Methods of treating myopia
The Ophthalmology Department of Guangzhou Zhongshan First Hospital is a hospital specializing in the treatment of eye diseases. For myopia, we provide a variety of treatment methods, which will be described in detail in the following four aspects: glasses, contact lenses, surgery and eye exercises.
glasses
Glasses are one of the most common, simple and economical myopia correction methods. According to the different degrees of myopia, glasses can be divided into myopia glasses and corrective myopia glasses. Myopic lens weakens the refraction of the eye through the concave lens, so that the light can focus on the retina to correct the problem of blurred vision. The corrective myopia lens is specially designed for different diopters, which can not only correct the degree of myopia, but also prevent myopia from deepening.
It is very important for young patients to adjust their glasses frequently. Because the eyes of teenagers develop rapidly and the degree may change, it is necessary to check and replace glasses regularly. In addition, choose glasses suitable for your own degree, pay attention to keeping them clean, and avoid using your eyes for a long time when wearing glasses, which is also helpful for the treatment of myopia.
However, glasses can only correct vision problems, not cure myopia, so we also provide other treatments.
contact lenses
Contact lenses are another common correction method for myopia. Compared with glasses, contact lenses have better appearance, wider vision, and can eliminate distortion caused by lens edge deformation. Contact lenses can be divided into daily, biweekly and monthly depending on the time of use. Patients can choose suitable contact lenses according to their needs and economic conditions.
However, wearing contact lenses for a long time will also cause certain pressure on the cornea, which is likely to lead to eye discomfort and maladjustment symptoms. Therefore, when using contact lenses, pay attention to personal hygiene, regularly check the corneal condition, and follow the doctor's advice to wear and care correctly.
operation
Surgery is one of the most thorough methods for myopia treatment. It can permanently change the refraction of the eye, thus reducing or even eliminating myopia. At present, the common surgical methods are laser surgery and lens implantation surgery.
Laser surgery removes the film on the upper layer of the cornea through laser, changes the corneal curvature, and thus reduces the degree of myopia. Laser surgery has the advantages of fast recovery, good effect and no scar, but it requires patients to have certain surgical conditions and postoperative care.
The lens implantation surgery is to implant the intraocular lens into the eyeball to replace the function of the original lens, so as to reduce the degree of myopia. The lens implantation operation has a wide scope of application, and the recovery and effect after the operation are stable, but the operation risk is relatively high, and patients need to be guided by doctors.
Eye exercises
Eye exercises is a very simple and convenient treatment method for myopia, which is often used as an auxiliary treatment method. Through eye movement, eye movement, eye massage and other activities, it can promote eye blood circulation, alleviate eye fatigue, and reduce the symptoms of vision loss.
Eye exercises can be carried out anytime, anywhere, without special equipment or environment, and are suitable for myopia patients of all ages. Regular eye exercises can not only help alleviate the symptoms of myopia, but also prevent further deepening of myopia.
