How to choose suitable glasses for children?
At Guangzhou Zhongshan Children's Eye Hospital, we know that the choice of children's glasses is crucial to their vision health. How to choose suitable glasses for children is a problem that requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors. Below, we will elaborate for you from four aspects.
1. Optometry of glasses
Optometry is a key step in determining whether a child's eyes need correction. In Guangzhou Zhongshan Children's Eye Hospital, we have advanced optometry equipment and professional optometrists, who can accurately measure children's diopter and vision problems. When choosing glasses for children, it is first necessary to determine the appropriate degree and correction method according to the optometry results. Generally speaking, the choice of lenses varies with the degree of myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism.
Secondly, we will also consider the time and occasion when children use glasses. For children who need to do close activities for a long time, such as students, blue light proof lenses can be selected to reduce the fatigue of eyes.
Finally, in the optometry process, we will also check the children's binocular adjustment ability to see if additional functional lenses need to be added to help them better learn and activities.
2. Frame of glasses
Choosing the right frame is equally important for children's comfort and use experience. In Guangzhou Zhongshan Children's Eye Hospital, we provide glasses frames of various styles and materials to meet the needs of different children.
First of all, we will choose the appropriate frame size according to the size and shape of the child's face. The mirror frame should not be too small or too large to avoid discomfort to the bridge of nose and face of the child.
Secondly, we will also consider children's personal preferences and use environment. For example, for sports enthusiasts, we would recommend the use of lightweight and durable frames to ensure the stability of the lenses. For children with allergic rhinitis or sensitive skin, we will choose a nickel free or non allergenic frame to prevent allergic reactions.
Finally, we will try them on together with children and parents to confirm whether they are comfortable and suitable, so as to ensure that children can wear glasses for a long time.
3. Lens material of glasses
When selecting appropriate lens materials, we mainly consider the following factors: anti fatigue, anti light and anti scratch.
For students and other children who need a long time for close activities, we recommend using anti fatigue lenses. This kind of lens can effectively reduce the adjustment burden of the eyes on near objects and reduce the fatigue of the eyes.
We also provide anti AIDS lenses to reduce eye irritation caused by light sources such as electronic products and incandescent lamps. The lens can effectively protect the retina, reduce visual fatigue and visual damage.
Finally, in order to ensure the durability and clarity of the lens, we use high-quality materials and coatings to make the lens have good scratch resistance.
4. Use and care of glasses
In order to ensure the effect and safety of glasses used by children, we will also teach children and parents the correct use and nursing methods when selecting glasses.
First of all, we will tell children how to wear and remove glasses correctly to avoid damaging the frames and lenses. Children should hold the mirror leg with both hands correctly to avoid twisting the frame.
Secondly, we will introduce the correct cleaning and maintenance methods to children and parents. Children should use clean water or special detergent to clean the lens every day, and avoid using alcohol or corrosive detergent.
Finally, we will also emphasize the children's precautions, such as avoiding putting glasses in a hot or humid environment, avoiding putting glasses on hard objects, and avoiding activities with excessive head pressure.
In short, in Guangzhou Zhongshan Children's Eye Hospital, we not only provide children with appropriate glasses choices, but also focus on educating children to use and care for glasses correctly. Through comprehensive consideration of children's eye conditions, facial features, personal preferences and use environment, we strive to provide glasses that best meet children's needs to help them maintain good vision health.
