Causes and effects of myopia in children
Children's myopia is one of the increasingly serious eye health problems in recent years. According to the statistics of Ouzhuang Eye Hospital, myopia has become one of the most common vision problems among Chinese children. The incidence of myopia has gradually increased from the age of 3 to more than 50% by the age of 15. The occurrence of myopia in children is related to genetic factors, as well as living environment, eye habits and diet.
Children's myopia not only affects children's daily life and learning, but also may lead to serious complications such as further decline in vision and retinal detachment. The eye is one of the important sensory organs. The occurrence of children's myopia is not only a vision problem, but also an important issue related to the overall growth and development of children.
Experts from Ouzhuang Eye Hospital pointed out that it is very important to find children's myopia as soon as possible and take effective corrective measures.
Common and effective corrective methods
For children's myopia, Ouzhuang Eye Hospital recommends several common effective correction methods for children of different ages:
1. Wearing myopic glasses: for short-term myopia caused by low myopia or long time seeing near objects, wearing myopic glasses can effectively correct hyperopia.
2. Use of visual training equipment: visual training equipment can help children improve eye movement coordination and adjustment ability through a series of training procedures, thus reducing the growth of myopia.
3. Corneal shaping lens correction: Corneal shaping lens is a special kind of contact lens. By shaping the shape of the cornea, the wearer can normally see distant objects without wearing lenses.
4. Refractive surgery: For school-age children, Ouzhuang Eye Hospital can perform refractive surgery according to the specific conditions of patients. Refractive surgery can change the cornea to correct myopia.
Selection of effective corrective methods
Several factors need to be taken into consideration when selecting an appropriate corrective method. Experts from Ouzhuang Eye Hospital stressed that each child's situation is unique, so when selecting correction methods, professional doctors should conduct a comprehensive assessment based on the patient's age, myopia, eye health, etc.
For children with strong normal reaction ability, wearing myopia glasses is usually the first choice for correction. For greater myopia or under the condition that the surgical conditions are met, corneal plastic lens or refractive surgery and other methods can obtain better correction effect.
After selecting the correction method, parents and children should cooperate together to wear glasses correctly or check the eye condition regularly according to the doctor's advice to ensure the durability of the correction effect.
Summary
Children's myopia is a common problem, but through reasonable selection and use of effective correction methods, it can effectively slow down the development of myopia and improve vision. Ouzhuang Eye Hospital provides a variety of effective correction methods, including myopia glasses, visual training instruments, corneal plastic lenses and refractive surgery. Parents and children need to choose appropriate correction methods according to their individual conditions, and pay attention to regular review and follow the doctor's recommendations to ensure the best lasting correction effect. Positive corrective measures can help children to establish good eye habits, promote eye health, improve quality of life and learning effect.
