Survey of the current status of proper eye exercises among school-age chil-dren
Objective This study investigated the current status of eye exercises among school-age children,includ-ing assessment of execution quality,identification of existing issues,and exploration of areas for improvement.Methods In June 2022,a convenience cluster sampling method was used to select 166 students in grades 2-5 at a primary school in Lucheng District,Wenzhou City.Two independent researchers using an eye exercise scoring sheet observed students'behav-ior during eye exercises,and recorded observations including the standardization of eye exercise operations,rhythm,acupoint positions,and intensity effectiveness.Results The overall accuracy rate of students'eye exercises was 64.12%,and the accuracy rates were lower for acupoint positions(50.67%)and intensity effectiveness(30.60%).The accuracy for locating and pressing the Si Bai was only 31.33%.Conclusions Students'operational proficiency in eye exercises was generally low,and their performance in acupoint positions and intensity effectiveness was particularly insufficient.Provision of targeted guidance according to the characteristics of different acupoints is recommend to improve students'operation level.
