Treatment of myopia

Myopia is a common vision problem. With the development of modern science and technology, more and more people take positive measures to correct myopia, so as to improve eyesight and reduce the impact on life and work. Guangzhou Zhongshan Affiliated Eye Hospital is a professional eye hospital, which provides various treatment methods to help myopia patients. The treatment of myopia will be described in detail from four aspects: glasses, contact lenses, medication and surgery.

glasses

Glasses are one of the most common and simple ways to treat myopia. Wearing myopia glasses can make vision clear by correcting the refraction of light. Glasses are a non-invasive corrective method, suitable for patients of all ages. According to different degrees of myopia, doctors will equip patients with appropriate lenses to improve vision and reduce visual fatigue. Glasses can be put on and taken off at any time, which is convenient to use and has no side effects. In addition, for some special cases of myopia, such as astigmatism or different binocular refraction, doctors may equip patients with specially designed glasses to better correct vision problems. Glasses are an economical treatment option, suitable for patients seeking convenience and cost saving.

contact lenses

Contact lenses are another common way to correct myopia. Unlike ordinary glasses, contact lenses can be directly attached to the surface of the eye, changing the refraction of light in the eye, thus improving vision. Compared with glasses, contact lenses will not change the appearance of patients, and are more suitable for some patients who have requirements for appearance. Contact lenses are divided into soft and hard types. Soft contact lenses are soft and comfortable, suitable for most patients, especially those with activity needs. Hard contact lenses can correct myopia more accurately, but patients who are not suitable for hard contact lenses may need a longer adaptation period. The use of contact lenses requires strict compliance with the doctor's advice and guidance, including correct use methods, regular replacement and eye care. Incorrect use of contact lenses may cause eye infections or other problems.

medication

Drug therapy is a kind of treatment to assist myopia. At present, there are some drugs on the market that can be used to control the development of myopia. These drugs mainly include eyedrops and oral drugs. Atropine is a commonly used drug ingredient in eye drops, which can relax eye muscles and slow down the development of myopia. The common ingredient of oral medicine is atropine or other similar drugs, which can improve the refractive state of the eye by regulating the metabolic process of the eye. However, drug therapy is still in the stage of research and experiment and has not been widely used in clinical practice. For some specific cases of myopia, doctors can consider drug treatment as an auxiliary means according to the specific conditions of patients.

surgical treatment

When other treatment methods cannot meet the needs of patients, surgery can be considered to provide long-term correction effect for myopia. Myopic surgery can change the shape of the eyeball in different ways, so as to achieve the purpose of correcting vision. At present, the common surgical methods include laser corneal correction (LASIK), surface laser correction (PRK) and intraocular lens implantation. These surgical methods are invasive treatments that need to be performed in the operating room by experienced ophthalmologists. After the operation, the patient needs proper recovery and eye care. The effect of surgical treatment varies with the patient's own situation and the choice of surgical method. When considering surgical treatment, patients need to fully communicate with doctors to understand the surgical risks and postoperative precautions.

Summary

There are a variety of treatment methods for myopia, and appropriate treatment methods can be selected according to the specific conditions and needs of patients. Glasses and contact lenses are non-invasive treatments for patients of all ages. Medical treatment and surgical treatment can provide a longer term correction effect, but patients need to carefully consider and fully communicate with doctors. Guangzhou Zhongshan Affiliated Eye Hospital, as a professional eye hospital, can provide personalized treatment plans according to the specific conditions of patients to help patients improve their vision problems and improve their quality of life.
