What is the best way to wear myopia glasses?
Today is the 27th National "Eye Love Day". China News Network "The Temperature of Medicine" invited Professor Jin Zibing, Director, Chief Physician of Beijing Institute of Ophthalmology, and Head of the National Blindness Prevention Office, and He Mingguang, Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Melbourne. Authoritative interpretation of relevant issues.
Some netizens think that glasses with a lower degree will be more comfortable to wear when wearing glasses. Is this appropriate?
In this regard, the two professors expressed similar views. Professor Jin Zibing said that only the right degree of frame glasses and contact lenses can be used; Professor He Mingguang said that the fundamental purpose of wearing glasses is to improve distance blurring. There will be no problems with myopia progression.
Professor He Mingguang also pointed out that 100-degree myopia wearing 120-degree glasses will be overcorrected, so that overcorrection will result in out-of-focus vision, which will lead to the progression of myopia.
For ophthalmologists, only moderate glasses have the best visual effect, and they cannot be overcorrected.
For the concern of many netizens, "Can myopia surgery be done? Will there be any sequelae after the surgery?" Professor Jin Zibing said that refractive surgery is a very common surgery in ophthalmology, and it is also a very mature surgery.
However, he also pointed out that refractive surgery must first meet the indications for the surgery, such as those over 18 years old, the refractive power of myopia should remain stable, at least there is no obvious inflammation on the ocular surface, and the surgery should be carried out according to the individual differences of each myopic patient. Personality choice of surgery, "myopia refractive surgery is a form of invisible glasses." Professor Jin Zibing explained.
Professor He Mingguang also expressed the same point of view. He said that laser surgery for myopia has been done for 30 years, and it is a very safe surgery.
However, many parents have a misunderstanding that they think that their children do not need to control myopia if they have a laser now and later. Professor He Mingguang pointed out that the essence of myopia is the lengthening of the eye axis and the length of the eyes. If the myopia is not controlled, the eyes will still become longer , In the future, laser surgery can only solve the problem of not becoming high myopia.
So, in addition to myopia surgery, what other methods can be used to correct the problem of myopia, and what are the dangers of having high myopia?
In this regard, Professor He Mingguang said that one of myopia should be corrected, and the other should be controlled.
Wearing contact lenses and laser surgery are all corrections.
The second is to control the progression of myopia, laser surgery is just a solution, you can also wear contact lenses, preferably glasses.
To control the progression of myopia, drugs, contact lenses, specially designed lenses, and some light therapy can be used.
