Recognition method of juvenile myopia
Teenager myopia is one of the common problems in ophthalmology. It appears in the growth period of children, which brings great trouble to their study and life. However, it is essential to identify and treat juvenile myopia as soon as possible to avoid further aggravating the degree of myopia. The following are some common identification methods.
First, pay attention to the children's eye behavior. Myopic patients often squint, blink, wipe their eyes, or often rub the area around their eyes. They may also rub or rub their eyes repeatedly to reduce visual fatigue. These behaviors may mean that they feel uncomfortable looking at objects or reading from a distance.
Secondly, visual inspection shall be carried out. In the home, school or hospital environment, use the standard vision chart to measure the naked eye vision of children. Normal vision should be above 1.0, and vision below 1.0 may indicate that the child has myopia. In addition, you can also use automatic optometer and other equipment to measure the diopter to further confirm whether there is myopia.
Finally, fundus examination was performed. Fundus examination can observe and evaluate fundus structure through professional instruments, including retina and optic nerve. Myopic patients often have too long eye axis, and eyeground may show obvious changes. Through fundus examination, ophthalmologists can further understand the eye conditions of myopic patients and formulate corresponding treatment plans.
Methods of treating juvenile myopia
Once diagnosed as myopia, adolescents need to be actively treated to reduce the further increase of myopia. Here are some commonly used treatments.
First, wear myopia glasses. Wearing myopia glasses is one of the most common treatment methods. Appropriate myopia glasses can correct the vision problems of teenagers and reduce the impact of myopia on their daily life and study. The ophthalmologist will determine the appropriate glasses degree according to the patient's vision and eye conditions.
Secondly, corneal plastic lens therapy was performed. Corneal shaping lens is a special kind of contact lens, which can be worn at night and removed during the day. By shaping the cornea, temporarily change the shape of the cornea to reduce myopia. This method is applicable to the patients with high myopia degree and rapid myopia progress.
Finally, optometry was performed. Optometry is a non operative treatment method, which improves vision by training eye muscles and improving eye coordination. This method is generally applicable to patients with low myopia and stable myopia. Optometry treatment is usually combined with regular review, so as to adjust the treatment process in time.
Preventive measures for juvenile myopia
In addition to treatment, it is also important to prevent juvenile myopia. Here are some precautions.
First, control the eye time. Long term eye use is one of the important factors leading to myopia. Teenagers should pay attention to regular rest and keeping away from close sight when reading, watching TV, using electronic equipment and other activities. The eye use time shall not be too long each time, and sufficient outdoor activity time shall be ensured.
Secondly, keep a good eye posture. Correct eye posture can reduce eye fatigue and stress. Teenagers should maintain correct sitting posture and eye distance, and avoid poor eye habits such as lowering their heads and getting close to books.
Finally, eye examinations should be carried out regularly. Regular ophthalmic examination can detect myopia as early as possible, so as to take timely treatment and intervention measures. Teenagers should have a comprehensive eye examination at least once a year, including vision, fundus and diopter.
summary
Teenagers' myopia is a common problem in ophthalmology, which has caused some trouble to children's study and life. By observing the behavior of using eyes, carrying out visual examination and fundus examination, we can identify juvenile myopia as soon as possible. The treatment methods for juvenile myopia include wearing myopia glasses, corneal shaping glasses and optometry. In addition, controlling the time of using eyes, keeping good posture of using eyes and carrying out eye examinations regularly are also important measures to prevent juvenile myopia. These methods can effectively identify and treat adolescent myopia and improve their vision and quality of life.
