What are the misunderstandings that must be avoided in vision correction?

What are the misunderstandings that must be avoided in vision correction? There are many forms of vision correction, including optometry, medical treatment and even surgical treatment. So, in helping children correct their eyesight, what mistakes should we avoid?

Mistake 1: pseudomyopia should be corrected

The saying that pseudomyopia should be corrected was once very popular. In fact, the essence of pseudomyopia is not myopia, there is no need for treatment, improper treatment will affect vision. We can take a look at two typical clinical cases: 8-year-old Han Han was once diagnosed as' 150 vacation myopia ', and her vision was only 0.3. After one year's so-called treatment, she removed her glasses and her vision returned to 1.0. However, after thorough optometry in the standard eye hospital, Han Han found that she did not suffer from myopia, but had 100 degree hyperopia. Huihui, 14 years old, was diagnosed with 200 degree myopia. Among them, 100 degrees were 'pseudomyopia' and 100 degrees were true myopia. After the so-called treatment, pseudomyopia was reduced by 50 degrees, and only 150 degree glasses were needed. However, after careful examination by experts, it was found that the so-called treatment was only 200 degree spherical lens combined with 50 degree astigmatism, and the child's myopia did not get better.

Mistake 2: treatment of strabismus and amblyopia

Many parents of children with strabismus and amblyopia will think that the older the child is, the better the strabismus and amblyopia may be. There is no need to operate on the discovery of strabismus and amblyopia. The child is young, anyway, there is no demand for beauty. In fact, the earlier the amblyopia treatment period, the better. Children over 12 years old will be much less sensitive to amblyopia treatment. The key to strabismus surgery is to establish binocular function, such as stereo vision, rather than simply for beauty. Therefore, once found that children have strabismus, amblyopia should grasp the best treatment period, do not delay diagnosis and treatment.

Mistake 3: laser is the first choice for myopic surgery

In the summer vacation, many college students will choose laser myopia surgery, so is it suitable for primary and secondary school students? From the clinical point of view, myopia surgery can be considered for those over 18 years old, while laser surgery is not recommended for those under 18 years old because the eye structure is not fully mature. We admit that the predictability, safety and stability of laser myopia surgery are good, but we must carry out strict preoperative examination before laser myopia surgery. At present, other alternative vision correction technologies include: LASEK technology without a knife, which can avoid the complications related to corneal interlaminar, and is ideal and safer for the treatment of mild to moderate myopia and presbyopia; for ultra-high myopia, such as myopia over 1200 degrees, intraocular lens implantation can be carried out on the premise of definite indications.

Mistake 4: computer optometry direct glasses

Although the speed of computer optometry is fast, and the accuracy of computer optometry after mydriasis has been improved to a certain extent, computer optometry is still not suitable to be directly used as the degree of glasses. Children even if only optometry glasses, but also to do the corresponding eye test, especially the first optometry glasses, must go to the regular medical institutions of ophthalmology for a comprehensive eye examination, eliminate other abnormalities caused by blurred vision. Only when the comprehensive optometer is used for medical optometry, can the myopia get clear, comfortable and lasting vision as much as possible.

After reading the above contents, we should have some understanding of the misunderstandings that must be paid attention to and avoided in vision correction. Today, we will introduce here. More topics about eye health will be introduced in the following articles. Welcome to check. Wish you a happy life!
