Will wearing myopia glasses really make you "uglier"? Ophthalmologists can't sit still...

People who wear glasses for a long time always have such doubts: when they take off their glasses, their eyes become dull, and their eyeballs bulge and their eyes become dull. Are these related to wearing glasses for a long time?

============================================================

In actual work, I found that glasses have a natural tendency to attract negative comments, and I became the "scapegoat"...

01

Does wearing glasses cause sunken eye sockets?

Most myopia is caused by the elongation of the eye axis.

The so-called eye axis can be roughly understood as the distance from the front to the back of the eyeball.

Therefore, as myopia worsens and the degree of glasses increases, the eye axis will continue to lengthen, and the eyes may appear slightly protruding, which will create the illusion of a sunken eye socket.

Instead of blaming glasses, it is more important to control the increase of myopia.

02

Do my eyes become smaller after wearing glasses?

Wearing glasses may make your eyes appear smaller.

Because if you are nearsighted, you will wear a concave lens.

At this time, if you look at your eyes from the front through the glasses, they will shrink to a certain extent. And the greater the degree of myopia, the smaller the eyes appear. If the degree of the glasses on both sides is quite different, it will look like one eye is different in size.

03

Do your eyes look hollow when you take off your glasses?

Generally speaking, vision will deteriorate after taking off glasses.

This causes many people to habitually squint their eyes to see things, and even stretch their necks forward, which makes people look listless. Moreover, because they can't see things clearly, their eyes will appear empty and lifeless.

In short, instead of blaming glasses, it is better to think about how to solve this problem! If you want to solve the problem of glasses affecting your appearance, there are currently two ways: one is to wear contact lenses, and the other is to undergo myopia surgery.

However, because long-term wearing of contact lenses may increase the risk of corneal infection and hypoxia, more people will take a more direct approach - myopia surgery .

**Myopia surgery is generally divided into two categories, laser myopia surgery and ICL lens implantation surgery. **All-femtosecond and half-femtosecond laser myopia surgery are both myopia surgery. According to the degree of myopia you need to correct, the corneal stroma layer of corresponding thickness is cut under the premise of ensuring that the corneal thickness meets the national myopia surgery standards. And ICL lens implantation surgery is to implant a refractive lens in the eye, which is like a contact lens that can be used for life and can be removed or replaced later.

01Laser Myopia Surgery <br /> Laser myopia surgery is suitable for myopic patients with myopia less than 1000 degrees and astigmatism less than 600 degrees.

02 ICL lens implantation
ICL lens implantation can correct myopia of less than 1800 degrees and astigmatism of less than 600 degrees.

There is no good or bad difference between these two surgeries, only whether they are suitable or not. Different surgical procedures are suitable for different people and different degrees of myopia. Therefore, only by checking the eye data before the operation and the usual eye habits can you determine which surgical method is more suitable for you.

Preoperative preparation guide****1 . Before surgery, you need to stop wearing soft contact lenses for 1 week, RGP lenses for 3 weeks, and orthokeratology lenses for 3 months . This ensures that you get the correct data during the examination and that the surgery is standardized.

2. Apply antibiotic eye drops before surgery as directed by the doctor. Keep the bottle mouth about 1-2 cm away from the eye. Pull open the lower eyelid and drop the eye drops into the lower conjunctival sac without touching the eye to avoid contamination.
