Selection of treatment methods for myopia
With the increasing number of myopia patients, the methods of treating myopia are increasingly rich and diverse. Wuhan Renmin University Myopia Eye Hospital, as a professional eye hospital, has rich experience in myopia treatment. So, among the numerous treatment methods, which one is more effective? The following will analyze and compare several common treatment methods from different perspectives.
Ophthalmic correction
Glasses are a common method of correcting myopia. By providing patients with myopia glasses of appropriate degree, they can help them see distant objects clearly. Glasses correction is a simple, safe and effective treatment method, and is suitable for patients of all ages. Patients with low myopia can usually be corrected with glasses. At the same time, the glasses can be adjusted by checking the glasses regularly to gradually reduce the myopia.
However, glasses correction can not cure myopia, but improve vision temporarily. Wearing glasses for a long time may increase the dependence of eyes and accelerate the decline of vision.
Keratoscope
Corneal plastic lens is a method of treating myopia by changing the shape of the cornea. Patients wear specially shaped lenses when sleeping. The lenses will shape the cornea and make it flat, thus correcting myopia. When patients wake up, their vision will be significantly improved.
The corneal shaping lens has a certain correction effect and does not need to be worn for a long time. It is suitable for specific people, such as myopic patients with high degree and stable eyeballs. However, the scope of application of the corneal shaping lens is limited, and it is not suitable for some myopic patients, and the wearing process may have some discomfort.
Laser surgery
Laser surgery is a method to correct myopia by laser cutting cornea to change its shape. Among them, LASIK (laser in situ keratomileusis) is a common laser surgery technology, which is widely used in the treatment of myopia.
LASIK can correct myopia quickly, recover quickly, and improve the visual quality of patients. During the operation, doctors use lasers to precisely cut the eyes, and then reset the corneal tissue. Patients can usually return to normal life within a few days after the operation.
However, laser surgery also has certain risks, which may cause problems such as dry eyes, photosensitivity and vision changes after surgery. Moreover, the incidence of hyperopia after surgery is relatively high, which requires multiple reexaminations and adjustments.
Vision training
Vision training is a method to improve myopia through eye muscle exercise. Through a series of eye exercises and eye movements, the adjustment ability of the eyes is trained to improve vision.
The vision training method is simple and easy, and does not need additional equipment and costs. It is suitable for patients with mild myopia and has certain preventive effect. However, vision training needs long-term persistence, and the effect varies from person to person, so the effect may not be significant.
Summary
To sum up, the treatment methods for myopia include glasses correction, corneal plastic lens, laser surgery and vision training. Among them, glasses correction and corneal shaping glasses are suitable for patients with mild myopia, and have a certain effect. Laser surgery is applicable to those patients who want to improve their vision rapidly, but the risk and complexity of surgery should be considered. Vision training is a relatively conservative treatment, which is suitable for preventing and alleviating myopia. Therefore, when choosing treatment methods, patients should choose according to their own conditions and doctors' suggestions.
