China News Service, May 10, Wei Wenbin, deputy director of Beijing Tongren Hospital and director of ophthalmology, said on the 10th that myopia cannot be self-healing. Some high myopia above 600 degrees is pathological myopia, which is an important cause of blindness. The most critical purpose of myopia treatment is to prevent the development of high myopia and pathological myopia, so once diagnosed myopia should intervene. It is recommended that glasses should be worn when the degree is greater than 100 degrees.
On the 10th, the joint prevention and control mechanism of the State Council held a press conference on scientific prevention of myopia with eyes. Wei Wenbin made the above statement when answering reporters' questions. He pointed out that the conclusion of wearing glasses to deepen the degree of myopia has no scientific basis at present, and may delay the treatment of myopia.
Wei Wenbin introduced that myopia cannot be self-healing. Part of high myopia above 600 degrees is pathological myopia, which is an important cause of blindness. The most important purpose of adolescent myopia treatment is to prevent the development of high myopia and pathological myopia. The diagnosis of myopia should intervene. It is recommended that glasses should be worn when the degree is greater than 100 degrees. First, go to the hospital for identification. After ciliary muscle paralysis, mydriasis and optometry can distinguish between true myopia or visual fatigue and pseudomyopia.
True myopia cannot be recovered by instrument training, etc. There is currently no effective cure for myopia. The reason for the improvement of vision by instrument training may be the patient's own false myopia, or it may be through the training of ciliary muscles to improve the vision of the naked eye. But this state of myopia has not been released, so there is no way to prevent the rapid development of myopia.
Wei Wenbin said that children with low myopia circulated on the Internet have deepened the degree after wearing glasses. This is the natural development of myopia, not caused by wearing glasses. Wearing the right glasses to delay this process is the simplest, safest and most effective way.
"It is now possible to go to the hospital for optometry and optics. At the time of treatment, you should pay attention to strict implementation of epidemic prevention measures, make appointments for optometry time in advance, reduce the concentration of time-of-use visits, wear masks for protection, and cooperate with the doctor's instructions." Wei Wenbin said.
