If patients want to determine whether their myopia has deepened or not, they can do so through an optometry examination.
If myopic patients do not pay attention to protect their eyes, do not develop good eye habits, and continue to use their eyes with fatigue, it can lead to a further increase in myopia. If patients want to know whether myopia has deepened, they must go to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for an optometry examination, and generally cannot make a judgment based on subjective indicators such as the degree of vision loss.
Children may also have pseudomyopia, which requires a dilated optometry examination to obtain an accurate myopia reading. In order to prevent myopia from deepening, patients need to develop good eye habits, minimize the use of computers, cell phones and other electronic products, do more outdoor exercise, and avoid looking at things in environments with inadequate lighting.
Myopia patients are advised to consult a doctor in a timely manner to assess their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
