A refractive developmental profile can help identify the causes of myopia development: What is a refractive developmental profile? A refractive development profile can be created by recording your child’s height, eye axis, corneal curvature, intraocular pressure, and refractive status on a regular basis, allowing you to closely track your child’s visual health and development. For example, if your child was not myopic last year, but has been found to be myopic this year, or if his/her myopia has progressed faster this year, you can analyze the cause of myopia development based on the refractive development profile. For example: last year was 100 degrees myopia, this year is 300 degrees myopia. In the past, the optometry only talked about the total number of degrees of increase, but do not know the specific reasons for the increase in myopia. Now it is possible to find out through the establishment of a refractive development profile (is the resulting 200 degrees of myopia brought about by an increase in the eye axis or by a change in corneal curvature?) Since myopia prevention and control methods vary from case to case, we can then propose a more targeted sexual myopia prevention and control program based on the type of myopia. Assembling a Myopia Warning and Monitoring System The most important aspect of this is optometry. We need to determine what the existing refractive status is. It is important to note that poor vision is not necessarily myopia, but can also be hyperopia, astigmatism, amblyopia, etc. Good vision does not necessarily mean that the refractive state is normal; it could be astigmatism, hyperopia, or even cone cornea! However, in the past, optometry often looked only at the total refractive status of the eye (how much myopia?) , without analyzing the specific type of myopia, whether it is axial myopia or refractive myopia. As a result, a one-size-fits-all approach to myopia was adopted, and myopia control was often unsatisfactory. The establishment of a refractive developmental profile, on the other hand, creates a myopia prevention and monitoring system that can detect the first signs of myopia in time and prevent it in advance. It can actively prevent and control myopia For example, parents often ask: if the child is not myopic now, will he/she be myopic in the future? What kind of myopia will develop? How to predict? For example, a 7-year-old child with a naked eye visual acuity of 1.0, optometry: flat – 1.0, now not myopic, but will soon develop myopia. This is because a 7 year old should be +1.25D farsighted and not plano. As the eyeball develops and the eye axis grows, the child will soon go from plano to myopia. This is the “first sign of myopia” and requires active prevention and control of myopia through eye hygiene instruction, penholding posture instruction, and accommodation training. Applicable Targets and Scope The Refractive Development Profile is more of a preventive monitoring system that is effective for all school-age children (3 to 13 years old is optimal), not just those who have already developed myopia. A personal refractive development profile is created from the age of four, monitoring the annual rate of change in refractive error while providing guidance on proper eye hygiene and penholding This innovative technical service is being fully implemented. Unexpected results have already been achieved. In this process, we have continuously found that the refractive development profile has a better guiding effect on myopia prevention and control, and it has been unanimously recognized and praised by domestic and foreign experts in the International Ophthalmology Conference and the 10th International Optometry Conference.
