What are the misconceptions about myopia treatment for adolescents?

  The high prevalence of myopia in adolescents has alerted society and families. However, there are two types of misconceptions in society in the field of myopia prevention and treatment.  (a) Some parents are overly worried about their children’s myopia, and even individual parents think that myopia will affect their children’s life, treating myopia like a tiger, with the typical characteristics of “myophobia”, taking their children to major hospitals, seeking help from various myopia treatment clinics, and trying various myopia treatment instruments and drugs at any cost. The company’s main goal is to provide the best possible service to its customers. Catering to these people’s “myophobic” mentality, the market is now flooded with all kinds of myopia treatment devices, and Chinese teenagers have become the largest experimental group for myopia treatment.  (2) Some parents think that their children’s myopia is just a small thing, just buy glasses from home optical stores, without going to a regular hospital for examination and wearing glasses directly without a strict optometry, resulting in a decrease in visual quality and visual fatigue, which may lead to amblyopia, strabismus and other related eye disorders in serious cases. In fact, these two views are not the correct attitude towards myopia in adolescents.  (3) Fearing that “glasses will not come off” is an unscientific way of not giving your child glasses. In fact, wearing glasses is to help children see clearly, wearing glasses or not is not directly related to myopia deepening or not.
