Abstract: generally, the prescription of glasses for myopia is the minimum degree that can see the best vision. If you can see 1.0 when wearing 300 degrees, 1.0 when wearing 275 degrees, and 0.8 when wearing 250 degrees, you should match it according to 275 degrees., 01 myth 1: once you wear glasses, the degree increases quickly. Under the condition of correct glasses, whether the child’s myopia deepens has little to do with the glasses themselves, but caused by the change of the refractive state of the eyes themselves. As long as the factors leading to myopia remain, such as lack of outdoor sports and excessive burden on eyes, the degree of myopia will continue to deepen, which has little to do with wearing glasses., Myth 2: it’s best to match the degree lower. Generally, myopia glasses are prescribed for glasses with the minimum degree that can see the best vision. If you can see 1.0 when wearing 300 degrees, 1.0 when wearing 275 degrees, and 0.8 when wearing 250 degrees, you should match it according to 275 degrees. If the degree is less, and you can’t see the most clearly in the most relaxed state of the eyes, it is easy to make the eyes tired and the imaging on the retina is not clear enough. Therefore, if the degree is lower, myopia will develop faster., Myth 3: wearing glasses will lead to eye deformation. With the progress of myopia, the anterior and posterior diameter of the eye will become longer. People with high myopia, especially those with more than 1000 degrees, will have a much longer eye axis than ordinary people, which may appear as exophthalmos, but it has nothing to do with glasses., 04 myth 4: glasses do not need to be worn all the time. At present, the mainstream view holds that glasses need to be worn all the time, so as to obtain better visual quality. Only when the degree of myopia is very small (< 200 degrees) and the clarity of looking near is not affected, you can consider wearing glasses when looking far away and not when looking near. If the degree of myopia is deep or combined with astigmatism, you need to wear glasses all the time. Misunderstanding 1 of
01: once you wear glasses, the degree increases quickly.
In the case of correct glasses, whether the child’s myopia deepens has little to do with the glasses themselves, but caused by the change of the refractive state of the eyes themselves. As long as the factors leading to myopia are still there, such as lack of outdoor sports and excessive eye burden, the degree of myopia will continue to deepen, which has little to do with wearing glasses.
02 misunderstanding 2: it is best to match the degree lower.
generally, glasses for myopia are prescribed with the minimum degree that can see the best vision. If you can see 1.0 when wearing 300 degrees, 1.0 when wearing 275 degrees, and 0.8 when wearing 250 degrees, you should match it according to 275 degrees. If the degree is less, and you can’t see the most clearly in the most relaxed state of the eyes, it is easy to make the eyes tired and the imaging on the retina is not clear enough. Therefore, if the degree is low, myopia will develop faster.
03 myth 3: wearing glasses will lead to eye deformation.
with the progress of myopia, the anterior posterior diameter of the eye will also become longer. People with high myopia, especially those with more than 1000 degrees, will have a much longer eye axis than ordinary people, which may be manifested as exophthalmos, but it has nothing to do with glasses.
04 misunderstanding 4: glasses do not need to wear
at present, the mainstream view is that glasses need to be worn all the time, so as to obtain better visual quality. Only when the degree of myopia is very small (< 200 degrees) and the clarity of seeing near is not affected, you can consider wearing glasses when looking far away and not when looking near. If the degree of myopia is deep or combined with astigmatism, you need to wear glasses all the time.
05 misunderstanding 5: mydriatic optometry is harmful to the eyes
In fact, mydriasis will not cause damage to the eyes. The pupils can return to normal by themselves a few days after mydriasis. Especially for children or pupils, mydriatic optometry is more helpful to get an objective index and make the diopter more accurate.
06 misunderstanding 6: after wearing glasses, there is no need to recheck
. Parents should often take their children to the hospital for recheck after wearing glasses, at least once a year, so as to understand the changes of their children’s condition in time.
