Misunderstandings in the Treatment of Myopia in Children

Misunderstandings in the treatment of children's myopia:

1. Children's myopia is pseudomyopia. Once their children have decreased vision or uncomfortable eyes, many parents take it for granted that it is pseudomyopia and are busy buying eye care products or looking for folk prescriptions for treatment. Experts said that parents should take their children to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to determine whether it is myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism, or other eye diseases for symptomatic treatment.

2. The more early wearing glasses, the more myopia. Some parents hold the old ideas of "the more early wearing glasses, the more myopia", and groundlessly refuse to provide glasses for their children for correction. Experts said that parents should consider glasses according to the results of optometry, combined with vision requirements, eye position, eye muscle movement, amblyopia and so on. Before matching glasses, the first thing is to receive optometry from an optometrist. Only when the refractive state of the eye is clear, can appropriate lenses be given.

3. Only with glasses without ophthalmic examination, how can myopia restore vision? Some parents often choose an optical shop casually, especially some non-standard optical shops to match their children's glasses. Experts said that there are many reasons for the decline of children's vision, which is not necessarily caused by myopia. It is suggested that systematic ophthalmic examination should be carried out before optometry. The younger children should have mydriatic optometry before the first glasses. Through mydriatic optometry, we can distinguish whether myopia is true or false.

4. After wearing glasses, there is no need to recheck. Many parents think that everything is fine after matching glasses for children with myopia. They don't need to worry about their children's vision problems anymore. Experts said that often asking children with myopia wearing glasses to go to the hospital for review can not only clarify whether the children's original pseudomyopia has been cured and whether the pseudomyopia in mixed myopia has been cured, but also clarify whether the children's original true myopia has developed. It is suggested that parents should often take children with myopia to the hospital for recheck after wearing glasses, and recheck at least once a year.

5. Myopia can be cured in a short time. How does myopia restore eyesight? *** Many unscrupulous businesses also take advantage of this psychology of parents, claiming that some method or instrument can cure myopia within a month or even more than ten days, leading to many parents being deceived. Experts said that the prevention and treatment of myopia is a long-term process, and any short-term assault treatment can not cure myopia. The prevention and treatment of myopia must start at the age of five or six, and can not stop until the age of 18 ~ 20.
