We have the best ophthalmologist and optometrist, Dr. Kozo Huihui, in charge of this treatment program. In order to facilitate these myopic children and their parents to communicate with the doctor about the specific matters after the children wear keratomileusis, Our ophthalmology department has taken the following measures for the convenience of the public:
1, opened a keratoplasty lens prescription hotline, parents can communicate with Dr. Broussonet in a timely manner. Parents can communicate with Dr. Kozo in time.
2.To solve the problem of difficulty in getting a specialist number for the child’s review, Dr. Broussonet will give the child the general specialist numbers of Director Yu Gang, Director Wu Qian, Director Wang Jianhua and Director Cao Wenhong according to the time of the child’s review, and these four specialists will take turns to review the child’s myopia treatment together with Dr. Broussonet.
3. If you have any questions, please feel free to visit Dr. Broussonet’s personal website for consultation and scheduled follow-up.

Specific questions for parents regarding treatment are as follows.
I. What are myopia prevention and treatment keratoplasty lenses?
It is a new type of youth myopia prevention glasses, it is through a physical shaping method, through a reasonable, programmed special design of a rigid keratoplasty lens, night, wear it on the surface of the eye, and then make the cornea in accordance with the reasonable shape we set deformation, through the corneal shape of the change can make the original myopia, astigmatism problems of young people get special effective The purpose of wearing glasses at night is to make the myopic cornea become mildly myopic or not myopic, and during the day, myopia is reduced or disappears because the shape of the cornea has changed, and if used for a long time, myopia can be controlled to a certain extent, and the effect of prevention and treatment of myopia can be achieved.
At present, this is the latest research abroad, a new technology to treat and prevent the aggravation of myopia, especially for controlling myopia in teenagers is a very good technology.
What is the principle of keratomileusis?
Generally speaking, soft things will change shape with hard things, our eye cornea is soft, myopia prevention keratoplasty lens hardness than the corneal hardness is higher, so in the process of wearing the lens, will gradually through physical methods to make the cornea a change in shape, this phenomenon is actually the principle of ophthalmology scientists to invent keratoplasty lens, foreign countries in recent years with this method of corneal production A reasonable shaping treatment to prevent and control myopia.
Will keratomileusis have any side effects on my eyes?
Long-term use of keratoplasty will not cause any special adverse effects on the eyes, but the prerequisite for safety is to wear them in accordance with the doctor’s instructions and under the premise of scientific and standardized use, which can achieve a safe and effective effect. Therefore, rigid keratomileusis is a safe and effective way to prevent myopia in young people.
Fourth, who is suitable to wear rigid keratomileusis?
1, children and adolescents using frame glasses do not have good results, myopia is growing rapidly
2, myopia, astigmatism, especially children with high refractive error
3, parents with high myopia, the child has a tendency to inherit
4, in the treatment of myopia in the optical lens it is the best quality is also the most advantageous.
Can students wear rigid keratomileusis?
At present, the treatment of keratomileusis is mainly for adolescent myopia, for example, around 9 years old, until about 18 years old, this age myopia is the fastest growing stage, some children may grow 100 degrees or even 200 degrees per year, such children are not given control, it is easy to develop into high myopia, high myopia on future learning, employment, etc. have a negative impact.
Therefore, for adolescent myopia, ophthalmologists advocate early control and early intervention. At present, there are many ways to prevent myopia in adolescents, but in general, international ophthalmologists generally recognize the project of myopia treatment with corneal shaping lenses.
Is it safe to wear rigid keratomileusis?
The prerequisite for safe eyewear is that it must be used under the guidance of an ophthalmologist, and there is a scientific procedure for fitting and use in a regular hospital. Regularly go to the hospital to receive the optometrist’s review and maintenance, so that for children and adolescents, it is safer.
Myths: Is it possible to cure myopia by wearing keratomileusis at the child stage?
So far, there are many methods to prevent and control myopia, but none of them can cure myopia, and keratoplasty can’t cure myopia completely, but if used reasonably and in a timely manner, it can have a significant control and delaying effect on the development of myopia in adolescents with long-term wearing of lenses.
If the child wears the lenses for a period of time, the vision recovers well, and then stops wearing the lenses, the cornea may bounce back, resulting in myopia control failure, and then it is necessary to insist on wearing the lenses to consolidate the effect.
Myopia that has already occurred cannot be eliminated by wearing keratoconstrictive lenses.
For children with increased myopia, the annual growth rate of myopia may be greater with ordinary frames, but the growth rate of myopia with keratomileusis is only about one-half of that with frames, or even lower.
The clinical indicators show that keratoplasty has a certain effect on myopia delay and control.
What is the procedure of keratoconus care?
First of all, hand hygiene is very important. The hands must be very clean and the lenses must be cared for with a variety of special care products. Beijing Children’s Hospital has a special optometrist who regularly conducts eye examinations, lens care and vision tests for children with lenses.
How long should I wear my rigid keratoplasty lenses at night?
For low to moderate myopia, about 7-9 hours a day at night.
For high myopia, for example, over 7 or 8 degrees, or even more than 1,000 degrees, we do not recommend that the child wears them at night, but during the day, so that they can maintain a constant good vision effect throughout the day, and will also have a certain degree of corneal shaping, and from a safety point of view, the degree is high, and if they wear them during the day, there are fewer other adverse effects.
Do I need to be reviewed regularly when wearing keratoplasty?
If a child is wearing rigid keratomileusis for the first time
The first week: we require a three-day visit to the clinic,
First month: once every week,
The second month: a regular check-up every two months.
Reminder: If your child feels uncomfortable, do not wear them again and go to the hospital as soon as possible. We are very strict in monitoring children wearing rigid keratoplasty lenses.
XI. What is the service life of rigid keratoplasty lenses?
Some people may not want to throw them away and use them for three years without medical advice, or even longer, but the glasses will also age and deform, which will have adverse effects on the eyes and cause unclear vision and double vision.
