How to tell if your child should wear glasses
First of all, it should be clear: the child's vision is unclear for the first time, and the correct approach is to go to a professional eye hospital for medical diagnosis at the first time to determine whether it is true myopia or pseudo-myopia.
Pseudomyopia is caused by excessive use of the eyes, generally through the correct way to alleviate the adjustment can be restored to normal; if it is true myopia, it is irreversible, this time it is necessary to follow the doctor's advice according to the examination results to wear glasses correction.

After myopia, the consequences of not wearing glasses are very serious!
For those children who have been diagnosed with true myopia in the hospital, it is necessary to have glasses fitted in time.

Because when the child can not see the distant things, from the near place to see the distance in the process of the eyeball will need more adjustment to see things, many children will squint their eyes to see, so that the eye length time in an over-regulated fatigue state, and at this time coupled with the child is in the development stage, the eye axis is also followed by a long, these two reasons are combined, but accelerate the development of myopia, long-term will be easy to develop into a high degree of myopia.

Myopia getting deeper and deeper after the child wears glasses?
The growth of the child's myopia is mainly related to the change of the eye axis, with the child's development, his height is long, the eye axis must follow the length, which is uncontrollable, so the child's annual increase of 0.25D ~ 0.50D is acceptable, and it has little to do with wearing glasses.
And after a large number of data comparison, children without glasses will grow faster than children with glasses, which is because children who do not wear glasses need a lot of adjustments to see far and near, resulting in more fatigue in the eyes, so that the degree increases faster and more rapidly.

How to control the growth of myopia?
Parents want to control the growth of their children's strength, in addition to wearing glasses and changing daily eye habits, they can also choose orthokeratology (ie OK mirrors).

It is a kind of inverse geometric design of hard breathable special contact lenses, can control the development of myopia very well, it is through the reshaping of the cornea to correct the child's myopia state, children wear at night when sleeping, during the day can temporarily have clear naked eye vision. Importantly, OK mirrors can prevent the rapid deepening of myopia and control and slow down the growth of myopia in children.
