Children and teenagers suffer from myopia more often. Modern medicine believes that heredity and environment are the two main factors in the occurrence and development of myopia. The main pathological changes are the stretching of the eyeball and the lengthening of the eye axis. This is related to the lack of toughness of the sclera. Therefore, strengthening the resistance of the sclera and maintaining a certain degree of toughness are helpful in preventing the occurrence and development of myopia.

The main solid component of the sclera is protein, in addition to fat and inorganic salts. So we just need to consume three meals a day rich in nutrients, can strengthen the sclera toughness. Animal food (including meat, fish, eggs, milk, etc.) contains all the essential amino acids; cereals are inferior, only soybean and its products have higher nutritional value. So you should eat more animal food and bean products.

Calcium and phosphorus content in the sclera is high, is to enhance the sclera toughness of the important factors. Children and adolescents with myopia patients usually need to eat more beans, dairy, peanut rice, oilseed rape, celery, kelp, shrimp, jujube and other calcium-rich foods, while fish, shrimp, eggs, animal liver, lean meat, purple cabbage, walnuts, pumpkin seeds and other foods in the phosphorus content is high. Vitamin D can promote the absorption of calcium and phosphorus, to maintain the proportion of calcium and phosphorus balance in the body, which is also important to enhance the sclera toughness. Animal liver, dairy, egg yolk and cod liver oil is rich in vitamin D.

The Compendium of Materia Medica records, sheep liver liver tonic liver and eyesight, but also can cure dry eyes, night blindness and vision blurred. Modern nutritional analysis, sheep liver is rich in protein, calcium, phosphorus and a large number of vitamin D, used to treat eye disease is based on science.

Myopia patients can also use black sesame (fried, research fine) powder 1 spoon, into 1 cup of soybean milk or milk, add 1 spoon of honey to serve. Because black sesame is rich in protein, fat and more vitamin E, honey contains a variety of amino acids. Vitamin E can slow down the aging of human cells, amino acids play an important role in cell growth and development. These two kinds of food mixed with rich nutritional value of soy milk or milk, long-term use, can improve the function of the sclera and visual cells, high myopia is also beneficial.
