My child is mildly myopic, should I wear glasses or not? Many mothers have heard the words “Don’t wear glasses for mild myopia, myopia will deepen!” “If you wear glasses, you can’t take them off, it’s not convenient!” “Wearing glasses are deformed eyes, do not wear!” These words are really bottomless, resulting in many mothers are in the “torment” between with or without glasses. In order to reassure mothers, now we look at these words one by one in the end what is going on? The growth of myopia is related to many factors such as growing up, increased eye burden, not taking care of your eyes or not knowing how to use them scientifically. Therefore, the growth of myopia is not caused by wearing glasses. Why don’t children want to take off their glasses? It is because wearing glasses makes up for the defects in the refraction of the eyes, so that the refractive system of the eyes tends to be normal and obtains clear vision. And after taking off the glasses, the patient lacks the proper help and, therefore, does not want to take off the glasses. Third, the eyes are deformed? Wearing glasses can cause eye deformation? This is just an illusion of contrast because the patient’s eyes appear smaller when viewed through myopic spectacle lenses. After seeing the shape of the eyes when wearing glasses, you will feel that the eyes look different when you take off the glasses. In fact, the right glasses will not damage the eyes, so there is no need to worry. Fourth, wear glasses will make the eyes protrude? The protrusion of the eyes is caused by the growing degree of myopia and the growth of the eye axis, which has nothing to do with wearing glasses itself. On the contrary, after wearing glasses, because the brain imaging is clear, but can inhibit the growth of myopia due to the stimulation of blurred image, so it can partially slow down the rapid growth of myopia. Many myopic children have poor regulation, so if they don’t wear glasses, they will use less regulation. With the principle of “use in, use out”, poorer regulation over time will not only lead to increased regulatory lag and rapid myopia progression, but may also cause exotropia. Therefore, the timely fitting of myopic children with appropriate glasses not only eliminates visual fatigue, but also improves visual acuity and slows down the rapid growth of myopia.
