Many parents will have a wrong understanding when matching children’s glasses. Here are the five misunderstandings of children’s glasses summarized by ophthalmologists.

and
as soon as the holidays arrive, parents are busy. Many parents seize the time to arrange various classes for their children, but their children’s eyesight is not good. They need to go to the hospital for mydriasis examination when wearing glasses. Because children can’t participate in various classes after mydriasis, So some parents decided to choose computer optometry glasses for their children.

this is very wrong. Clinically, young children must have mydriatic optometry, so as to reflect the real vision of children’s eyes. Without mydriatic optometry, only relying on the results of computer monitoring and matching glasses will cause a lot of harm to children’s eyes, First, the child’s pseudomyopia often “deceives the computer” to cause false examination results. Secondly, the child’s hyperopia and high astigmatism will also make the computer feel “powerless” during examination. Generally, children over 7 years old do not have strabismus, amblyopia and hyperopia, and can choose rapid mydriasis agent. Japan Midori rapid mydriasis agent generally can return to normal after 6-8 hours. Does not affect the summer to participate in various courses.
Myth 2: “expensive eyeglasses must be the most suitable for children”.
and
there are many kinds of frame lenses on the market, and the prices vary greatly. When choosing lenses for their children, many parents blindly pursue the high price and believe that only expensive glasses are the best and the most expensive glasses are suitable for their children’s eye development.
expert comments:
the main premise for students to choose glasses should be suitable for themselves. Don’t blindly pursue fashion and choose frameless frames or perforated frames. Children under the age of 10 can choose the glasses frame with soft edge and protective nose support when matching glasses, and children over the age of 10 can basically choose the full frame glasses frame.
when choosing lenses, children should first consider resin and hard glasses. Glass lenses are fragile and easy to damage children’s eyes. Resin lenses mainly require accurate astigmatism axis position, and the matched luminosity must be accurate. There must be no scratches, bubbles and impurities on the lenses. The power of children’s glasses must meet the quality inspection standards issued by the state. The error of diopter should be within the requirements of national standards. Misunderstanding 3 of

: “for the beauty of children’s eyes, children can wear contact lenses.”
and
some parents believe that once children wear frame glasses, their children’s eyeballs will protrude and affect the beauty of their children’s eyes, so they wear contact lenses for their children. Expert comments on
and
: “when choosing to wear contact lenses,
and
should consider whether their children have special needs. Students do not need to choose to wear contact lenses at all, because the safety of contact lenses is relatively high, and some unscientific use methods will bring serious damage to the cornea. In particular, younger children can not wear contact lenses. Due to poor maintenance, it is common to wear contact lenses leading to severe keratitis in China. Misunderstanding 4 of
and
: “children’s glasses must emphasize the same degree of both eyes.”
and
many parents blindly pursue the same degree of both eyes in order to achieve beautiful correction effect. Actually, it’s wrong at this time.
expert comment:
every child’s eyes diopter degree is different. In clinic, we call the child’s refractive power more than 100 degrees to 150 degrees, which is called anisometropia. More than 100 degree astigmatism and more than 150 spherical mirrors can cause the children’s binocular images to be different, resulting in a decline in visual quality. After the optometrist of the hospital optometrists optometry for the children, the pediatric ophthalmologists also try glasses according to the specific conditions of the children’s eyes. The degree of tolerance of anisometropia in both eyes of each child is different. According to many years of clinical experience, Beijing Children’s Hospital believes that, children with anisometropia should be equipped with glasses as soon as possible. Experts emphasize that the maximum difference in the degree of children’s eyes can reach 100-2000 degrees. The younger the age, the better the degree of tolerance and the greater the degree of tolerance. Therefore, it is wrong for parents to blindly pursue the same degree of binocular glasses, which is not conducive to children’s binocular visual development.
myth 5: “children can only wear glasses without ophthalmic examination”
many parents find that their children’s eyesight is poor. In order to save trouble, they often take their children to the glasses shop on the street to have computer optometry, and then hastily match their children with eyeglasses. Some parents believe that children’s glasses are glasses, and there is no need to go to the hospital to check their eyes. Expert comments on
and
:
and
there are many reasons for the decline of students’ vision, sometimes it is not necessarily caused by myopia and myopia astigmatism. Some fundus lesions also show decreased vision. Therefore, systematic ophthalmic examination should be carried out before optometry. Through the examination, it is found that there are many children with amblyopia, strabismus, congenital cataract, congenital glaucoma, congenital fundus disease and congenital nystagmus. Many parents find that their children’s vision is poor and often mistakenly believe that their children suffer from “myopia”, Some children found the above eye diseases only when they went to the hospital to check their eyesight, but they have missed the best opportunity for treatment. Parents also regret it. In this way, ophthalmologists remind children’s parents that once they find that their children have vision problems, they must go to the hospital for a comprehensive examination, and then choose the appropriate glasses according to the doctor’s advice. The above
and
are the introduction of the five misunderstandings related to children’s glasses. I hope parents should avoid these misunderstandings and pay attention to life details in order to protect children’s vision. In addition, pay attention to the maintenance of glasses.
