Myopia of adolescents 1

Misunderstanding 1: The child's poor eyesight is myopia

There are also two types of low vision: physiological and pathological. 95% of the visual acuity of preschool children is not myopia but caused by hyperopia and astigmatism. Parents find that their children have eye problems and go to a professional eye hospital for examination as soon as possible.

Misunderstanding 2: Don't wear glasses too early for myopia

"Once you wear glasses, myopia will get deeper and deeper." Children with myopia will squint their eyes when looking at distant objects without glasses, which will make the development of myopia faster. Many parents think that "wear glasses early, the closer they are", and they unfoundedly refuse to correct their children with glasses.

The myopia of most adolescents is simple myopia. It starts at school age, and its degree increases with age. It stabilizes around 18-20 years old. Therefore, myopia will have a development process, which is not caused by wearing glasses.

In addition, after wearing the glasses, you must go to the hospital for regular check-ups, and give corrective treatments according to different developments in time.

Misunderstanding 3: do not distinguish between true and false myopia

The so-called "pseudo-myopia" refers to the loss of vision caused by excessive fatigue of the eyes. After mydriasis and refraction, it is mild hyperopia or no nearsightedness, which is a completely normal refractive state. Many parents give their children glasses without mydriatic refraction in the optical shop, so that false myopia can become true myopia.
