Some questions most puzzled by parents of myopia children

Abstract: after children’s myopia, parents should adopt appropriate methods for correction as soon as possible. Observation and research show that after using appropriate methods for correction, the degree of myopia will be well controlled, so as to avoid developing into high myopia or even wearing glasses for a lifetime., The most anxious thing for children with myopia is their parents. However, in the process of correcting children’s myopia, parents have many misunderstandings in correcting children’s myopia. Optometry experts from Haide myopia correction center tell you what behaviors parents should avoid and how children should take care of their eyes., Is a child’s poor eyesight myopia?, Now many kindergartens are doing routine vision screening, usually twice a year, but just check their vision. It is generally believed that the normal visual acuity of children in small class is 0.6, 0.8 in middle class and 1.0 in large class. If it is lower than this value, it is considered that their visual acuity is low., There are two types of low vision, one is physiological low vision, the other is pathological low vision., The so-called low physiological vision is that the child’s eyes are relatively slow, but not very serious. Pathological low vision means that there may be organic lesions in the eyes., However, most of the health teachers in the school are not Professional Optometrists. Once they find out which child has poor eyesight, they will tell their parents that “your child has myopia”. In fact, this statement is wrong. There are many reasons for poor eyesight, not just myopia. On the contrary, 95% of the poor eyesight of preschool children is not myopia, but caused by hyperopia and astigmatism., Parents often ask why some children are not short-sighted even if they watch TV, play mobile phones and read books on their stomach all day, while our children pay great attention to eye hygiene, but they are still short-sighted early., It is suggested that when most children enter the kindergarten, that is, about 3 years old, they can go to a professional optometry institution for two examinations: one is optometry, and the other is to measure the eye axis through an instrument.

children have myopia, and the most anxious thing is their parents. However, in the process of correcting children’s myopia, parents have many misunderstandings in correcting children’s myopia. Optometry experts from Haide myopia correction center tell you what behaviors parents should avoid and how children should take care of their eyes.

is the child’s poor eyesight myopia?

now many kindergartens are doing routine vision screening, usually twice a year, but only for vision. It is generally believed that the normal visual acuity of children in small class is 0.6, 0.8 in middle class and 1.0 in large class. If it is lower than this value, it is considered that their visual acuity is low.

and

can also be divided into two types: physiological vision and pathological vision. The so-called low physiological vision of

and

is that the child’s eyes are relatively slow, but not very serious. Pathological low vision is that the eyes may have organic lesions.

but most of the health teachers in the school are not Professional Optometrists. Once they find out which child has poor eyesight, they will tell their parents that “your child has myopia”. In fact, this statement is wrong. There are many reasons for poor eyesight, not just myopia. On the contrary, 95% of the poor eyesight of preschool children is not myopia, but caused by hyperopia and astigmatism.

and

parents often ask why some children watch TV, play mobile phones and read books on their stomach all day, and they won’t be myopic. Our children pay great attention to eye hygiene, but they are still myopic early.

and

suggest that when most children enter the kindergarten, that is, about 3 years old, they can go to a professional optometry institution for two examinations: one is optometry, the other is to measure the eye axis through instruments. Predict the development trend of children’s refractive state in the future through the results of the two examinations.

for example, for a 3-year-old child, the refractive state measured after optometry is 300 degree hyperopia, while under normal circumstances, a 3-year-old child should have 200 degree hyperopia, so from the perspective of development trend, it will not be easy for the child to get close vision in the future.

and then measure the ocular axis, because the length of the ocular axis is also closely related to age. For a normal 3-year-old child, the length of his eye axis is about 21.5mm. If the child’s measured eye axis length is 21 ~ 21.5mm, it also shows that it is very good, because the longer the eye axis is, the easier it is to get myopia, and the shorter the eye axis is, the more remote the visual state is.

and

through the measurement of these two indicators, we can roughly understand the refractive state of the child’s eyes and infer whether the child is prone to myopia in the future.

should children with myopia wear glasses?

should teenagers wear glasses for myopia? Observation and research show that frame glasses can only solve the problem of children’s “inability to see clearly”, and can not prevent the deepening of children’s myopia. Because in the process of wearing glasses, the child’s vision is still changing, and the degree of glasses is fixed, unsuitable glasses will eventually deepen the child’s myopia.

at the same time, myopia will develop. With the growth of age, the length of the eye, that is, the axis of the eye, will increase, and the degree of myopia will increase.

and

remind parents that after

and

children’s myopia, parents should adopt appropriate methods for correction as soon as possible. Observation and research show that after using appropriate methods for correction, the degree of myopia will be well controlled, so as to avoid developing into high myopia or even wearing glasses for a lifetime.

at present, the most ideal method for juvenile myopia is to use European eye protection instrument for correction. It can not only effectively prevent the deepening of myopia, but also quickly restore clear naked vision, so that children can avoid wearing frame glasses.

children may be pseudomyopia?

and

nowadays, the viewpoint of “pseudomyopia” is increasingly weakened in the field of optometry, because the essence of “pseudomyopia” is not “myopia”.

the so-called” pseudomyopia “refers to the fatigue visual acuity decline caused by excessive eye fatigue. It may be a transient visual acuity decline caused by too much homework and too much eye use in recent times. The refractive state is mild hyperopia or no myopia, which is a completely normal refractive state, so it is called” myopia ” “Pseudomyopia”.

and

have pseudomyopia in children. Measures should be taken to prevent them from evolving into true myopia. Drugs, acupuncture, often doing eye exercises, food therapy and other methods can be used to relieve the tension of eye muscles and make them fully rest and relax. At the same time, parents should pay close attention to their children, stipulate that when children watch TV and play computer, they should prevent dry eyes and astringent eyes caused by excessive eye use, and be careful not to evolve into true myopia.

at the same time, prevent pseudomyopia from evolving into true myopia. Be patient when implementing preventive measures, so that children can have healthy eyes to see the world in the future.
