Refractive errors are irreversible, and once they occur are generally not reversible, regardless of age. Patients with refractive errors can improve their vision by wearing appropriate glasses or by refractive surgery.
Refractive errors include myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. There is no effective way to reverse the refractive error, and even patients as young as 50 years of age cannot return to orthokeratology. Patients can improve their vision by wearing glasses or refractive surgery to correct myopia.
Frames are the most common method of myopia correction. By adding lenses in front of the eyes, parallel light rays from the outside world fall on the retina, thus improving the patient’s vision.
With the development of science and technology, refractive surgery technology is also becoming more mature, patients who meet the indications and have the desire to remove the lens can consider refractive surgery treatment, such as corneal laser surgery.
It is recommended that patients with refractive error should consult a doctor in time to evaluate their condition and follow the doctor’s instructions.
