I recently found an article about several misconceptions about children’s eyeglasses, which I found quite useful. Now reprinted to share with you. There are nearly 400 million people with myopia in China, of which 270 million are teenagers, and the incidence of myopia among teenagers is increasing year by year, and the age of onset is trending towards younger. Why will myopia deepen again and again in children? The MonaVie official website for you to count wearing glasses several misconceptions, easy to deepen myopia factors. Myth #1: Mild myopia, no need to wear glasses for a long time Parents often ask such questions: “My child has 200 degrees of myopia, no need to wear glasses often, right?” Parents are reluctant to let their mildly myopic children wear glasses, fearing that if they wear glasses for a long time, their myopia will continue to grow. This concept is not completely normal. Professor Chu Renyuan, director of the Ministry of Health Myopia Key Laboratory, pointed out that: when guiding children with low myopia to wear corrective glasses, low myopia can not just look close without wearing them, but also need to consider their adjustment and eye position. The children with strong regulation can look far and wear them without wearing them in low myopia, while only 7% of the children with strong regulation. The remaining 93% of children still need to see far and near have to wear. Myth 2: The prescription is lower, to prevent progress A mother said, 11-year-old daughter with a pair of 150 degrees of myopia glasses, but by the end of the semester, sitting in the back row of her, even with glasses or can not see the words on the blackboard, to the hospital an optometry, found that her myopia has increased to 350 degrees. “I am now ready to give my child 300 degrees of glasses to leave some margin, will this slow down the progression of myopia?” It is purely “psychological comfort” to think that a lower prescription can slow down the progression of myopia. The glasses should be accurate, the high degree of prescription is “overcorrected” may lead to dizziness after the child wears glasses; with a low degree of prescription “leave room” is “undercorrected” may induce myopia further It may lead to further myopia. Children’s glasses should be “fully corrected”. Myth 3: Wearing glasses “problem” is solved The child is nearsighted, only need a pair of glasses, see 1.0 problem can be “solved”. In recent years, through continuous research and comparison, it has been found that the growth of myopia in children is due to factors other than genetics and environmental factors. Improper use of frame glasses is also one of the main reasons for the development of myopia in children. The prescription of the central area of the lens is different from the prescription of the periphery of the lens, and non-conforming glasses and frame deformation can lead to a decrease in the quality of visual imaging. If the frame is deformed or the lenses are worn out, they must be replaced regularly, and you must buy glasses with a similar shape to your child’s face.
