Methods of treating myopia
Myopia refers to the fact that the focal length of the eye is too long, resulting in blurred vision of distant objects. It is called myopia. Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Hospital, as a professional eye hospital, provides a variety of methods to treat myopia. The following will elaborate from four aspects: angle, eye exercises, drug treatment and surgical treatment.
1. Angle adjustment
Angle adjustment is a very effective method to treat myopia. By adjusting the angle between the eye and the object, the light can be correctly focused on the retina, thus improving the ability of hyperopia. Myopic patients can adjust the angle by wearing special glasses or contact lenses to correct myopia. In addition, the occurrence of myopia can also be reduced by standardizing the use of electronic products and maintaining good eye hygiene.
The treatment of angle adjustment is simple and safe, but the effect is relatively poor for high myopia. Therefore, if the degree of myopia is high and continues to grow, other treatments need to be considered.
2. Eye exercises
Eye exercises is a simple and easy way to treat myopia. This method improves the adjustment ability of the eye through eye movement and eye muscle contraction and relaxation, thereby slowing down the development of myopia. The eye health exercises recommended by Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Hospital include myopic exercises, visual relaxation exercises, visual tracking exercises, etc. Patients can practice regularly according to the guidance of doctors.
The advantage of eye exercises is that it is simple and easy to operate, and it is suitable for patients of all ages. However, long-term practice is required, and the effect is relatively slow, which has limited effect on myopia that has developed to a certain extent.
3. Drug treatment
Drug therapy is a method of treating myopia by taking drugs. The commonly used drugs in Zhongshan Eye Hospital in Guangzhou include traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine. The commonly used Chinese medicines in traditional Chinese medicine prescriptions are medlar, prunella vulgaris, chrysanthemum, etc. These drugs have the functions of promoting blood circulation, removing blood stasis, clearing heat and improving eyesight, which can improve the blood circulation of the eyes and slow down the development of myopia. In terms of western medicine, the commonly used drugs in hospitals are dopamine, atropine, etc. These drugs can achieve the purpose of treatment by inhibiting the development of myopia.
The advantages of drug treatment are simple operation and fast effect, but the efficacy of different patients varies greatly, and there may be some side effects. Therefore, the choice of medication needs to be guided by doctors and adjusted according to individual conditions.
4. Surgical treatment
Surgical treatment is a radical method to treat myopia, which is suitable for patients with high myopia degree and continuous growth. Zhongshan Eye Hospital in Guangzhou provides a variety of surgical treatment options, such as laser keratoplasty (LASIK), iontophoresis (ICL), etc. These operations can effectively correct myopia by changing the shape of the cornea or implanting lenses.
The advantage of surgical treatment is that the treatment effect is significant, which can greatly improve the vision of myopia. However, the operation risk is high, and the recovery period is relatively long. The patient needs to carry out a comprehensive eye examination before the operation, and follow the doctor's recommendations for surgery.
Summary
Guangzhou Zhongshan Eye Hospital, as a professional eye hospital, provides a variety of methods to treat myopia. Angle adjustment, eye exercises, medication and surgery are commonly used treatment methods. Angle adjustment is a very effective treatment for mild myopia. Eye exercises improve the adjustment ability of the eyeball through eye movement and eye muscle contraction and relaxation, and are suitable for patients of all ages. Drug therapy improves the blood circulation of the eye and inhibits the development of myopia by taking drugs. Surgical treatment is a more radical treatment method, which is suitable for patients with high myopia and continuous growth. The selection of appropriate treatment methods needs to be judged according to individual conditions and doctor's suggestions.
