Treatment plan of Wuhan Children's Myopia Hospital
Children's myopia is a major challenge in the field of children's eye health. As a professional ophthalmic medical institution, a Wuhan Children's Myopia Hospital has provided a series of treatment schemes for children's myopia. The treatment plan will be described in detail from four aspects: corneal plastic lens, drug treatment, behavior control and surgical correction.
1. Corneal plastic lens treatment
Corneal shaping lens, also known as contact lens, is a specially designed soft lens that corrects myopia by changing the shape of the corneal surface. This treatment scheme is suitable for children with low myopia.
During the treatment, doctors will customize a pair of special contact lenses according to the patient's eye degree and eye shape. The patient wore contact lenses before going to bed at night, and achieved the effect of correcting myopia by changing the cornea with lenses during sleep. After taking out the mirror in the morning, the patient's vision will be corrected in degree while maintaining normal level all day long.
The treatment of corneal plastic lens has the advantages of lasting correction effect, no influence on daily life and appearance, no side effects, etc., but it also needs the active cooperation and reasonable use of patients and parents.
2. Drug treatment
The children's myopia hospital also uses drug treatment to slow down the development of myopia. This treatment scheme usually uses topical eye medication, and currently the most commonly used is low concentration atropine.
The mechanism of drug treatment is to reduce the influence of intraocular height on the axial shape of the eye when myopia occurs by expanding the pupil, thus slowing down the development of myopia. However, the effect of drug treatment varies from person to person. It may be effective for some patients, but it does not apply to all children.
Drug treatment usually requires the guidance and monitoring of doctors to ensure the safety and efficacy of drugs.
3. Behavior control
Behavior control is one of the important aspects in the treatment of children's myopia. It mainly reduces the progress of myopia by adjusting children's living habits and behavior.
First of all, children should control the time of using their eyes in close proximity, avoid staring at electronic product screens or books for a long time, and properly rest their eyes. In addition, outdoor activities are also very important. The perspective in the sun plays a very good role in protecting the eyes and can effectively prevent myopia.
In addition, maintaining good learning posture and maintaining correct eye distance and angle are also important measures to prevent myopia.
4. Surgical correction
For children with severe myopia, surgical correction is an optional treatment. Common surgical correction methods include LASIK and ICL.
LASIK surgery is a kind of treatment to correct myopia by cutting the corneal surface tissue and using laser to correct the corneal shape, thereby changing the refraction of the eyeball. ICL surgery is to implant foldable intraocular lens into the eye to change the refraction of the eye, so as to achieve the effect of correcting myopia.
Surgical correction is a high-risk treatment method in the treatment of children's myopia. Parents and doctors need to jointly assess the adaptability and surgical risks of the patients and decide whether to adopt such a treatment scheme.
To sum up, Wuhan Children's Myopia Hospital has provided a series of treatment schemes including corneal plastic lens treatment, drug treatment, behavior control and surgical correction. According to the specific situation of children, doctors can choose appropriate treatment methods to achieve the desired correction effect. Parents and patients should also pay attention to the rational use of eyes, develop good eye habits, early detection and treatment of myopia, and protect children's eye health.
