Abstract: once a child has vision loss or eye discomfort, many parents take it for granted that it is pseudomyopia and are busy buying eye care products or looking for folk prescriptions for treatment., The statistical results of incomplete vision monitoring of some students released by the CDC show that the proportion of poor vision of primary and secondary school students reached 43.88%, 35.21% and 42.35% in 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively. In view of this situation, experts from the CDC suggest that myopia can be divided into true and false. After finding that the child’s vision decreases, parents should take him to a regular hospital for clear diagnosis as soon as possible, optometry and glasses under the guidance of doctors, or receive treatment., Myth 1: Children’s myopia is pseudomyopia, [case] once a child suffers from vision loss or eye discomfort, many parents take it for granted that it is pseudomyopia and are busy buying eye care products or looking for folk prescriptions for treatment [reminder] experts from the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that parents should take their children to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to determine whether it is myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism, or other eye diseases for symptomatic treatment And other old ideas, and groundlessly refused to correct children’s glasses., [reminder] experts say that parents should consider matching glasses according to the results of optometry, in combination with vision requirements, eye position, eye muscle movement, amblyopia, etc. before matching glasses, the first thing is to receive optometry from an optometrist.

The statistical results of incomplete vision monitoring of some students released by the CDC show that the proportion of poor vision of primary and secondary school students reached 43.88%, 35.21% and 42.35% in 2007, 2008 and 2009 respectively. In view of this situation, experts from the CDC suggest that myopia can be divided into true and false. After finding that the child’s vision decreases, parents should take him to a regular hospital for clear diagnosis as soon as possible, optometry and glasses under the guidance of doctors, or receive treatment.
misunderstanding 1: Children’s myopia is pseudomyopia
[case] once a child has decreased vision or uncomfortable eyes, many parents take it for granted that it is pseudomyopia and are busy buying eye care products or looking for folk prescriptions for treatment.
[reminder] experts from the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that parents should take their children to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to determine whether it is myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, or other eye diseases for symptomatic treatment.
misunderstanding II; the sooner they wear glasses, the more myopia they become.
[case] some parents hold that “the sooner they wear glasses, the more myopia they become.” And other stereotypes, and groundlessly refused to correct children’s glasses.
[reminder] experts say that parents should consider matching glasses according to the results of optometry, combined with vision requirements, eye position, eye muscle movement and amblyopia. Before matching glasses, the first thing is to accept the optometrist’s optometry. Only when the refractive state of the eye is clear, can appropriate lenses be given.
Myth 3: only glasses without ophthalmic examination
[case] some parents often choose an optical shop casually, especially some non-standard optical shops to match their children’s glasses.
[reminder] experts say that there are many reasons for children’s vision decline, which is not necessarily caused by myopia. It is suggested that systematic ophthalmic examination should be carried out before optometry. The younger children should have mydriatic optometry before the first glasses. Through mydriatic optometry, we can identify whether myopia is true or false.
misunderstanding 4: myopia can be cured in a short time ***
[reminder] experts from the Municipal Center for Disease Control and Prevention said that the prevention and treatment of myopia is a long-term process, and it is impossible to cure myopia in any short time. The prevention and treatment of myopia must start at the age of five or six, and can not be stopped until the age of 18 to 20.
myth 5: you don’t have to recheck
and
after wearing glasses [case] after fitting glasses for children with myopia, many parents think that everything is fine and there is no need to worry about their children’s vision problems.
[reminder] experts from the CDC said that clinical practice has proved that often asking children with myopia wearing glasses to go to the hospital for review can not only determine whether the children’s original pseudomyopia has been cured and whether the pseudomyopia in mixed myopia has been cured, but also determine whether the children’s original true myopia has developed. It is suggested that parents should often take children with myopia to the hospital for recovery after wearing glasses Check and recheck at least once a year.
