Do people with low myopia need to wear glasses all the time?

In life, we often encounter

Some people whose myopia is not very high,

For glasses,

They tend to wear it sometimes and not wear it sometimes.

Online rumor,

People with lower myopia don’t often wear glasses.

Is it true that myopia can be cured over time?

👀Why does some people’s myopia worsen after wearing glasses?

The main reasons are as follows:

Reason 1: After wearing glasses, people still do not pay attention to their eye habits, which leads to an increase in myopia over time;

Reason 2: Some people have a temporary decrease in vision due to underlying eye diseases, but they mistakenly think it is myopia and wear myopia glasses, which delays the treatment and causes a sharp decrease in vision;

Reason 3: Inaccurate optometry. Wearing high-power glasses will inevitably make myopia worse.

Reason 4: Failure to distinguish true from false myopia. False myopia caused by excessive use of the eyes does not require glasses. It can be cured by paying attention to eye habits and exercising the eyes.

Reason 5: Poor quality glasses. Wearing glasses of poor quality will accelerate the development of myopia.

👀People with lower degrees don’t need to wear glasses often?

The correct answer is: If you are nearsighted, wearing glasses is good for your eyes, regardless of the degree.

"Once myopia is confirmed, you need to wear glasses. Doctors will recommend wearing them frequently. This has no necessary relationship with the degree of myopia. Patients with high myopia must wear glasses for a long time, and patients with low myopia are no exception. Not wearing glasses often, or the degree is not suitable, will only increase eye fatigue and deepen myopia." said Yang Heping, director of Aier Eye Hospital Chongqing Nanping Hospital.

Because if the eyes cannot get clear visual signal stimulation, the ciliary muscle responsible for the adjustment function in the eye may overwork, which can easily lead to visual fatigue, or even strabismus, amblyopia and other problems. Therefore, even if the degree of myopia is not high, glasses should be worn for a long time to prevent the ciliary muscle from being overworked.

In addition, some people believe that whether or not to wear glasses for a long time is related to age, and teenagers and adults should not be generalized. However, on this matter, teenagers and adults can indeed be generalized, and it is best for both to wear glasses for a long time rather than occasionally.

The eye development of adolescents is not yet stable, and the myopia degree of myopia under the age of 18 generally does not increase by more than 100 degrees per year. In comparison, for those who occasionally wear glasses or never wear glasses, their eyes are in a state of defocus (hazy) and fatigue for a long time, which will cause poor visual acuity and reduced eye convergence ability, and their myopia degree is more likely to increase.

Regularly wearing myopia glasses for adults is helpful to relieve eye fatigue and protect the eyes. Only those adult myopic patients who do not have high requirements for their eyes, do not have symptoms of visual fatigue, and have ruled out eye diseases such as strabismus can wear glasses only when they need to obtain clear images.

Director Yang Heping kindly reminds: Once myopia is discovered, it is best to go to a regular hospital for optometry in time to remove pseudomyopia and obtain accurate and appropriate diopter. After fitting glasses, it is best to wear them for a long time, rather than only when they are strongly needed. At ordinary times, you should also pay attention to eye hygiene. Every 40 to 50 minutes of eye use, take a 5 to 10-minute break, and look at distant or green scenery to relax the ciliary muscles. This can avoid visual fatigue and reduce the risk of worsening myopia.
