Now there are many children who obviously have myopia but do not go to the hospital for examination; even if the examination results, they are resolutely not worthy of wearing eyes. A large part of this is due to the incorrect understanding of the problem of myopia in parents:
Many parents mistakenly believe that children wear glasses at such a young age and can't take them off. The degree is still very low, there is no need to wear glasses! This misconception can cause a lot of damage to your child's eyes.
Optometry Jun reminds parents and friends:
Children with myopia do not wear glasses, and the consequences are very serious!!!

Vision declines faster
For children, if the eyes are myopic and do not wear glasses, it will aggravate the fatigue of the eyes. Although children's ciliary muscle adjustment ability is relatively strong, if they are in a state of spasm, eye fatigue will only aggravate the deepening of myopia, resulting in faster loss of vision.
Causes strabismus
Children with myopia without glasses, the adjustment of the ability to collect eyes is out of balance, which will affect the normal development of vision. For example, the difference in the degree of the two eyes is too large, if there is no glasses, some children's eyes will gradually develop into strabismus.
Causes amblyopia
If the child does not wear the right glasses, the eyes will always be in a state of blurred vision, and the eyes will not get enough light stimulation, which will lead to the development of visual function being hindered, resulting in low vision and amblyopia. Even in adulthood, corrected vision will not be particularly good, and even laser myopia surgery may be difficult to improve vision.
Discover myopia and the right way to cope
Adolescents and children:
Parents who find that their children have decreased vision should take their children to a regular ophthalmologist for medical refraction to confirm whether they are true myopia or pseudomyopia. If the diagnosis is true myopia, it is necessary to follow the doctor's instructions and use optical methods such as wearing glasses to correct it and control the deepening of myopia.
adult:
For adults, the appearance of vision loss and blurred vision should be paid more attention to. The cause of vision loss in adults, in addition to myopia, may also be cataracts, glaucoma, retinal detachment and other fundus diseases. It is necessary to go to the hospital as soon as possible to find out the cause and prescribe the right medicine. If the diagnosis is myopia, it is also necessary to correct it in time to avoid the development of higher heights.
