Myth 1: Refractive errors do not wear glasses Children suffering from myopia, doctors recommend wearing glasses, but some parents insist that they do not agree to wear glasses, they think wearing glasses will be worse vision, or wear glasses will make the eyes deformed, some think I talk to the teacher to let the child sit in the first row on the line. Eye specialists point out: in fact, these perceptions are not correct. After wearing glasses for myopia, pay attention to eye hygiene, some can stop or reduce the development of myopia. The more near the target, the greater the adjustment needed. If you have myopia and don’t wear glasses for a long time sitting in the first row of the classroom, about 2.5 meters away from the blackboard, you are looking at objects at close range for a long time. The ciliary muscle continues to contract and over-regulate, forming a regulatory spasm, making it easy to get dizzy, swollen, and visually fatigued, and vision declines faster. Some people go to the doctor’s office and tell the doctor to prescribe some medicine, not to check. The doctor will often remind the first check the vision, and the other party often replied: “no need to check, my vision has been bad”. Ophthalmologists point out: high myopia complicating cataract, vitreous clouding, vitreous liquefaction, macular hemorrhage, retinal detachment, glaucoma and many other diseases can be diagnosed with careful examination, or through ophthalmic instruments. Only when the diagnosis is clear can we determine the treatment plan and carry out targeted treatment. Nowadays, hospitals generally have more complete examination equipment, and doctors prescribe the necessary tests according to the patient’s complaints and current medical history, which is an important means to make a clear diagnosis, and if no examination is made, the diagnosis may be missed or misdiagnosed. This may even lead to adverse consequences. Therefore, if you refuse to do the necessary tests when seeing a doctor, the doctor will not be able to make a correct diagnosis. Myth 3: Red eyes buy eye medicine Some people think that the sclera (white of the eye) red red is “conjunctivitis”, “red eye”. So they think they will be fine if they go to the pharmacy and buy a few eye drops, and the pharmacy will often introduce some eye medications that can be used to relieve fatigue, conjunctival congestion and itchy eyes. Ophthalmologists say: some conjunctivitis, buy some antibiotic eye drops, after using also really well. But the white eyes red red is a common symptom of many eye diseases, such as acute angle-closure glaucoma, acute conjunctivitis, foreign bodies in the eyelids, sclerenitis, uveitis, keratitis, etc., can appear red eyes, treatment methods are very different, especially acute angle-closure glaucoma, acute anterior uveitis, Pseudomonas aeruginosa keratitis, etc. need timely and effective treatment, some untimely treatment can lead to blindness. Myth #4: Not following medical advice and missing the timing The occurrence and development of disease is a certain pattern. For example, in acute closed-angle glaucoma, when the acute attack occurs, the atrial angle closes, the intraocular pressure suddenly rises, and symptoms such as eye swelling, headache, and even nausea and vomiting appear. Visual acuity decreases sharply, some only have light perception, the intraocular pressure rises up to more than 50 mmHg, corneal endothelial edema, atrial water flash, etc. At this time, if it lasts for a short time and the IOP is controlled in time, part of the visual function can generally be restored gradually. After the IOP is controlled, surgery is needed, but some patients strongly disagree when they hear about surgery, or they want the doctor to guarantee that it will be 100% successful. Ophthalmologists point out: in fact, to do any surgery, any doctor, like you do other things, can not guarantee 100% success, so you will miss the timing of surgery. Acute angle-closure glaucoma surgery after an attack in one eye, the other eye needs laser treatment, but some patients think that the other eye is not sick, there is no need to do laser treatment, after a few years when they come back to see the doctor, the original good eye instead of blindness. Experts remind, seriously consider not understand when you can consult more doctors. Misconception five: follow-up visits without medical records Medical records are records of relevant information obtained by doctors through consultation, physical examination, auxiliary examinations, diagnosis, treatment, care and other medical activities Por. Some patients do not bring their medical records for follow-up visits, or do not take out their medical records from other hospitals, to see if the diagnosis of this hospital and the previous doctor is the same, what is the difference in medication. Ophthalmologists remind: In fact, it is necessary to take out your previous medical records from any hospital you visit. Each disease has a certain pattern of occurrence and development, and the previous manifestations of the disease will also be reflected in the medical records. And previous tests will also be recorded, if you go to another hospital, the doctor thinks that the previous test results have reference value, there is no need to repeat, both to save time and money.
