In school, children have a lot of reading, which inevitably affects the
vision. To keep eyes healthy student, you need to organize the workplace and to
comply with the rules of reading
How to read?
How long can you read? Why bad "off-set", lying on the couch?
How to organize
a child seat to reduce eye strain while reading?
The most convenient and the right place for reading is specially adapted to
the child's desk and chair. The place should be organized so that the child's
legs were bent at an angle of 90 degrees and touch the floor to the back was
straight - the child does not have to bend or "hover" above the
table. The table height should be almost at the level of the chest. Distance
from the book to the child's eye - 40-45 centimeters. The book itself should be
held in an inclined position.
The table must be in the room lit area, preferably near a window to the
book falling natural light and no shadows. Natural light - the best light for
reading.
Given the fact that today almost all students have computers on desktops,
it is necessary to adjust the monitor so that there is no glare from the
window, and from the top or from the local lighting.
Since daylight is getting shorter, then the reading is necessary to the
proper organization as general lighting and local - that is on the table in a
child should be reading lamp - is a mandatory attribute for the students.
If the child is right handed, table lamp must stand on the left if
left-handed, right - that the shadows do not fall on the book.
How long can
you read?
The duration of continuous reading should be slightly less than in school.
There are standards for primary school children: 30 minutes of work - reading
or doing school homework - and then mandatory break holidays. Senior high
school student can without harming your eyes stand 45-50 minutes of continuous
reading. If a child is running on your computer, you should be more likely to
break.
The scheme of work at a computer for school children - its 15 minutes of
work and 30 minutes of recess. For students of middle and high school - 30
minutes of work, and at least a 10 minute break. In general, children are not
encouraged to spend at the computer for more than two hours.
The
Organization Of The Break
During the break, it is important not only to distract from the work -
whether it's school lessons or reading - but to do exercises for the eyes and
the neck and back. You can stretch, straighten up, get up and do some sit-ups,
stretch your neck muscles. The main objective of gymnastics for eyes - it
stretch all the extra ocular muscles:
- You could move the eyeballs in different directions, left and right;
- Make a few circular motions eyes, as if drawing a look around;
- Blink;
- Look out the window and focus on something distant look.
Forced to pose - it is very tiring for the children. Children do not always
notice the tiredness, especially if they are interested and they are passionate
about books. As a result, the child begins to bend down or side of what it hard
to see, but because he was tired of spin. As a result, the deformation of the
back, spine, poor posture and fatigue.
On the couch or
in a chair?
Many children, like adults, love to read reclining in a chair or even lying
down on the couch. In this case, it is not recommended to read lying to
anybody, because not only formed an incorrect position of the head, but the
coverage is likely to be wrong - the book will drop shadows. Besides, lying is
very difficult to keep the right distance from the text to the eye - 40
centimeters. And most importantly - the position of the eye is broken. Lying
down is it that a child reads his eyes half closed, resulting in astigmatism.
In humans, the eye itself is soft, and press down poluprispuschennye eyelids
eyes, changing the refraction of light rays and distort vision. As a result of
tired eyes. So supine read undesirable.
It is also important to remember that children copy adults, so if they see
that mom and dad are reading lying down, they are very difficult to explain how
it is harmful to the eye. If the adult eye is adapted, stable, that child is
being formed and grows, he is not accustomed to extreme loads, and the wrong
position can lead to problems with vision, in particular, to myopia.
Read reclining in a chair can be when to relax, take a comfortable position
and put a number additional lighting. Of course, it is best to read while
sitting at the table, but, as a rule, the back is too tired, so you can spend
time with a book on the couch or in a chair, the main thing - to read while
sitting and organize yourself a good light.
Reading
Standards
Reading standards depend on the age of the child and what kind of load it
in school, because the older the child, the more homework. For younger students
read 30 minutes a day - is enough. Maximum - two hours, but always with breaks
and performing gymnastics. In any case, the focus should be on the child.
If the child is tired, complains that he hurt his eyes, headache - that is,
of course, make it impossible to read more. Children are all different and all
have different resistance to visual stress.
If we talk about the older school children, they can be read more than four
hours a day, but also be sure to take breaks. Load necessarily is varied.
If a child is feeling very tired after doing homework and reading, the best
- is to go out for a walk. Regular and better everyday walk in any weather is
an important condition for the preservation of good vision.
