How Much Do You Know About Eyes?(二)
Last week we shared three tips about eyes, have you all read them? If not, please move to last week's article.
Today we will continue to share 4 different aspects. Let’s start it.
Q: Reading glasses cannot be bought casually. Just like myopia glasses, do they need optometry?
A: Yes. Reading glasses bought casually have the same lens power for both eyes and a fixed pupil distance. If degrees of the two eyes are different, or there is a large astigmatism, eyes are prone to fatigue after wearing for a long time, and symptoms such as dizziness may also appear, which can cause great damage to the eyes. Therefore, presbyopia and myopia need to go to a regular eye hospital or optic center for optometry.
Q: Diabetes can cause eye complications?
A: Yes. In fact, not only diabetes can cause fundus complications, but other physical diseases can also cause other diseases such as high blood pressure. Diabetes can cause many ocular complications, such as "diabetic retinopathy" and other fundus problems. It is recommended that patients with diabetes check eyes from time to time and control and stabilize blood sugar.
Q: Will strabismus and myopia be inherited?
A: About myopia, genetics is one of the three major factors. Then strabismus is also inherited to a certain degree. If the parents or grandparents have strabismus, the chance of inheritance is relatively high. The types and reasons of strabismus are different, and the timing of treatment is also different. Generally speaking, the earlier, the better. If it is congenital strabismus, the operation should be made as soon as possible within 1-2 years of age. For intermittent exotropia, conservative observation or surgical treatment can be selected according to the situation.
Q: Does corneal transplantation need to be paired like other organs?
Answer: No. The cornea is the only organ without blood vessels among the organs used for transplantation. Not only does it not require a corneal donor to pair with the transplanted patient, but the chance of a successful transplant is very high.
