CCTV News: June 6 is the 27th National “Eyes Day”. In recent years, the incidence of myopia in my country has shown an obvious upward trend, reaching 33%, of which the overall myopia rate of children and adolescents has reached 52.7%. To this end, the state will establish an electronic file of vision health for children and adolescents during the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, and will dynamically monitor and timely intervene in the eye health of children and adolescents.
The Vision Health Electronic File will begin with preschoolers to monitor the hyperopia reserves of children and adolescents.
The study found that pupils with a hyperopia reserve of less than 50 degrees are more likely to develop myopia after 2 years; if their hyperopia reserve is less than 100 degrees, they are more likely to develop myopia after 4 years. During the “14th Five-Year Plan” period, various regions will establish vision health files for children and adolescents aged 4 to 18. From kindergarten middle school children to senior three students, the refractive development health data will be updated once a year, and the occurrence of myopia will be intervened as soon as possible. Myopia rate strives to drop by more than 0.5 percentage points every year.
