According to the Jiangsu public news channel "News 360" reported: the correct wearing of glasses can prevent the degree of myopia from deepening too quickly, but recently, there is a myopia correction agency called "Easy Vision Kang" announced that they have developed a double-layer glasses, after wearing not only the degree of myopia will not rise, but also reduce the degree; even after removing the glasses, naked eye vision can also be improved. Are these glasses really so magical?

"E-Vision" is a national chain of myopia correction institutions, and their main product is called "composite glasses". E-Vision Kang claims that this kind of glasses have two layers of lenses, the endoscope is a normal myopia glasses, the external mirror is a protective mirror, myopic children wear composite glasses when using the eyes at close range, and the external mirror can automatically adjust the angle of light to achieve the effect of myopia correction.
Are these glasses really as magical as advertised? On April 16 this year, the reporter accompanied a myopic child to the offline store of E-Vision in Nanjing's Lishui District. The clerk said that as long as the child wears composite glasses for correction training, the naked eye vision can be improved immediately. Before the training, the clerk checked the naked eye vision of this myopic child, and the naked eye vision of both eyes was 0.4.
After checking the naked eye vision, the clerk used a heat compress device to give the child a 10-minute eye heat compress, then put on composite glasses and looked at the eye chart 5 meters away for correction training.
A clerk at the Lishui shop of the Yishikang Vision Correction Center said that when he wore this glasses, he began to correct it himself.
After 15 minutes of correction training, the child took off his glasses to check the naked eye vision again, and his vision value really improved by one line. Before, only 0.4 could be seen, but now 0.5 can be seen very clearly.
Another clerk said that if you insist on wearing composite glasses for correction training, the naked eye vision value of myopic children can be increased by up to four lines.
The clerk also said that after the improvement of vision, it can remain stable and will not rebound. Of course, it will take about half a year to stabilize your vision.
【Glasses are expensive, many honors and qualifications in the store are "copycat goods"】
The reporter noted that the store's billboard showed that this composite glasses can "completely block the root cause of myopia", and wearing it for 100 days can reduce the degree of myopia by 50 to 100 degrees. However, when the reporter verified with the clerk whether the composite glasses could really reduce the degree, the clerk's answer said: There is no guarantee to reduce the degree, but there is no problem in improving the naked eye vision.
On April 18, the reporter came to the offline store of E-Vision in Yadong Square, Qixia District, Nanjing. The clerk also said that wearing irreducible rehabilitation glasses can steadily improve the vision of myopic children.
The clerk of the East Asia Square store of the E-Vision Prevention and Control Center said that for example, the child's naked eye vision can now reach 4.3, after a period of training, he can see more clearly, maybe 4.4 can also see, 4.5 can also see, is to improve the child's naked eye vision.
The store's billboard also clearly states that for mild myopia, it can quickly improve vision; for medium and high myopia, the degree growth can be controlled. During the consultation, the clerk also revealed that some myopic children can also reduce the degree of myopia after wearing composite glasses.
Since it is said to improve vision, the price of this composite glasses is naturally not cheap. Generally it is 6880 yuan a year, and to match the lenses, it will cost 7880 yuan.
The reporter noted that many plaques were hung in the Lishui store of ESCO Kang, showing the various honors and qualifications obtained by ESCO Kang Headquarters. Among them, the largest is the China Light and Medium Light Product Quality Assurance Center, which selected E-Vision's eyewear products as "National Quality Supervision Qualified Red List Products"; in addition, the China Quality Leading Enterprise Survey Organizing Committee selected E-Vision Kang as "Top Ten Vision Health Product Quality Brands".
However, the reporter inquired on the official website of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and found that the so-called "China Quality Leading Enterprise Investigation Organizing Committee" could not be found at all, and the "China Light Product Quality Assurance Center" had been included in the list of "suspected illegal social organizations".

So, what is the origin of this composite glasses? The reporter found through the official website of the State Food and Drug Administration that the composite glasses sold by Yishikang belong to the second class of medical devices, the official name is called "composite prevention and treatment of myopia triple glasses", and the approved expected use is "to prevent the development of low-grade myopia and the treatment of pseudo-myopia". That is to say, the real effect of easy sight rehabilitation glasses is to prevent low-grade myopia from deepening too quickly, and it cannot reduce the degree or improve vision.
It can be seen that the publicity of ESCO's Nanjing Lishui store and Yadong Square store has been suspected of violating the law. The reporter also noted that in June last year, the Yishikang store in Shenzhou City, Hebei Province, claimed that its glasses could "correct and improve vision and control and delay the growth of true myopia", which was found to be deceiving and misleading consumers, and was finally fined 50,000 yuan by the local market supervision department for violating the Advertising Law.

Since the IEVI rehabilitation glasses can not improve vision and reduce the degree, why do myopic children improve their naked eye vision after doing corrective training at EVIS Kang Lishui Shop? In this regard, ophthalmologists said that the myopic child had a hot compress on the eye before training. After hot compresses and follow-up training, the eye fatigue of this myopic child was alleviated, and the temporary improvement of naked eye vision was normal.
Zhang Xiaojun, chief physician of the Department of Ophthalmology of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Southern Medical University, said that when a person rests well, or the environment is brighter, even you are doing some simple treatments, including acupuncture and other various therapies outside now, saying that it is normal to improve vision in the short term, and even two to three lines are normal, which is not a very unusual thing.
Experts say that even if you close your eyes for a period of rest, naked-eye vision will improve. However, experts emphasize that the effect of this improvement is short-lived and cannot be maintained for a long time.
Ophthalmology experts emphasize that at present, after scientific verification, there are only three ways to effectively prevent and control myopia, namely wearing glasses, fitting orthokeratology glasses and using low-concentration atropine eye drops, and these three methods can not reduce the degree or improve vision, but can only delay the further deepening of myopia.
No matter how diverse the myopia correction products are, the state is clear about myopia correction, that is: myopia is incurable and the degree is irreversible. To this end, the Ministry of Education, the Health Commission and other departments jointly issued a document to make it clear that myopia correction institutions must not use expressions such as "reducing the degree" to mislead myopic children and their parents. As a result, some myopia correction institutions such as Yishikang played word games and replaced "reducing the degree" with "improving vision". In fact, the two statements are completely change the soup and do not change the medicine, which is essentially suspected of illegal propaganda.
From November last year to January this year, the State Administration of Markets launched a three-month special rectification to focus on cracking down on illegal publicity in the myopia correction industry. However, judging from the situation we visited, after the limelight, there are still some institutions trying to step on the red line again.
Myopia correction involves the eye health of adolescents and children, only by increasing the intensity of rectification and leaving no dead ends, can we protect the eye health of adolescents and children and purify the myopia correction market.
