Analyses of the myopia status of children and adolescents in Taizhou and its countermeasures
From the late November to the mid-December 2020,a citywide screening program for myopia was carried out in children and adolescents in Taizhou.Through a survey of 75 schools in Taizhou(including 21 primary schools,19 junior high schools,15 high schools,and 20 kindergartens),it is found that there exists a trend towards the prevalence and younger age of myopia.Based on the findings,the article points out that the prevention of myopia and the reduction of myopia incidence is a social project,which requires the joint efforts and active intervention of the whole society.Thus corresponding countermeasures should be taken,which include promoting the construction of children's vision health sys-tem,promoting the construction of children's vision health infrastructure,promoting the adjustment of intervention mode for children's vision health,and advocating a lifestyle conducive to vision health.
