Myopia myths: just match glasses without examination China is a myopic country, many people have become accustomed to myopia and other poor vision symptoms, the Vocational Defense Institute Eye Center pointed out that in the correction of myopia should avoid stepping into the misconceptions. Myopia Myth 1: Allocate glasses without examination There are many reasons for children’s vision loss, and sometimes it is not always caused by myopia. Some fundus lesions also manifest as vision loss. Therefore, a systematic eye examination should be conducted before optometry. Parents should first lead their children to the hospital for an eye examination to rule out other eye disorders, and then dilated optometry. Myopia Myth 2: As long as myopia is wearing glasses The younger the child, the more emphasis must be placed on the first time before the glasses, through the dilated pupil examination can identify myopia is real or pseudophakic. Usually, pseudomyopia does not require glasses and can be improved by some relaxation methods. If it is true myopia, it means that the child’s eye axis has grown and there is no clinically proven reliable way to effectively treat this axial myopia. Myopia Myth 3: Wearing glasses early will make myopia deepen Many parents believe that “wearing glasses early makes them closer” and refuse to correct their children with glasses without any basis. Most teenagers’ myopia belongs to simple myopia, which starts at school age, increases with age and stabilizes at the age of 18-20, so myopia will have a developmental process, not caused by wearing glasses. In addition, after wearing glasses, you have to go to the hospital for regular checkups and timely corrective treatment according to the different developments. Myopia Myth #4: Rely on drugs and devices to treat In the clinic, many parents ask doctors if eye care devices can treat myopia, and some people go to great lengths to buy these supplies for their children. There is no cure for myopia, but in order for children to develop normally, they should wear glasses as early as possible and make reasonable optical corrections to help improve their vision and improve their quality of life.
