Original title: 15-year-old boy has 2400 degree myopia and can hardly see at night! Maybe you have his bad habits, too
Recently, a 15-year-old child in Dongguan, Guangdong went to the hospital to get glasses. As soon as the doctor checked, he found that the child's eyes were ultra-high myopia, which had reached 2400 degrees!
Even the super large font can be seen only if it is within 15cm. At the age of 15, Xiao Jun's eyesight has decreased so much that he can't see clearly at night.
The doctor found that Xiaojun had 2400 degrees of myopia in his right eye, 250 degrees of astigmatism and 2300 degrees of myopia in his left eye.
Moreover, Xiaojun's eyeball structure is seriously deformed. The front and rear length of normal people's eyeball is 24mm. For every 1mm increase, myopia increases by 250-300 degrees, while Xiaojun's eyeball length has reached 31.5mm.
Xiaojun's fundus photos show that his eyeballs are like balloons. Doctors say there is a risk of retinal perforation or detachment at any time.
So, how did the myopia of more than 2000 degrees form? Mother said Xiaojun has congenital myopia, but because of his shyness, he has been reluctant to wear glasses, so the degree of myopia increases every year. In addition, he has been addicted to mobile games recently, and the degree of myopia has soared.
During the busy farming season, his parents had no time to urge him to wear glasses and his work was busy, resulting in such consequences.
At present, doctors have added a chip to Xiaojun's operation on the back of his eye to prevent his myopia from deepening. He can only perform myopia correction surgery when he is an adult.
Can myopia be cured?
No! According to the current medical means, myopia can only be 'corrected', not 'cured'!
It is often said that the treatment methods of myopia include local drugs, optical glasses, corneal shaping glasses, surgical treatment, etc. the basic principle is to change the light refraction path or delay the growth of ocular axis and control the progress of myopia, but it can not reverse the structural changes of myopia. Although myopia cannot be cured, it can be effectively controlled. Once a child's myopia is found, he needs to go to the hospital for clear diagnosis and timely intervention. Therefore, after myopia, you should wear glasses or glasses, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable!
