiastically.

Because for a long time, the number of nearsighted teenagers in China ranks high in the world, which makes many people feel confused. Although we have paid attention to protecting our eyes since childhood, nearsightedness is becoming more and more common? Some people think that eye exercises are only domestic characteristics and have no practical effect at all. Besides, I think eye exercises hurt the eyes of China students. But two days ago, I thought it would be absolutely useful to replenish blood accurately, seriously, relieve eye fatigue and reduce adjustment obstacles. Faced with these two extreme views, why do children in China do health gymnastics since childhood, but it has not achieved good results, and the nearsighted population will not decrease?

Where is the exit of China children's window to protect the soul? Let's take a look at the more cruel data. According to the World Health Organization, 60 years ago, only 10% of the population in China suffered from myopia. At present, there are 600 million myopia patients in China, and the number of teenagers with myopia ranks first in the world. Among them, the myopia rate of high school students and college students is over 70%, and it is increasing year by year, and the myopia rate of primary school students is over 50%. This is not an alarmist. A long time ago, primary school students were nearsighted. If they put on their glasses earlier, they might be teased by their classmates.

However, with the increase of myopia rate of domestic students, glasses have become a necessity, and the Ophthalmology Society has also published a variety of research statements, including eye health gymnastics, muscle relaxation, eye massage and other behavioral therapies. According to their research, there is no evidence that these treatments can greatly improve vision, whether used alone or in combination.
