Methods to prevent myopia from worsening

Myopia is that the light focus of the eyeball gathers in front of the retina, leading to blurred objects in the distance. Myopia is increasing worldwide, especially in urban areas of developing countries. In order to prevent the deterioration of myopia, the following are some effective methods:

First of all, it is very important to use electronic equipment correctly. Myopia is closely related to staring at the electronic screen for a long time. Therefore, the 20-20-20 rule should be followed: look at objects 20 feet (about 6 meters) away every 20 minutes for 20 seconds to reduce eye fatigue.

Secondly, keeping good eyesight habits is also the key to prevent myopia. Correct reading posture and distance, appropriate lighting conditions and appropriate reading time are all helpful for eye protection. In addition, keeping enough outdoor activity time is also an important factor in preventing myopia.

Finally, regular eye exercises can help prevent myopia from worsening. Common eye exercises include eye movement, multiple blinks, and switching between near and far focus. These simple exercises can enhance the adjustment ability of the eye, alleviate eye fatigue, and reduce the development of myopia.

Ophthalmic surgery with lasting and stable effect

Ophthalmic surgery is a way to improve vision, which is especially attractive to those who do not want to rely on glasses or contact lenses. Here are some eye surgeries with lasting and stable effects:

First of all, laser corneal refractive surgery (LASIK) is a common surgery to correct myopia. It uses lasers to change the shape of the cornea to correct vision problems. This operation is a very mature and safe method, which can significantly improve the degree of myopia in a short period of time and has a lasting effect.

Secondly, lens implantation (ICL) is an operation suitable for patients with high myopia. In ICL surgery, doctors implant intraocular lenses into the eyeball to change the focus of light. The effect of this kind of implanted lens is very stable, which can last for several years, and the recovery time after surgery is short.

In addition, lens replacement surgery is suitable for cataract patients and can also correct myopia. In this operation, doctors replace the damaged lens with an intraocular lens. The effect of lens replacement surgery is stable and lasting, and it can also solve the problems of cataract and myopia at the same time.

conclusion

Myopia is a common eye problem. In order to prevent the deterioration of myopia, it is very important to use electronic equipment correctly, maintain good eyesight habits and carry out regular eye exercises. Of course, ophthalmic surgery is also an effective choice for those who want to get rid of glasses or contact lenses. Laser corneal refractive surgery, lens implantation and lens replacement surgery are all ophthalmic operations with lasting and stable effects. No matter which method is adopted, early prevention and treatment of myopia is the key to protecting eye health.
