What is the applicable age range of OK ophthalmoscope in Guangzhou Zhongshan Third Hospital?

The Ophthalmology Department of Guangzhou Zhongshan Third Hospital is a professional ophthalmic hospital located in Zhongshan Third Road, Guangzhou, which provides diagnosis and treatment services for various ophthalmic diseases. Among them, OK mirror is a non operative method to correct myopia, which attracts much attention. So, what is the age range of OK mirror? We will elaborate from many aspects.

Physiological principle of OK mirror applicable to age range

OK lens (corneal shaping lens) corrects myopia by wearing lenses at night. Its principle is to use lenses to compress and shape the cornea to change the shape of the cornea, so as to achieve the purpose of correcting vision. Because the corneas of children and adolescents have strong elasticity and adaptability, OK lenses are more effective at this age.

Generally speaking, the vision of children and adolescents is still in the development stage, and the degree of myopia increases rapidly. Therefore, using OK glasses at this stage can effectively prevent the further increase of the degree of myopia. The cornea of adults has been fully developed, and the effect of using OK lens is relatively weak. For adults, other methods to correct myopia may be more suitable.

Applicable age range for children

The onset age of myopia in modern children is getting earlier and earlier, generally starting from preschool children. According to the experience of the ophthalmology department of the Third Hospital of Zhongshan, Guangzhou, the applicable age range for children to use OK mirrors is usually between 6 and 18 years old. This age group is the critical period for children's vision development. Using OK glasses can effectively correct myopia.

In addition, the doctor will make a detailed assessment according to the child's specific conditions, such as corneal curvature, diopter, etc., to determine whether it is appropriate to use OK lenses to correct myopia. Therefore, if your child wants to use OK lenses, it is best to consult a professional ophthalmologist for advice.

Applicable age range for teenagers

For adolescents under 18 years of age, their eyesight is still in the development stage. Using OK glasses can effectively control the growth of myopia. According to the experience of the ophthalmology department of Guangzhou Zhongshan Third Hospital, the applicable age range is usually between 12 and 18 years old.

Similarly, doctors will evaluate the corneal curvature, diopter and other specific conditions, and determine whether it is appropriate to use OK lens for correction in combination with family conditions, children's wishes and other comprehensive factors.

In this age group, the use of OK lenses can effectively control the growth of myopia and achieve satisfactory correction results.
