Treatment of myopia
Myopia, also known as myopia, is a common ophthalmic problem, which is mainly manifested as the phenomenon that distant objects are blurred and near objects are clear. So, is ophthalmology effective in treating myopia? Let's discuss it in detail.
1. Correct vision
Correction of vision is one of the basic methods for myopia treatment. Wearing glasses, contact lenses or performing myopia surgery can help myopia patients see distant objects more clearly. This method is the most commonly used way to treat myopia, and it is very effective for patients with mild to moderate myopia.
There are many ways to correct myopia, and optical lens is the most common one. Since myopia of different degrees requires lenses of different diopters for correction, it is recommended that patients go to a regular eye hospital for glasses matching. In addition, contact lenses are also the correction method chosen by many myopia patients. However, when using contact lenses, attention should be paid to hygiene and correct use methods to avoid causing other eye problems.
2. Vision protection and eye care
In addition to correcting vision, vision protection and eye health care can not be ignored in the treatment of myopia. As we all know, long-term overuse of eyes is one of the main reasons for myopia. Therefore, scientific and reasonable arrangement of eye use time and rest plays a very important role in improving myopia.
Maintaining correct eye posture, such as sitting upright, keeping a certain distance from the screen, and paying attention to light when reading, will help reduce the development of myopia. In addition, eye rehabilitation training such as eye exercises and eye massage can also improve the blood circulation and regulation function of the eyes, thus slowing down the progress of myopia.
In addition, diet conditioning is also an important part of vision protection. Taking more foods rich in vitamin A, C, E, etc., such as carrots, fruits, nuts, etc., will help improve the health of the eyes.
3. Myopia control treatment
In recent years, myopic control therapy has become a new way to treat myopia. The treatment method aims to delay or reduce the degree of myopia by controlling the growth rate of myopia. The development of myopia can be effectively controlled by using specific corneal shaping lenses, low concentration eyedrops and other treatments.
This approach is particularly applicable to children and adolescents. Early treatment can significantly slow down the growth of myopia, help children reduce unnecessary vision loss, and effectively reduce the risk of high myopia in the later period.
4. Myopia surgery
For patients with high myopia, myopia surgery is a common treatment. At present, the common myopia surgery includes laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) and laser subepithelial keratectomy (PRK). These operations correct myopia by changing the shape of the cornea.
These operations belong to minimally invasive surgery, which can recover quickly and have stable effects. Myopic surgery is suitable for myopic patients with stable degree, but needs to be guided by professional doctors to make decisions.
summary
The treatment of myopia in ophthalmology is a complex and diversified work, which requires comprehensive consideration of the specific conditions of patients and the treatment effect. Correction of vision, vision protection and eye care, myopia control treatment and myopia surgery are common treatment methods.
Through reasonable treatment and scientific eye care, we can effectively treat myopia, reduce the inconvenience caused by myopia, and protect eye health. However, it needs to be emphasized that different patients have different conditions, and appropriate treatment methods should be selected according to individual conditions, and doctors' suggestions should be followed for treatment.
