Myth #1: Try to cure myopia Parents’ fear of wearing glasses often comes from the mistaken belief that their child’s prescription will get deeper after wearing glasses. Many parents would rather spend a lot of money to experiment with various treatments or buy fancy eye care products than to take their children to a regular hospital in order to get rid of their children’s glasses. In fact, the speed of myopia development is only related to congenital genes and acquired eye habits, and since genetic factors cannot be changed, acquired eye habits are the only factors that parents can control. Like when reading books must pay attention to posture, keep the distance of vision, to do the “three one”, that is, eye from the book 1 foot, chest from the desk 1 fist, the right hand grip pen from the pen tip 1 inch. There is also, when reading books to sufficient light, not in the shaking car to read, do not look at the TV, computer for a long time, the best eye half an hour break 10 minutes. These precautions are easy to say, but there are many difficulties in actually doing it. For example, many children can pay attention to eye hygiene at home due to parental supervision, but once they get to school, they tend to ignore these precautions due to homework tension and fail to develop a good habit, so that they cannot prevent myopia from continuing to develop. Therefore, for the maintenance of vision, it is vital to develop good eye habits. Myopia is a gradual process of development from a low degree to a high degree of myopia, and the degree is often higher when it is late. The first time a person has to wear a pair of accurate glasses, and pay attention to eye hygiene, there is a role to prevent or slow down the deepening of myopia. When high myopia or children’s myopia first wear glasses, they can be lower than the actual need, this is possible, after a period of adaptation to increase is normal. A small number of people with pathological myopia do have myopic glasses that keep deepening, which is related to genetic factors, and may develop faster if they don’t pay attention to environmental factors such as nutrition, lighting and eye hygiene. After wearing myopia glasses the vision is normalized, no more squinting and goodbye to the hazy world. Vision improved, will certainly improve academic performance and work efficiency, after getting used to this normal visual perception, why must take off glasses, and low myopia, if used to close distance without glasses, reading, writing without glasses. Misconception 3: “As long as you can see clearly with a pair of glasses” When a child is nearsighted, parents tend to look at the price and quality of glasses. Most parents think that the more expensive the glasses, the better, and a few parents think that the price is cheap, so they can see clearly after wearing them. In fact, the most crucial thing to look for in a pair of glasses is whether they are suitable for children. A pair of glasses contains seven parameters and is a high-tech product. The thickness of the center of a pair of glasses, refractive index and its light transmission, imaging quality, etc. will affect the wear. If you look at the price, seek fashionable style, and ignore the science of prescription glasses, you are often wearing glasses that can see clearly, but may not be suitable for your eyes to wear. The real pair of good glasses, according to the eye dynamic refractive changes, first of all, before the prescription, be sure to ask the ophthalmology, optometry experts to do a detailed visual function test; secondly, after three months with glasses should be reviewed once, with a pair of glasses is not a one-off, to keep an eye on the changes. Myth 4: Myopia can do surgery, when can do This is obviously incorrect, surgery for myopia is a strict requirement for the recipient, not all myopic patients can receive surgery. For example, patients with eye diseases (infectious inflammation, cone corneas, glaucoma, cataracts, fundus lesions, etc.) or systemic diseases such as diabetes and connective tissue disease are not suitable for surgery. Myopia surgery is not always possible, and the best age for surgery is between 18 and 50 years old. In addition, students who are willing to undergo surgery for myopia are reminded to choose a holiday to go to the hospital for examination and surgery, which will help them recover from post-operative eye surgery.
