Treatment of myopia
With the continuous change of modern technology and lifestyle, myopia has become a common visual problem. Myopia not only affects people's daily life and work, but also may lead to other eye problems. However, fortunately, modern medicine has many feasible methods to treat myopia. As an ophthalmologist in Guangzhou, I will introduce some common treatments for myopia.
1. Correct vision
Correction of vision is one of the most common and simple methods of myopia treatment. By wearing glasses or contact lenses, the vision of myopic patients can be effectively corrected, so that they can clearly see distant objects. For most myopia patients, this method is the most convenient and economical choice. However, correcting vision can not cure myopia, but can improve vision temporarily.
In addition, patients with a high degree of myopia may need to check their vision regularly and update the degree of glasses or contact lenses in time to ensure that their vision is effectively corrected.
2. Corneal shaping lens
Corneal plastic lens is a non operative treatment for patients with mild to moderate myopia. This special contact lens can correct vision by changing the shape of the cornea. The patient wears a corneal shaping lens when sleeping, and can have clear vision all day after taking it off in the morning. However, if you stop using the reshaping lens, your vision will still return to the original myopia. Therefore, it is necessary to wear corneal shaping glasses regularly to maintain the effect of vision correction.
Corneal plastic lens is a safe and effective treatment method, but it is necessary to find a professional ophthalmologist for appropriate glasses. In Guangzhou, there are many experienced ophthalmologists who can provide the fitting and guidance of corneal shaping lenses.
3. Refractive surgery
For myopic patients who do not want to rely on glasses or contact lenses, refractive surgery is a worthwhile option. There are many eye hospitals in Guangzhou that provide different types of refractive surgery, such as corneal laser correction (LASIK) and surface correction (PRK).
These operations can correct the vision of myopic patients by changing the shape of the cornea. They have relatively high success rate and satisfaction, but there are also certain risks and indications. Therefore, before considering refractive surgery, patients need to undergo a comprehensive eye examination and assessment, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of surgery with ophthalmologists.
4. Optometry
Optometry is a method of improving myopia by training and adjusting the visual system. Through a series of eye movements, visual training and eye care guidance, the vision and adjustment ability of myopia patients can be improved. Optometry usually requires a long time and patience, but it can effectively slow down the progress of myopia.
In the eye hospital in Guangzhou, there are many professional optometrists who can provide optometry treatment for myopia patients. After scientific research and practical verification, optometry can improve the vision of myopia patients to a certain extent and slow down the development of myopia.
Summary
Myopia is a common visual problem, but there are many feasible treatments that can help patients improve their vision. Correction of vision, corneal plastic lens, refractive surgery and optometry are the most common methods for myopia treatment. Each treatment method has its indications, advantages and disadvantages. Patients need to make choices according to their own conditions and doctors' suggestions. Guangzhou has many professional eye hospitals and doctors with rich experience and technology in myopia treatment, which can provide comprehensive eye health services for patients.
