Wuhan Niu's Eye Hospital: How to correct myopia?
Myopia is a common vision problem, especially in modern society, people who use electronic devices for a long time and lack outdoor activities are more likely to suffer from myopia. Wuhan Niu's Eye Hospital, as a professional eye hospital, provides patients with a variety of myopia correction methods. In the following aspects, we will discuss how to correct myopia in detail.
1. Principle of myopia correction
In order to better understand how to correct myopia, we first need to understand the principle of myopia. Myopia is caused by the growth of the long axis of the eye or the curvature of the cornea. Therefore, there are two main methods to correct myopia. One is to reduce the refractive power of the eye, such as using glasses, contact lenses, etc; The other is to change the shape of the cornea through surgery, such as LASIK.
Glasses are the most common and easiest way to correct myopia. Focus the light to the retina through the lens, so that distant objects can be clearly seen. Contact lenses also have this effect, but they are more natural and comfortable than glasses.
LASIK surgery is to change the shape of the cornea through laser technology, so as to reduce the refractive power of the eye and achieve the effect of correcting myopia. This kind of operation is generally applicable to adults, because the eyes of teenagers are not fully developed.
2. Selection of glasses and contact lenses
In the methods of correcting myopia, glasses and contact lenses are the most commonly used. Both have advantages and disadvantages, and patients can make choices according to their own needs and habits.
The advantage of glasses is that they are easy to use, relatively cheap, and can be put on and taken off at any time. In addition, the design of glasses is becoming more and more fashionable, which can give consideration to both fashion and corrective effects.
The advantage of contact lenses is that they can naturally correct vision without shadow or deformation of glasses. Contact lenses are a good choice for people who need to take part in sports or change their appearance frequently.
3. Applicable population and precautions for LASIK surgery
LASIK is an effective method to correct myopia, but it is not suitable for all people. In general, LASIK is suitable for people over 18 years old with stable myopia.
Before LASIK, the patient needs to have a detailed ophthalmic examination to ensure that their eye condition is suitable for surgery. Local anesthesia is generally used during the operation. The operation time is relatively short and the recovery period is relatively fast.
However, patients need to follow the doctor's advice after surgery, use eyedrops on time and avoid excessive eye irritation. In addition, it is necessary to have regular reexamination every year to ensure the stability of the surgical effect.
4. Prevention of myopia correction and eye care
In addition to correcting myopia, it is also important to prevent myopia. In order to protect our eyes, we can take the following measures:
First, keep good eye habits and avoid staring at electronic screens or books for a long time. At regular intervals, appropriate eye relaxation exercises can be carried out.
Secondly, do more outdoor activities to keep your eyes away from the near eye environment and enjoy the sunshine.
In addition, it is also important to have regular eye examinations. If myopia is found early, corrective measures can be taken earlier to reduce its impact on life and work.
Summary
Wuhan Niu's Eye Hospital has provided patients with a variety of myopia correction methods, including glasses, contact lenses and LASIK surgery. When choosing correction methods, patients can make choices according to their own needs and living habits. In addition, it is also important to prevent myopia. We should establish a good habit of using eyes, take more outdoor activities, and carry out eye examinations regularly. Through correct corrective and preventive measures, we can reduce the impact of myopia on life and work, and protect our vision health.
