How to choose the appropriate treatment for myopia
With the rapid development of modern science and technology, myopia has become a common visual problem. For myopic patients, it is very important to choose the appropriate treatment. Shanghai Eye Hospital, as a professional eye hospital, provides a variety of methods to treat myopia. The following details how to select appropriate myopia treatment methods from four aspects: eyepiece, corneal shaping lens, laser surgery and ocular refractive surgery.
eyepiece
Eyepiece is one of the most common myopia correction tools, which is suitable for people with low myopia. The eyepiece adjusts the focus of the eyeball through the lens to make vision clear. For some patients who are not suitable for other myopia correction methods, eyepiece is a safe and effective choice. However, eyeglasses need to be worn every day and will bring some visual pressure, so patients need to consider their own living habits and comfort when choosing eyeglasses.
In addition, with the progress of science and technology, eyepieces are also constantly improving. For example, some eyepieces have the function of anti blue light, which can effectively protect the eyes from electronic products. When choosing an eyepiece, patients can consult a doctor or a professional optometrist to choose an appropriate eyepiece according to their needs and budget.
Keratoscope
Corneal shaping lens is a special contact lens, which is also suitable for patients with low myopia. Different from ordinary contact lenses, corneal shaping lenses are worn when sleeping, which can correct myopia by shaping the cornea. It is unnecessary to wear glasses during the day, and the vision will remain within the normal range.
The advantage of the corneal shaping lens is that it does not need to be worn every day, so it is very convenient for people who need frequent exercise. At the same time, because it is customized and can be made according to the shape and degree of individual eyeballs, it can achieve better correction effect. However, there is a certain learning cycle for corneal plastic lens, and patients need to be patient to adapt, follow the doctor's advice and use methods.
Laser surgery
Laser surgery is a common method of myopia correction. It changes the shape of the cornea by laser cutting on the cornea, so as to achieve the correction of myopia. The advantage of laser surgery is that the correction effect is obvious. One operation can last for a long time, even for life. The operation process is generally short and safe, but it also needs to be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors.
There are different types of laser surgery, such as LASIK and PRK. Patients need to consider their eyeball shape, degree and surgical risk when selecting. This treatment method is generally suitable for patients with high myopia, but for some specific eye conditions, laser surgery may not be applicable, so you must follow the advice of professional doctors when choosing.
Refractive surgery of eyeball
Refractive surgery is a complicated method of myopia correction, which can be achieved by changing the refractive state of the eye. This kind of surgery is generally applicable to myopia patients with high degree, thin cornea or other methods that are ineffective.
The correction effect of ocular refractive surgery is significant, but the risk of surgery is relatively high, which requires patients to have sufficient psychological preparation and choose the correct hospital and doctor. After the operation, recovery and eye protection should be done to avoid complications.
Summary
Choosing an appropriate treatment method for myopia is an important decision related to vision health, which requires patients to fully consider personal needs, living habits, doctor's advice and other factors. Shanghai Eye Hospital, as a professional eye hospital, provides a variety of methods to treat myopia. Whether it is eyeglasses, corneal shaping glasses, laser surgery or eye refraction surgery, it needs to be conducted under the guidance of doctors, and the most appropriate method should be selected according to personal conditions. The ultimate goal is to achieve the effect of correcting myopia, protecting vision and improving the quality of life.
