No treatment at a young age? The treatment of myopia should avoid these four misunderstandings

Abstract: in the early stage of myopia, children are often in the stage of pseudomyopia. Correction in this period can cure myopia. If the child is found to have myopia symptoms, he should go to the hospital to dilate his pupils in time. After dilation, if the child’s vision returns to normal, he can be judged as pseudomyopia., Now more and more teenagers suffer from myopia, and the number of myopia is also rising, which makes many parents worried. After many children suffer from myopia, they immediately wear glasses through computer optometry. Although this method enables children to use the fastest speed and reach the normal level through correction, there is a certain crisis in the protection of eyes. When helping children correct their eyesight, they should avoid some misunderstandings., Myth 1: there is no need for treatment at a young age. Amblyopia often occurs in younger children. Many parents believe that if the child is older, amblyopia may be better. There is no need to treat amblyopia as soon as it is found. Moreover, children are small and don’t care about beauty. In fact, the earlier the treatment period of amblyopia, the better. Children over 12 years old will be much less sensitive to amblyopia treatment., Myth 2: directly wear glasses after computer optometry. Many children with myopia immediately wear glasses through computer optometry. Although this method enables children to use the fastest speed and reach the normal level through correction, there is a certain crisis in the protection of eyes. When myopia is confirmed, children should not only have optometry and glasses, but also have corresponding eye tests. Especially those who have optometry and glasses for the first time must go to the ophthalmology of formal medical institutions for a comprehensive eye examination to eliminate the blurred vision caused by other abnormal symptoms, so as to eliminate the hidden dangers caused by eye diseases., Myth 3: false myopia is mistaken for true myopia. Children are often in the stage of false myopia in the early stage of myopia. Correction in this period can cure myopia. If the child is found to have myopia symptoms, he should go to the hospital in time for mydriasis. After mydriasis, if the child’s vision returns to normal, it can be determined as pseudomyopia. At this time, children should be urged to pay attention to eye hygiene. This kind of eye hygiene mainly refers to protecting eyesight by letting the eyes rest. The reading time should not exceed 45 minutes. You should look into the distance at each interval and look at more green objects. In this way, if you pay attention for a long time, the symptoms of myopia will gradually subside., Myth 4: laser surgery, there is not much age limit over the age of 18.

now more and more teenagers suffer from myopia, and the number of myopia is also rising, which makes many parents worried. After many children suffer from myopia, they immediately wear glasses through computer optometry.

misunderstanding 3: false myopia is mistaken for true myopia.

children are often in the stage of false myopia in the early stage of myopia. Correction in this period can cure myopia. If the child is found to have myopia symptoms, he should go to the hospital in time for mydriasis. After mydriasis, if the child’s vision returns to normal, it can be determined as pseudomyopia. At this time, children should be urged to pay attention to eye hygiene. This kind of eye hygiene mainly refers to protecting eyesight by letting the eyes rest.

and

: laser surgery, there is not much age limit over the age of 18.

and

myopia surgery can be considered for myopia over the age of 18, while laser surgery is not recommended for teenagers under the age of 18 because the eye structure is not fully mature. At the same time, although the predictability, safety and stability of laser myopia surgery are good, college students must also carry out strict preoperative examination when performing laser myopia surgery, and the operation can be carried out only after everything is qualified.

precautions after myopia surgery

1. Pay attention to medication and regular follow-up. A successful excimer laser surgery depends not only on the doctor’s superb surgical technology, but also on the regular medication and follow-up after operation. Excimer laser postoperative medication is particularly important and should be used under the guidance of doctors.

2. Still pay attention to eye hygiene. For those whose eyesight has completely returned to normal, they should still pay attention to eye hygiene, especially those who watch computers and sit at tables for a long time. They must rest for a while after using their eyes for an hour. They can do eye exercises to relax their eyes, or look into the distance to give their eyes a proper rest, so as to avoid the sequelae of excimer surgery caused by excessive eye use.

3. High myopia still needs to be careful. Myopia patients are often accompanied by fundus lesions due to the lengthening of ocular axis, especially high myopia patients. The peripheral retina is thinner, atrophic and degenerative. Once retinal holes appear, it may lead to retinal detachment. Retinal detachment is a common eye disease that leads to blindness in myopia, which should be paid special attention to by patients with myopia.
