Recently, "parents are highly myopic, 1-year-old infants are myopic 600 degrees"
The topic rushed to the hot search, causing widespread attention from netizens!
Ms. Mu and her husband in Zhengzhou, Henan Province are highly myopic, so they are particularly concerned about their children's vision problems. So when the child was one year old, he took the child to the hospital for a vision test, but he did not expect that the young child not only had myopia in both eyes, but also had a degree of up to 600 degrees and 650 degrees!
After a series of tests, the doctor told the couple that because they are both highly myopic, their children carry the gene for high myopia and carry the gene for pathological myopia. Under the doctor's advice, the couple actively carried out a series of prevention and control measures such as wearing glasses for the child.
However, what Ms. Mu and her wife did not expect was that after recently taking their 1-year-old and 10-month-old son for examination, they found that even under the intervention, the child's left eye axis increased by 1.16 millimeters, and the degree increased by at least 100 degrees. In the face of her child's growing myopia, Ms. Mu is worried. The doctor explained to the child: "There is no good way to solve this problem in medicine, and if we do not take external intervention to control it now, the worst result is blindness." In the face of the doctor's statement, the husband and wife collapsed, and they deeply blamed themselves!
According to relevant data, myopia has a certain genetic chance, but the inheritance method is more complicated, and its genetic form cannot be determined at the current medical level. If both parents are myopic people, especially those with high myopia above 600 degrees, the child has a certain chance of suffering from myopia! Therefore, many ophthalmologists suggest that if either parent is highly myopic, an eye examination can be conducted within the age of 8 to comprehensively assess the child's eye development state, so as to intervene earlier and treat early!
The formation of myopia not only has congenital genetic factors, acquired incorrect eye habits will also lead to the formation of children's myopia, so in the acquired learning and living environment, we must pay attention to protecting the eyes, as far as possible to avoid or delay the development of myopia.
Vision problems include not only myopia, but also farsightedness, astigmatism, amblyopia, etc. Whether it is a congenital factor or an acquired cause, as a parent, we must pay attention to it.
My child noticed astigmatism in her right eye during a routine physical examination when she was two years old. Under the doctor's advice, the child was three years old for her to carry out the intervention treatment of mydriatic refraction, and later took her regularly to review and replace the glasses in time, now the child is 9 years old, although the vision is not as good as normal children, but her astigmatism has been well controlled.
Even if the child's vision has problems, parents should not panic, timely intervention and early correction is the right way to deal with it!
