Some parents have heard that their children suffer from pseudomyopia and are puzzled by this, myopia is still divided into real and pseudomyopia? Puyang Eye Hospital myopia prevention and control experts reminded: pseudomyopia in adolescent children myopia accounted for a very small proportion (no more than 3%), it is a “myopia” illusion, in essence, not myopia. Experts say that pseudomyopia is a common “eye disease” in children, mainly due to excessive eye use, adjustment tension and caused by a functional myopia, as long as timely detection, timely treatment, pseudomyopia is completely recoverable. However, because the visual acuity during the pseudomyopia period is generally between 0.7 and 0.9, there is no obvious blurring of the eyes, which is not easily detected by many parents, resulting in many young children missing the time for myopia treatment. How to distinguish between true and false myopia? Experts point out that the reason for this is the strong adjustment of the eyes of young children. If you do not order dilating medication during the eye exam, the lens will become more convex under the action of the ciliary muscle, which will increase the refractive power and affect the accuracy of the results. The use of dilating medication can paralyze the ciliary muscle of the eye, so that the true refraction can be obtained when the adjustment is lost. If the myopia disappears after pupil dilatation, the refractive state becomes ortho- or hyperopic, and the naked eye visual acuity reaches 1.0, this is pseudomyopia. In other words, naked eye vision will improve after pupil dilatation for pseudomyopia, while naked eye vision will remain the same or decrease slightly after pupil dilatation for true myopia. With proper medication, visual training, and rest, the ciliary muscles can relax and vision can be restored. Therefore, dilating the pupil is actually a way to screen out pseudomyopia and avoid “making it real” by treating pseudomyopia as real myopia with glasses. The most essential difference between pseudomyopia and true myopia is that pseudomyopia is functional myopia (the eye axis has not become longer) and is reversible; true myopia is organic (the eye axis has become longer) and is irreversible. The elongated eye axis cannot be shortened, just as it is impossible for a person to grow taller and then lower. Pseudomyopia recovery methods: 1, the traditional treatment – drug therapy: the use of pupil-dilating drops, so that the eye internal ciliary muscle relaxation, so that the eye can restore normal vision. 2, the latest therapy – adjustment training therapy: through a series of adjustment training tools and instruments to relax the lens, the degree of pseudomyopia will naturally disappear, and the naked eye vision will be raised to normal. This method has been proven to be the most effective and shortest course of treatment for pseudomyopia. How to prevent pseudomyopia in children? 1. The prevention of pseudomyopia starts with cultivating good eye habits and eye care awareness in children from a young age, looking as little as possible at near objects within 40cm and looking more at distant places such as flying kites, so as to effectively prevent the occurrence of myopia. 2. Patients with pseudomyopia should develop a correct pencil grip and reading and writing posture, not lying on the table or crooked body. Books and eyes should be kept at a distance of one foot away. 3, reading time should not be too long, to ensure that the 10-minute break between classes, pseudomyopia patients should pay attention to reduce visual fatigue.
