Abstract: mydriatic optometry is safe for most children’s eyes, and it is recommended that children with myopia and amblyopia under the age of 18 should be examined after excluding relevant contraindications., At present, it is the peak of student glasses. Before the glasses, some parents wavered when they heard that the doctor said they would check their children for mydriasis… What is mydriasis? Will it hurt the child’s eyes?, A few parents don’t know enough about mydriasis. Recently, the reporter visited Yangjiang Guangming ophthalmic hospital and learned that during the summer vacation, the number of patients with myopia and amblyopia attending the optometry clinic of the hospital increased than usual, sometimes more than 100 people a day, most of them students., At about 10:30 a.m. on the 21st, the reporter came to the optometry area on the first floor of the hospital and saw that while dropping eye drops on the patient, a nurse introduced the process of mydriatic optometry to the patient’s family members: point 1 drop of eye drops on both eyes, close your eyes and wait in the hall. Point every 10 minutes, four times for each eye, and then perform optometry after 40 minutes., During the interview, the reporter learned that some parents learned that mydriasis optometry was not available until they came to the hospital, and a few parents still had insufficient understanding of mydriasis. “I haven’t heard of mydriatic optometry before. I came to the hospital today to listen to other parents.” A parent waiting said. Another parent, Ms. Huang, said that she had learned about mydriatic optometry on the Internet, but whether mydriatic drugs will cause damage to children’s eyes still needs to consult a doctor., It is recommended to do mydriasis before minor glasses. Why should children do mydriasis optometry before glasses? He Yun, deputy director of the Department of optometry, oblique amblyopia and pediatric ophthalmology of Yangjiang Guangming ophthalmology hospital, said that juvenile myopia patients are generally true and false mixed myopia. Pseudomyopia is caused by ciliary muscle spasm caused by minors using their eyes for a long time. If minors do not dilate their pupils during optometry, due to the existence of pseudomyopia, the spasm of ciliary muscle will make the lens protrude and increase the refractive power, resulting in the degree of pseudomyopia. In this way, the degree of pseudomyopia plus the degree of true myopia will lead to large final optometry and affect the accuracy of the results. The purpose of mydriasis is to paralyze the ciliary muscle of the eye, eliminate the spasm of the ciliary muscle and remove pseudomyopia, so as to obtain a more accurate diopter.,
is at the peak of student matching. Before the glasses, some parents wavered when they heard that the doctor said they would check their children for mydriasis… What is mydriasis? Will it hurt the child’s eyes?

it is recommended for minors to have mydriasis before glasses matching
why should children have mydriasis optometry before glasses matching? He Yun, deputy director of the Department of optometry, oblique amblyopia and pediatric ophthalmology of Yangjiang Guangming ophthalmology hospital, said that juvenile myopia patients are generally true and false mixed myopia. Pseudomyopia is caused by ciliary muscle spasm caused by minors using their eyes for a long time. If minors do not dilate their pupils during optometry, due to the existence of pseudomyopia, the spasm of ciliary muscle will make the lens protrude and increase the refractive power, resulting in the degree of pseudomyopia. In this way, the degree of pseudomyopia plus the degree of true myopia will lead to large final optometry and affect the accuracy of the results. The purpose of mydriasis is to paralyze the ciliary muscle of the eye, eliminate the spasm of the ciliary muscle, remove false myopia, and obtain a more accurate diopter.
will mydriasis drugs hurt your eyes? “The main drugs for mydriatic optometry are tropicamide eye drops and atropine eye ointment. Except for patients with drug contraindications such as glaucoma, high intraocular pressure, infant brain injury or allergic to drugs, mydriatic optometry is generally safe for the eyes of most children.” He Yun told reporters that some parents suspect that mydriasis will harm the eyes because of the use of mydriasis drugs. After mydriasis, it will be unclear to see near objects. But he Yun said that this is only a short-term phenomenon and can be recovered. At the same time, before mydriasis optometry for children, ophthalmologists will ask the medical history, measure intraocular pressure and slit lamp examination for children, and eliminate relevant drug contraindications to ensure safety. After excluding relevant contraindications, mydriatic optometry is recommended for children with myopia and amblyopia younger than 18 years old.
“mydriatic optometry is the most effective optometry method for juvenile myopia patients.” He Yun suggested that juvenile myopia patients choose mydriatic optometry every time they have optometry. Only by completely removing pseudomyopia can we check out a more accurate degree of true myopia.
“it is normal for patients to be afraid of light and have difficulty seeing near due to mydriasis drugs.” He Yun introduced that after using tropicamide eye drops to dilate the pupil, the pupil can return to normal after 6 to 8 hours. After the pupil recovers, the unclear phenomenon of seeing near objects disappears. After using atropine eye ointment to dilate the pupils, the pupils began to shrink after about 10 days, and the pupils returned to normal after about 20 days.
in addition, due to blurred vision during mydriasis, children should be taken care of to avoid bumping. At the same time, strong light stimulation, especially strong sunlight stimulation, shall be avoided, and protective hats or hats shall be worn outdoorsSunglasses. Because mydriasis is to relax the regulation of ciliary muscle, do not use your eyes close during mydriasis, such as reading, watching TV and using computer.
