Abstract: myopia laser surgery can indeed make myopia patients remove their glasses, but it can not restore the eyes to the state without myopia. It is equivalent to putting the glasses on the cornea for a moment to correct myopia, but the lengthened eye axis cannot be restored., With increasingly heavy homework, children’s eyes are facing a severe test. According to the latest statistics, the rate of poor eyesight of students of all ages in China remains high, with 40.83% of primary school students aged 7-12, 67.33% of junior middle school students aged 13-15 and 79.0% of senior high school students aged 16-18. Many parents worry about their children’s eyes and complain that “they have become small four eyes when they don’t read well”. Although the problem of myopia for children and adolescents has been paid attention to by parents and even the whole society, there are still many misunderstandings worthy of our attention., Myth 1: mydriatic optometry is harmful to children’s eyes. Mydriatic optometry is to adjust paralytic optometry. Children under 12 years old, hyperopia patients and adults with strong adjustment must have mydriatic vision. Only when the adjustment is relaxed can the true degree of the eye be measured, that is, to eliminate the interference of pseudomyopia. Mydriatic drugs are harmless to the eyes and are a therapeutic method. The near vision blur and fear of light caused by mydriatic drugs are disposable., Myth 2: pseudomyopia is below 200 degrees. You don’t need to wear glasses. Whether pseudomyopia can be determined by mydriatic optometry, and whether to wear glasses can be determined by medical optometry. If it is determined to be pseudomyopia, you can treat it first, and true myopia can only be corrected by wearing glasses or refractive surgery., Myth 3: poor eyesight is myopia. If a 3-year-old child’s eyesight is 0.5, it may be normal. Many parents will doubt this. In fact, from birth to growth, the eyeball has experienced the development from hyperopia to squareness, and the visual function is also gradually developed, that is, the normal state of a 3-year-old child should be hyperopia, In school age, it slowly developed into a face-to-face and reached an ideal state. In addition, hyperopia, astigmatism, amblyopia and other eye diseases may cause vision loss, so you must go to the hospital for careful examination., Myth 4: when children’s eyesight is above 1.0, everything is fine.
with increasingly heavy homework, children’s eyes are facing a severe test. According to the latest statistics, the rate of poor eyesight of students of all ages in China remains high, with 40.83% of primary school students aged 7-12, 67.33% of junior middle school students aged 13-15 and 79.0% of senior high school students aged 16-18. Many parents worry about their children’s eyes and complain that “they have become small four eyes when they don’t read well”. Although the problem of myopia for children and adolescents has been paid attention to by parents and even the whole society, there are still many misunderstandings worthy of our attention.

and
mydriatic optometry is to adjust paralytic optometry. Children under 12 years old, hyperopia patients and adults with strong adjustment must have mydriatic vision. Only when the adjustment is relaxed can the true degree of the eye be measured, that is, to eliminate the interference of pseudomyopia. Mydriatic drugs are harmless to the eyes and are a treatment method. The near vision blur and fear of light caused by mydriatic drugs are disposable. Misunderstanding 2 of
and
: pseudomyopia below 200 degrees is not required to wear glasses.
and
whether pseudomyopia can be determined only after mydriatic optometry, and whether to wear glasses can be determined only after medical optometry. If it is determined to be pseudomyopia, it can be treated first, and true myopia can only be corrected by wearing glasses or refractive surgery.
myth 3: poor eyesight is myopia
if a 3-year-old child’s eyesight is 0.5, it may be normal. Many parents will doubt this. In fact, people’s eyes have experienced the development from hyperopia to emmetropia from birth to growth, and their visual function is also gradually developed, that is, the normal state of a 3-year-old child should be hyperopia, In school age, it slowly developed into a face-to-face and reached an ideal state. In addition, hyperopia, astigmatism, amblyopia and other eye diseases may cause vision loss, so you must go to the hospital for careful examination. Misunderstanding 4 of
and
: if children’s eyesight is above 1.0, everything will be fine.
and
a 3-year-old child, if his eyesight is 1.0, his parents must pay attention to it. He may develop into myopia when he grows up. When a normal child is still in the stage of hyperopia, his eyeballs have been over developed into squareness, and may develop towards the method of myopia in the future. Misunderstanding 5 of
and
: there are secret prescriptions for the treatment of myopia. The causes of
and
myopia are very complex, often caused by the comprehensive action of a variety of factors, and there are still many unknown factors. Many secret prescriptions in the market claim to be able to cure myopia. In fact, they are unscientific, can not play a role in the treatment of myopia, and even delay the formal treatment of myopia. Misunderstanding 6 of
and
: the more you wear glasses, the deeper the degree of myopia.
and
on the contrary, the more you do not correct myopia in time, the faster the development of myopia. Even children with low degree myopia also emphasize that they wear glasses when looking near and far. Only a few people with strong adjustment or implicit inclination of eye position can see far and not near. Misunderstanding 7 of
and
: it doesn’t matter if you get myopia. Laser surgery can cure
and
myopia. Laser surgery can indeed let myopia patients take off their glasses, but it can not restore the eyes to the state without myopia. It is equivalent to putting glasses on the cornea for a moment to correct myopia, but the lengthened eye axis cannot be restored. Especially in patients with high myopia, even after refractive surgery, the retinopathy and maculopathy caused by the lengthening of ocular axis can not be improved. The development of
and
myopia is gradual, cumulative and irreversible. At present, there is no effective treatment. Therefore, it is particularly important to actively improve and avoid the factors that may lead to the formation of myopia. For teenagers and children, we should supervise them to pay attention to eye hygiene and form correct reading and writing posture. When writing and holding the pen, the finger is about 3cm away from the pen tip, and the thumb is placed on the middle finger to expose the pen holder, so that the pen tip can be seen. The thumb cannot contact the index finger, otherwise it is easy to block the pen tip, and the head must be inclined downward close to the book. After watching for nearly 30 ~ 40 minutes, it is recommended to overlook for a few minutes, participate in outdoor activities for 1 hour every day, and play table tennis is conducive to increasing the adjustment sensitivity of the eyes, which is good for the prevention of myopia. Once it is clear that true myopia should be corrected in time, regular medical optometry must be carried out and scientific treatment must be carried outGlasses.
