Causes of myopia glasses failing to treat corneal diseases

Myopic glasses are a common vision correction tool, which can help people to improve myopia. However, myopia glasses cannot treat corneal diseases for several reasons:

1. Myopic glasses are only for ametropia

Corneopathy refers to the morphological or structural changes of the cornea of the eye, including corneal ulcer, keratitis, etc. Myopia is a kind of ametropia, that is, the brightness is focused in front of the retina due to the long eyeball or high corneal curvature. The function of myopia glasses is to help focus distant objects on the retina through the lens, so as to improve the far vision of myopia patients. However, myopia glasses can not change or cure the corneal lesions.

2. Corneal lesions need professional treatment

Corneopathy is a disease that needs to be diagnosed and treated by experienced professional ophthalmologists. For patients with keratopathy, comprehensive examination and individualized treatment plan should be carried out first. This may involve drug treatment, surgical treatment or other treatments. Myopic glasses can only provide short-term vision improvement, but cannot provide professional treatment for keratopathy.

3. Myopic glasses may aggravate the disease

Corneal lesions are often associated with inflammation or injury of eye tissues. The wearing of myopia glasses may lead to the increase of intraocular pressure, which will cause additional pressure on corneal diseases. In addition, nearsighted glasses may also limit the oxygen supply to the eyes and strengthen the risk of eye infection. Therefore, in the case of corneal disease, wearing myopia glasses may aggravate the process of the disease and is not conducive to corneal rehabilitation.

4. Selection of other treatment methods

In addition to myopia glasses, there are other more suitable treatment methods for patients with keratopathy. For example, in some cases of corneal ulcer, the doctor may recommend the use of antibiotic eyedrops or eyedrops on the cornea. Serious corneal diseases may require surgical treatment, including corneal transplantation. These treatment methods can really solve the problem of keratopathy.

summary

Myopic glasses cannot treat corneal diseases because they are only for ametropia, and corneal diseases are a kind of corneal diseases. Corneal diseases need professional doctors to treat them, while myopia glasses can only provide temporary vision improvement. In addition, wearing myopia glasses may aggravate the process of the disease, and there are other more suitable treatment options. Therefore, for patients with keratopathy, professional ophthalmologists should be sought for diagnosis and treatment to achieve better results.
