Guangzhou Zhongshan Children's Ophthalmology Expert: Is Corneal Shaping Therapy Suitable for Young Children?

introduction

Corneal shaping therapy, as a non operative treatment for myopia, has been widely used in the world in recent years. However, for young children, it is still controversial whether corneal shaping therapy is suitable for myopia treatment. This article will discuss this problem from the aspects of children's physiological development, treatment effect, treatment process and safety.

Physiological development of children

Corneal development of young children is not yet fully mature. Corneal shaping therapy may affect the growth and development of cornea. Some studies show that after children under 6 years old use corneal shaping therapy to treat myopia, the corneal curvature will change, which may lead to thinning or deformation of the cornea. However, some studies have pointed out that under appropriate circumstances, corneal shaping therapy has a small impact on the growth and development of young children's cornea, the treatment effect is sustainable, and will not have an irreversible impact on their vision. In the clinical practice conducted by children's ophthalmologists in Zhongshan, Guangzhou, they evaluated each child's specific conditions, combined with age, myopia, corneal curvature and other factors, to decide whether to use corneal shaping therapy. They adhered to the principle of "safety first" to ensure that the child's eye growth was protected during treatment, and achieved good treatment results.

treatment effect

The effect of young children using corneal shaping therapy for myopia may be different from that of adults. Some studies show that young children use corneal shaping therapy to treat myopia, the treatment effect is relatively good, and the growth rate of myopia degree is slow. This may be related to the corneal development of young children. The corneal plasticity is stronger, and it is more likely to be affected by plastic therapy. However, some research results show that the growth rate of myopia degree does not decrease significantly after young children use corneal shaping therapy to treat myopia. This indicates that the treatment effect is affected by age factors, and children of different ages may have differences. Although the therapeutic effect of corneal shaping therapy in young children is still controversial, in the practice of children's ophthalmologists in Zhongshan, Guangzhou, they found that the treatment method is effective for some young children and can significantly slow down the growth of myopia.

Treatment process

For young children, the use of corneal shaping therapy to treat myopia requires more careful medical care, including regular reexamination, timely adjustment of lenses, and monitoring of the child's corneal condition at any time. During the treatment, children and parents need to actively cooperate with the guidance of doctors, wear corneal shaping lenses reasonably, and recheck on time. In the department of children's ophthalmology experts in Zhongshan, Guangzhou, doctors will make personalized treatment plans according to the children's age, appropriate corneal shaping lens type, wearing time, etc., to ensure the comfort and safety of children in the treatment process. They pay attention to communication with children and parents and provide all-round and personalized services.

Security

As a non operative treatment method, corneal shaping therapy has the advantage of higher safety compared with traditional corneal refractive surgery. However, although corneal shaping therapy has been widely used in many countries, its safety still needs further research for young children. In the clinical practice of children's ophthalmologists in Zhongshan, Guangzhou, doctors strictly control the indications of treatment, select appropriate treatment methods according to the specific conditions of children, and ensure the safety of treatment. They were closely monitored during the treatment, and the corneal shaping lenses they wore were strictly disinfected to avoid infection and other safety problems.

summary

To sum up, there are some disputes about whether young children are suitable for corneal shaping therapy to treat myopia. Although some studies have shown that it has a good therapeutic effect on young children, some studies have shown that age may have an impact on its therapeutic effect. In the practice of children's ophthalmologists in Zhongshan, Guangzhou, they evaluated the children according to their specific conditions, combined with age, corneal development status, myopia degree and other factors, and decided whether to use corneal shaping therapy according to the actual situation. During the treatment, they pay attention to the control of the child's physiological development, treatment effect, treatment process and safety, so as to ensure the effect and safety of the child in the treatment. Therefore, corneal shaping therapy for young children should be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors, and scientific decisions should be made according to the specific circumstances.
