Why can you still be myopic after adulthood?.

Abstract: adults suffer from “myopia”. Like teenagers, many of them are still pseudomyopia in the initial stage. At the same time, patients will feel sour and dry eyes. The best way to treat is to let your eyes rest fully. If you have been looking at things near for a long time, you should consciously look for a fixed point in the distance, adjust the distance of your eyes alternately, and relax the eye regulating muscles., “It is a consensus that the incidence of juvenile myopia is getting higher and higher, but adults who were not ‘recruited’ as children should not think that they have escaped the risk period of myopia.” Professor Huang pointed out that in the past, many people believed that because the eye development of adults has been improved and the time of reading is not as much as that of primary and secondary school students, in addition to genetic factors, the visual acuity of adults should be relatively stable and not easy to develop into myopia. “But today’s adults are almost inseparable from computers in their daily work and life. They use their eyes at close range for a long time every day. The incidence of myopia among young people, especially white-collar workers, is increasing.” According to Professor Huang’s analysis, office white-collar workers sit in front of the computer all day, use their eyes for a long time and with high intensity in the daytime, and even go to QQ and play mobile phones in the evening. People are relaxed, but their eyes have been “not idle”, especially the ciliary muscles, which have been in the fatigue state of close work for a long time. When they develop to a certain extent, those with normal vision will have myopia, The degree of myopia may worsen and even suffer from other eye diseases., However, such “myopia” in adulthood, like teenagers, is still pseudomyopia in the initial stage. At the same time, patients will feel sour and dry eyes. The best way to treat is to let your eyes have a full rest. After looking at things near for a long time, you should consciously look for a fixed point in the distance to adjust the distance of your eyes alternately and relax the eye regulating muscles., Prevention: don’t use your eyes at close range for more than 6 hours every day. Professor Huang believes that the best way to protect your eyes and prevent myopia and other eye diseases, whether young or old, is not to use your eyes for a long time at one time. You should use your eyes less and skillfully. Pay attention to the following aspects: 1. It is better not to spend more than 6 hours on close eye use every day, and let your eyes rest every 30 ~ 40 minutes;,   2。 Don’t look at what you can hear at work, and don’t sit if you can walk around; If possible, the desk at work and the desk at home should be placed in a place where there are no objects in front, with a wide field of vision, which is convenient for the eyes to overlook properly during rest;,

prevention:

don’t use your eyes at close range for more than 6 hours every day.

Professor Huang believes that the best way to protect your eyes and prevent myopia and other eye diseases, whether young or old, is not to use your eyes for a long time at one time, use your eyes less and skillfully, and pay attention to the following aspects:

1. The accumulated time of close eye use every day should not exceed 6 hours, and the eyes should rest every 30 ~ 40 minutes;

  2。 Don’t look at what you can hear at work, and don’t sit if you can walk around; If possible, the desk at work and the desk at home should be placed in a place where there are no objects in front, with a wide field of vision, so as to facilitate the proper overlooking during eye rest;

  3。 If the desk lamp used on the table is an incandescent lamp, it is better to be 25 ~ 40 watts. The light enters from the side, not directly into the eyes;

  4。 When operating the computer, keep your eyes at least 50 ~ 60 cm away from the screen; Do more outdoor sports and reduce entering the “myopia promoting environment” such as game consoles, televisions and computers.

reminder:

vision decline is difficult to alleviate after rest, early medical treatment

why do you still have myopia in adulthood? Professor Huang of

and

reminded that if the symptoms of vision loss and visual fatigue in adults can not be relieved or completely disappear after rest, it is not necessarily myopia. We should go to the ophthalmology department as soon as possible to rule out whether there are other eye diseases. Because with the growth of age and the influence of physical quality, some diseases will reduce vision. For example, the development of high myopia, the change of lens diopter caused by diabetes, early cataract, glaucoma and so on are all potential factors that can affect eyesight. We need to be particularly vigilant –

and

1. High myopia:

and

are mostly pathological myopia, which are hereditary, manifested in the continuous deepening of myopia diopter; If patients with high myopia choose an occupation that requires long-term desk work, their diopter is less likely to stop developing. It is worth reminding that patients with high myopia are prone to lens opacity. Due to the increase of lens density, their refractive ability is enhanced, which increases the degree of myopia and makes their vision worse and worse. If you find that the degree of your glasses suddenly deepens, don’t be busy changing your glasses. It is recommended to go to the ophthalmology first to check for cataract.

  2。 Diabetic eye disease: the

incidence rate of diabetes is also increasing due to the change of diet structure, and the blood sugar level increases.High, especially when it suddenly increases to a certain extent, can cause the decrease of intraocular aqueous osmotic pressure. The lens may be in a relatively “hypertonic state” due to the increase of glucose content. Edema of the lens can increase refractive power and produce myopia symptoms, which is also a kind of pseudomyopia. Don’t be busy with glasses for such patients. After effective treatment and blood glucose control at the normal level for a period of time, the symptoms of myopia will gradually reduce or even disappear.

  3。 Glaucoma:

open angle glaucoma is more common in young and middle-aged people. If they are patients with myopia and high myopia, the incidence is higher. The early symptoms of open-angle glaucoma are intraocular pressure fluctuation, eye distension and blurred eyes, which are very similar to visual fatigue. It is difficult to distinguish them without ophthalmologists.
