China is one of the countries with the largest number of myopic people in the world. At present, the number of myopic people is as high as 450 million, ranking first in the world. Among them, the situation of juvenile myopia is particularly severe. The survey data of
and
show that the myopia rates of primary school students aged 7 ~ 12, junior middle school students aged 13 ~ 15, senior high school students aged 16 ~ 18 and college students aged 19 ~ 22 are 45.71%, 74.36%, 83.28% and 86.36% respectively. “Small glasses” appear in groups on campus.
although there are so many myopia, how many people really understand myopia correctly?
some people think that myopia can be solved by wearing glasses!
and
others believe that the more glasses are worn, the deeper they will become “bulging eyes”!
,
and others. They always feel mydriasis hurts their eyes and dare not take their children for formal examination! Misunderstanding of
and
: is myopia a disease?
ask:
is myopia a disease?
ophthalmologist:
myopia is a kind of ametropia!
can be divided into:
mild myopia (less than 300 degrees),
moderate myopia (300-600 degrees),
high myopia (more than 600 degrees),
Middle and low myopia only needs to wear glasses, but the excessive growth of ocular axis in high myopia will bring many complications, and even blindness in severe cases. Studies have shown that the risk of retinopathy associated with high myopia above 800 degrees is increased by 40%, such as retinal detachment, retinal choroidal atrophy, macular hemorrhage and macular hole. These eye diseases will lead to irreversible damage to vision.
misunderstanding 2: will wearing glasses aggravate the degree of myopia
question:
will wearing glasses deepen the degree of myopia?
ophthalmologist:
wearing glasses will delay the growth of myopia!
and
do more harm without glasses!
in life, we often encounter many myopia who are unwilling to wear glasses. We always think that wearing glasses will increase the degree of myopia.
actually, The occurrence of myopia is the result of the extension of the eye axis (anterior and posterior diameter of the eye). Wearing glasses is to correct myopia, and wearing glasses itself will not lead to the growth of myopia, and glasses of appropriate degree can effectively control the development of myopia.
misunderstanding 3: wearing glasses causes eye deformation.
ask:
Wear glasses will become bulging eyes?
ophthalmologist:
eye deformation is due to myopia, not glasses!
and
eyeballs become convex. It’s not the fault of glasses!!!
some people don’t want to wear glasses → they think wearing glasses will lead to eye deformation.
wearing glasses will not cause eye deformation! Exophthalmos is the result of the growth of the ocular axis, Moreover, the eyes seen through myopia glasses (concave lens) are narrowed by the frame. Taking off the glasses will cause visual errors. Therefore, it is not because wearing glasses causes eye deformation, but because the structure of the eye itself changes, resulting in “bulging”. Misunderstanding 4 of
and
: refuse to ask children mydriasis
and
:
and
Does the child’s mydriasis hurt his eyes?
ophthalmologist:
mydriasis does not hurt the eyes!
mydriasis is a normal examination method. Don’t worry!
why must children’s glasses have mydriasis? Children with
and
have high eye adjustment ability, so if they do not paralyze the ciliary muscle through mydriasis during the examination, it is possible to detect too high myopia, Or the examination results show myopia (pseudomyopia) without myopia. Therefore, when fitting glasses for children and adolescents, the results obtained by doctors through medical optometry after mydriasis are the real diopter. Therefore, children and adolescents must have mydriasis optometry.
does mydriasis have an impact?
Dilated pupils, photophobia and difficulty in seeing objects after mydriasis are normal phenomena. Parents don’t need to worry. They just need to avoid strong light irradiation after mydriasis and don’t use their eyes at close range.
myth 5: myopia can be treated
question:
it is said that myopia can also be treated with acupuncture and massage?
ophthalmologist:
acupuncture and massage can not treat myopia!
and
many non-medical institutions and informal medical institutions use the psychology that parents don’t want their children to wear glasses to carry out all kinds of myopia “treatment”, and recommend some methods such as massage, acupuncture, physiotherapy and therapeutic instruments, which are actually ineffective.
myopia only through limited methods
