Long lines at optometry clinics and crowded eyewear counters—the annual "vision protection battle" for the new semester has begun once again! Recently, the ophthalmology department of Shanghai Children's Hospital has seen a peak in outpatient visits. A 4-year-old child, Guoguo, during her first eye exam at the hospital, was diagnosed with 400 degrees of hyperopia and 250 degrees of astigmatism. Beyond her case, many children came for follow-up appointments due to refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Numerous parents reported a significant decline in their children's vision during the holiday.
"I expected some changes in my child's vision, but I never thought it would be this severe." Liangliang, an 8-year-old boy, spent his summer vacation mostly indoors, glued to electronic devices aside from doing his homework. Concerned about her child's vision changes, Ms. Liu, Liangliang's mother, brought him to the ophthalmology department of Shanghai Children's Hospital. The examination results showed that Liangliang's myopia had progressed by 100 degrees compared to six months ago.
Why is children's eyesight particularly prone to a significant decline after the summer vacation? There are several main reasons:
1. Prolonged overuse of eyes
During the summer break, children spend significantly more time on electronic devices such as phones, tablets, and TVs. Staring at screens for extended periods without adequate rest can easily lead to eye strain and accelerate the progression of myopia. There are many children like Liangliang who are addicted to electronic devices.
2. Reduced outdoor activities
Due to the hot weather in summer, children tend to stay indoors, resulting in a notable decrease in time spent outdoors. Research shows that over two hours of outdoor activity per day is crucial for preventing and controlling myopia. Lack of outdoor activities means insufficient exposure to natural light, which is detrimental to eye health.
3. Irregular daily routines
During the summer vacation, children often have irregular sleep schedules, such as staying up late and waking up late. Such unpredictable routines can interfere with the eyes' normal metabolism and rest, negatively impacting vision.
Faced with their children's declining eyesight, parents are understandably anxious and eager to find effective solutions. Among various measures, choosing the right glasses for the new semester is of utmost importance.
As a persistent innovator in the field of domestic myopia management, Green Stone has always focused on adolescents' vision health, building a comprehensive product matrix for myopia prevention and control.
Among these offerings, the New Control MAX lenses, featuring a dual-effect combination of "reduced contrast + defocusing lenses," have become a preferred choice for modern adolescent vision protection, safeguarding children's eye health.
Reduce Contrast, Slow Down Axial Elongation
Leveraging the retinal contrast theory, an innovatively developed mist mirror imaging technology incorporates tens of thousands of light diffusion points on its inner surface. The diffused light creates a misty soft focus, which reduces signal differences between adjacent cones and effectively balances environmental contrast. This, in turn, minimizes excessive retinal stimulation, slows down axial elongation, and enhances the effectiveness of myopia control, all without affecting vision during wear.
864 Micro-lenses Provide Defocus Signals
Based on the principle of peripheral myopic defocus, the lens's outer surface features a graduated multi-point defocus design. Through 864 micro-lenses, this design provides a continuous and stable amount of defocus, while also reasonably compensating for increased peripheral hyperopic defocus. This ensures that light passing through the lens at any angle can clearly focus in front of the retina, thereby slowing down the progression of myopia in children.
Protective Film Layers: For Enhanced Safety
Children are naturally active, and their eyeglasses are inevitably subject to bumps and friction during outdoor activities. At the same time, UV rays from daily outings can also cause invisible damage to their eyes. To address these issues, New Control MAX Lenses offer a comprehensive solution:
1. UV Protection: Effectively blocks direct UV rays from the front of the lens, while reducing the reflectivity of UV rays from the back of the lens, preventing "secondary damage" and comprehensively protecting children's retinal health.
2. High-transparency X4 Protective Film Layer: It utilizes imported hardened materials, whose interior features a high-density mesh structure formed by numerous molecular bonds. When the lens is subjected to impact, this "molecular protective net" can quickly buffer energy, greatly reducing the risk of lens breakage and cracking, ensuring peace of mind even when children are exercising or playing.
Equipped with dual protection technology, it offers robust protection for children's eyewear, meeting the demands of various outdoor activities.
Every stage of growth is a critical period for vision care and myopia control. As the new semester begins, instead of constantly battling with children over phone use, it's better to jointly develop a regular and scientific eye care plan, and then pair it with a pair of New Control MAX Lenses. From prevention to protection, this approach comprehensively safeguards children's visual health, ensuring they can clearly embrace every new school day.
