Is "pseudomyopia" true or false? Parents care most about the topic!

When I was just short-sighted

The most listened to sentence, must be "pseudo-myopia, will be good, do not rush to wear glasses"

"You are only pseudo-myopia now, wait for true myopia to go to the refraction"

The concept of "pseudo-myopia" is deeply rooted in people's minds

Many parents do not understand the "pseudo-myopia" and it is easy to walk into the trap of misunderstanding and poor vision, thereby delaying the child's vision health. When it develops to a high degree of myopia, there is no regret.

What exactly is "pseudomyopia"? In the concept of many parents, children will have "pseudo-myopia" after myopia, which needs to be treated through some other channels to restore "pseudo-myopia", and no recovery will develop into "true myopia".

The so-called "pseudomyopia", more rigorously expressed as "regulatory myopia", is only a state of eye fatigue, which is caused by the continuous contraction and spasm of the ciliary muscle, which may occur at any time, at any age.

The ciliary muscle is the smooth muscle located inside the eye, and its role is to adjust the curvature of the lens through its own contraction and relaxation, so that we can see objects at different distances.

When we read and write for a long time or look at the electronic screen, the ciliary muscle may cause ciliary muscle spasm due to excessive contraction; when we look at the distance, because the ciliary muscle cannot be completely relaxed, the lens regulation decreases, which will lead to far from clear vision.

This is regulatory myopia, which can be relieved with moderate rest. Be wary of the "pseudo-myopia" trap.

Parents' cognitive misunderstanding of "pseudo-myopia" has led to many children who have not been correctly corrected after really suffering from myopia, and many parents believe that their children are "pseudo-myopia" and delay the best correction period.

In October this year, the state spoke again about the problem of myopia, emphasizing that under the current medical technology conditions, myopia cannot be cured. Local market supervision departments should strictly investigate and punish the use of misleading statements such as "rehabilitation", "recovery", "reduction of degree", "myopia cure", "myopia buster" and "degree repair" to market and publicize myopia prevention and control products for children and adolescents in accordance with the law.

Parents, if there is a situation that cannot be seen clearly, take the child to check it!

How to tell if your child may be nearsighted?

When your child has the following situations, it is recommended to take your child to an examination to determine whether myopia occurs.

Early prevention and early intervention of myopia is very important!

Squinting at things, the eyelids can obscure part of the pupil when squinting, reducing light scattering, thereby temporarily increasing and improving visual acuity. Long-term squinting can cause eye muscle fatigue and myopia to deepen faster.

Looking at things too close, such as watching TV and not consciously moving forward, often prompts children to have poor vision.

Rub your eyes frequently, myopic children due to blurry viewing, eye fatigue, frequent rubbing of the eyes may indicate a decrease in vision.

Frequent blinking, myopic children will often rub their eyes, causing chronic conjunctivitis and corneal damage, the eyes are uncomfortable, and the child will blink frequently.

Often tilt the head to see, it may be that the child changes the visual posture because he can't see clearly, and tilting his head to see the object can reduce the effect of scattered light on vision.

Frowning frequently, some children frown by frowning, trying to improve their vision. But frequent frowning can cause the extraocular muscles to compress the eyeball, which may accelerate the development of myopia.

Pulling the corners of the eye frequently reduces the scattering of light, which temporarily increases or improves vision.

Myopia Prevention Tips

1. Develop good eye habits

When reading or doing homework, keep the pen one inch away from the tip, one foot away from the eye (book), and one punch away from the chest (desk).

Ensure that there is enough light when reading and writing, read and write at night or when there is insufficient light during the day, use a table lamp to assist lighting, and the table lamp should be placed in front of the opposite side of the child's writing hand. When the child reads and writes at night, the room ceiling light and the table lamp should be turned on at the same time.

Follow the "20-20-20 Eye Protection Rule" and look close for 20 minutes, rest for 20 seconds, and look 20 feet (about 6 meters) away.

2. Outdoor sports

A large number of studies believe that outdoor sports and the occurrence and development of myopia are closely related. Before the age of 7, children can guarantee more than 3 hours of outdoor activity time every day, and after the age of 7, they can guarantee more than 2 hours a day, which is not only beneficial to vision, but also allows children to be strong.

3. Regular inspection

After the child is three years old, parents should take their children to a professional optometry institution every six months, do a comprehensive optometry examination, predict the development of vision, timely detect abnormalities, and reasonably intervene in the occurrence and development of myopia!
