Tips on flying insects in hotels

We normally blink 15-20 times per minute. If we blink too often, it is an abnormal performance. Frequent blinking is the most common in children, and parents are very anxious about it and often reprimand it. Guo, an attending physician at the Pediatric Eye Center of Nanyang Eye Hospital, pointed out that frequent blinking is not caused by children, but by some eye diseases.

What causes children to blink frequently?

1, refractive error

The eyes of ametropia children are often in a state of disorder, which is easy to produce symptoms such as asthenopia, itching and dryness. At this time, the child will change the state of blurred vision and visual fatigue by blinking frequently. In addition, after children suffer from myopia, they will blink frequently, and when they look at things, they will be accompanied by squinting or looking closely. Parents should take their children to the hospital for eye examination in time.

2, eye inflammation

Children often blink, which may also be caused by eye inflammation, such as conjunctivitis and keratitis caused by infections such as bacteria, viruses and chlamydia. At this time, the child will not only blink frequently, but also have symptoms such as redness, itching, increased secretions and tears. At this time, he should go to the hospital as soon as possible.

3. Watching TV or playing computer for a long time

The development of children's visual function is not very sound. When the images on TV and computer change rapidly and flicker constantly, the visual center will be in an excited state, and visual excitement can make eyes blink frequently. Therefore, parents should control the time when their children play electronic products.

4, inverted eyelashes

If the child is fat and the subcutaneous fat of the eyelid is thick, trichiasis may occur. When the eyelashes touch the cornea or bulbar conjunctiva, it will cause foreign body sensation and tingling sensation in the eyes, which will cause children to blink frequently. Therefore, it is necessary to observe the growth of children's eyelashes when children blink frequently.

5, intraocular foreign bodies

If foreign objects such as dust and small flying insects accidentally enter the eyes, children will blink frequently because of eye discomfort. At this time, tell the child not to rub his eyes to avoid scratching the bulbar conjunctiva and cornea. They should go to the hospital immediately and let the medical staff take out the foreign body.

Tips:

Some children have no problem with their eyes, but they often blink, which is a bad habit. Parents should remind their children to exercise self-control and never scold them, otherwise they will become more serious because of excessive tension.
