Myopia is a very common modern disease and many primary school children already wear myopic glasses. Excessive eye use and lack of outdoor activities have led to an increasing number of people with myopia.
With medical advances, there are various methods to correct myopia, such as wearing myopia glasses and myopia surgery to correct myopia, so how should you choose a myopia correction method.
So far, there is no one drug or one surgery that can cure myopia. Surgery for myopia is simply to remove glasses for everyone, and the state of myopia is never changed.
Especially high myopia and super high myopia will cause changes in our eyes, the retina will become more and more unhealthy, and eventually there is the possibility of blindness.
We used to be unaware of the importance of our eyesight, thinking that our children were still young and if we couldn't do it, we would have an operation and our eyesight would be restored as before.
Sometimes when we took our children to the ophthalmology department, the hospital staff would always boast about how advanced their instruments were and how effective the treatment was.
"Myopia is nothing, just go to our hospital and have an operation" has become a common refrain. The false propaganda of the hospital has harmed many people.
Myopia surgery is good at the time, but can you guarantee that you will not use your mobile phone or tablet in the future? Once you use these electronic products regularly, it will also cause vision loss and rebound.
How to choose the right myopia correction method?
1. Myopia in children
If children are genuinely myopic, they should choose frame glasses to correct their vision, which are economical and convenient. If the difference in myopia between the two eyes is greater than 200 degrees, then surgery is required to correct the deeper eye to avoid the development of amblyopia.
2、Young people with myopia
If conditions allow, young people with myopia can opt for refractive surgery, the principle of which is to thin the cornea to make the under-eye imaging clear, including excimer laser and femtosecond laser technology. For those with more than 1000 degrees of myopia and poor corneal conditions, intraocular crystals may be an option.
3. Middle-aged and elderly
Middle-aged and elderly people with myopia are often accompanied by presbyopia or cataracts, in which case refractive surgery can be done to solve both myopia and presbyopia problems.
Warm Tips
Regardless of which myopia correction method you choose, it only improves your vision and does not change the elongation and deformation of the eye, which means it cannot cure myopia. In addition, people with high myopia should not do strenuous sports, including bungee jumping, inversions and diving, as this can lead to retinal detachment, which can cause unexpected harm.
