I heard that wearing glasses is the "culprit" for worsening myopia?

Here's what's going on

So, someone said:

So wearing glasses is really the culprit that worsens myopia???

1. Will glasses make myopia worse?

We first need to understand a basic fact: why does myopia worsen after treatment?

Myopia that occurs during adolescence is mostly axial myopia, which is caused by excessive growth of the eye axis. The eye axis will continue to grow as the body grows and develops, causing myopia to worsen.

Therefore, the increase in myopia during this stage

It is the result of improper use of the eyes, which leads to excessive development and elongation of the eyeball.

It's not the glasses' fault

In addition, if the glasses you wear are not accurate

It can not only not slow down the growth rate of myopia

On the contrary, it may have other negative effects

01

first,

Low-quality glasses can make your eyes unclear

It is more likely to cause visual fatigue over time

Leading to further vision loss

02

Secondly, the visual function of adolescents and children is still in the development stage. If they do not get clear visual stimulation for a long time, it is easy to cause abnormal development of binocular vision function.

Therefore, choosing medical optometry is the best choice for glasses.

Scientific fitting and correct correction

To avoid other problems caused by inaccurate glasses

But if you find that you are not comfortable wearing the glasses for the first time

Or visual function examination found abnormalities

The degree can be appropriately reduced according to the doctor's prescription

After a period of adaptation or training treatment

Adjust the glasses to normal

To avoid adverse effects on vision and eye position due to undercorrection

2. How to control the rapid increase of myopia?

1. Improve the environment and eye behavior

2. Choose the appropriate correction method

Dai Hongbin, chief physician of the Pediatric Strabismus and Amblyopia Department of Aier Eye Hospital Hubei General Hospital affiliated to Wuhan University, said that after the visual function examination: 1. All indicators are normal, and 100-degree glasses are prescribed. Wear them for distant vision and not for near vision. 2. Check for insufficient accommodation, and wear 100-degree glasses. Wear them regularly and combine with binocular vision function training. 3. The examination found excessive accommodation and the ciliary muscles are in a tense state. After dilation of the pupil, a prescription is issued according to the actual situation. 4. The examination found that the ratio of accommodation and convergence function is low, and 100-degree glasses are required, combined with visual function recovery training. 5. Optometry found that the astigmatism degree is high, and RGP control surgery is more effective for correction. 6. The axial length is high, and orthokeratology to control the deepening of myopia is more effective.

3. Regular eye examination

From the age of 3

You should go to the hospital for an optometry checkup every 3 to 6 months.

Refractive development profile

Record and track the development of your child's eyes and visual function

Myopia in children is not a big deal

Scientific prevention and control is the key

Don't let your little negligence

It's a pity to become a child's eyes
