Treatment of myopia

Myopia is a common vision problem, which brings inconvenience and trouble to many people in daily life. There are many ways to treat myopia, and we will elaborate from four aspects below.

1. Optical method for correcting vision

The first common method of treating myopia is the optical method of correcting vision, that is, improving vision by wearing glasses or contact lenses. Glasses and contact lenses can be customized according to the degree of myopia of patients, which can effectively correct vision and provide clear hyperopia vision. This is a very simple and effective treatment method, which is applicable to almost all myopia patients.

However, the use of glasses or contact lenses is not a cure for myopia, but a temporary improvement of vision. At the same time, if the degree of myopia changes rapidly, you need to go to the eye hospital regularly to check and replace glasses.

2. Optometry training

Optometry training is a method to improve myopia by exercising eye muscles. It includes a series of eye movements and eye focusing exercises, which can help patients enhance the flexibility of eye muscles and improve vision.

Optometry training needs to be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors, who will develop training programs according to the degree of myopia and individual differences of patients. Although optometry training can improve the symptoms of myopia, the effect varies from person to person, requiring long-term persistence and relatively slow effect.

3. Refractive surgery

Refractive surgery is a method of correcting myopia by changing the shape of the cornea. Common refractive surgery includes LASIK and PRK. These operations are minimally invasive and can change the refractive state of the eye by removing certain tissues on the surface or inside of the cornea with lasers.

However, refractive surgery is not applicable to all myopic patients, and doctors will decide whether it is appropriate to perform surgery according to the patient's eye health and surgical risks. Refractive surgery has an immediate effect, but there are also some surgical risks and the need for a recovery period after surgery.

4. Adjust the habit of using eyes

The occurrence of myopia is related to the habit of using eyes. Long time close reading, watching TV and using electronic products will aggravate the degree of myopia. Therefore, adjusting the habit of using eyes is also an important method to treat myopia.

It is recommended to relax your eyes, perform eye exercises and overlook at regular intervals, and avoid maintaining a sight distance for a long time. At the same time, keeping good eye posture and correct reading distance can also help prevent myopia.

Summary

Shanghai New Vision Eye Hospital provides a variety of methods to treat myopia, including optical methods for correcting vision, optometry training, refractive surgery and adjusting eye habits. Different methods are applicable to different patients, and patients should choose their own treatment methods under the guidance of doctors.

Myopia is not an incurable problem. Through scientific methods and good eye habits, we can significantly improve vision problems and improve the quality of life.
