throughout the current situation of optometry and glasses for teenagers in China, there are non-standard and unscientific aspects, so how to get out of these misunderstandings?
1. Fast and simple optometry
optometry is a rigorous process. You can’t just rely on computer optometry or inserting films. Simply check your eyesight for a few minutes to solve the problem. The time required for a set of scientific and standardized medical optometry is at least 20 ~ 30 minutes.
2. No ophthalmic examination
there are many reasons for poor vision, not necessarily simple myopia or astigmatism. Before optometry, systematic ophthalmic examination should be carried out to rule out other eye diseases, early detection and early treatment, so as to avoid delaying diagnosis and treatment.
3. There is no need for mydriasis
it is well known that mydriatic optometry should be performed for adolescents under the age of 18. However, mydriatic optometry should also be performed for regulatory myopia and hyperopia over the age of 18, so as to relax the adjustment and obtain accurate optometry. Several myopia patients around the age of 20 have received different glasses prescriptions in different glasses stores, some even with a difference of 500 ~ 700 degrees. After mydriasis, we checked with a comprehensive optometer and found that we don’t need glasses at all.
4. The lower the degree, the better
the matching principle of myopia is the lowest degree of the best corrected vision, but this does not mean that the lower or higher the degree, the better. If the degree is too low, you still see blurred images, but it is easier to promote the development of myopia; Too high degree increases the adjustment, which also causes visual fatigue and the further development of myopia.
5. When matching glasses, pursue the same degree of both eyes.
matching glasses should achieve the same correction effect and visual quality of both eyes, rather than blindly pursuing the same degree of both eyes, otherwise it will interfere with the visual balance and development of both eyes.
6. Vision loss must be myopia.
when teenagers just have vision loss, they must go to a regular eye hospital or optometry clinic for systematic examination and mydriatic optometry to determine whether it is myopia, astigmatism or hyperopia and the degree of ametropia. At the same time, eliminate false myopia and don’t easily buckle the hat of myopia, Wear glasses when you shouldn’t.
7. There is no difference between medical optometry and ordinary optometry.
medical optometry emphasizes the improvement of binocular visual function. In addition to accurately checking the diopter of each eye, we must check the binocular balance, eye position, adjustment force, pupil distance, etc., so as to not only have the clearest visual effect, but also achieve comfort and play a role in eye health care and treatment.
