Some children nowadays wear nearsighted glasses as soon as they start kindergarten, which is related to bad habits in their daily lives. After returning home every day, they watch TV and play with their phones, and their eyes become tired from these electronic devices for a long time. Over time, they are prone to nearsightedness. If not taken seriously, their nearsightedness will become deeper and deeper. Many people say that their nearsightedness is very deep after going to the hospital for examination. So, what should be done for children with high myopia? How to prevent myopia in young children?
How to deal with high myopia in young children
Myopia is irreversible. For children with high myopia, timely treatment can reduce the degree of myopia and improve vision because they are in the stage of visual development. However, it cannot be completely cured.
For children with high myopia, it is recommended to consider corneal reshaping lenses. Corneal reshaping lenses are specially designed contact lenses that can control the increase of myopia without the need to wear glasses during the day. For minors, it is an effective method to control the growth of myopia and a non-surgical correction method for myopia.
How to prevent myopia in young children
1. To prevent acquired myopia, it is also necessary to pay attention to improving the visual environment, standardizing classroom lighting, ensuring that the ratio of window light transmission area to classroom is not less than 1:6, ensuring that the blackboard is non reflective, cultivating good writing posture, taking a 40-50 minute break for homework, doing eye exercises, and not reading or writing in direct sunlight or low light. We should also reduce students' homework and increase outdoor activities, which can enhance physical fitness and prevent myopia.
2. If signs of myopia are found in children, they should promptly go to a physical examination institution for examination, undergo dilated eye refraction, and wear appropriate glasses. In addition, it is important to note that glasses are medical supplies rather than general goods, and the quality is crucial. Therefore, it is necessary to go to a large medical examination center or a reputable eyewear store to get glasses.
Children are still in the stage of physical development, and although high myopia can be treated, the possibility of recovery is almost non-existent. High myopia is difficult to treat, so it is not advisable for young children to undergo laser surgery. What if it affects their future eye development? Therefore, it is still necessary to prevent myopia in children, play games with them more, refuse electronic products, and start with adults.
