Many parents have a heavy heart when they bring their nearsighted children to the clinic. I understand the parents’ feelings because the eyes of teenagers and children are at a developmental stage and their eye prescriptions can grow like crazy if not effectively controlled. Parents have heard that myopia can be corrected through myopia surgery, but when I tell them that myopia surgery is not recommended for children under the age of 18, they ask, “Why? Why?” Why can’t teenagers and children with myopia have myopia surgery? Myopia surgery may be the ideal option for adults to get rid of myopia troubles, but it is not recommended for teenage children. This is because, in general, the eye is still in the developmental stage in the teenage stage, the eye development is not yet set, and it is easy to see back after surgery, plus the eye is still in the process of change, which may bring many adverse effects after surgery. So what should we do after myopia in young children? You can correct your vision by wearing frame glasses and keratoplasty lenses. Frame glasses: When a child is nearsighted, if left unchecked, it will grow at a rate of 75-150 degrees per year. Therefore, when the child is myopic, if you wear ordinary frame glasses can only wear thicker and thicker, parents look in the eyes in pain. The corneal shaping lens: Corneal shaping lens is a special kind of rigid corneal contact lens, the surface consists of several arc segments, the resulting hydrodynamic effect can gradually make the cornea flattened, around the inverse geometric change, restore the healthy curvature of the cornea, and to a certain extent inhibit the growth of the eye axis, lifting the peripheral confusion image. The keratoplasty lens is worn at night and removed in the morning to meet the daytime eye needs, easy to operate, easy to use, the lens material has ultra-high oxygen permeability and good biocompatibility, which is a good choice for youth myopia correction and myopia growth control! This is all you need to know about why teenagers and children with myopia cannot have myopia surgery. Myopia prevention and control for children, parents are advised to often take their children to outdoor sports to relieve eye pressure, and usually to develop good eye habits and do regular eye health checks to detect eye conditions.
