Chengdu Baobao Eye Hospital: What are the good methods for treating children's myopia?
Myopia is one of the common visual problems in modern society, especially in children. Therefore, the treatment of children's myopia has become the focus of attention of parents. Chengdu Baobao Eye Hospital, as a professional hospital focusing on children's eye problems, provides a variety of effective treatments. This article will introduce the details of these treatments from four aspects: eye function training, drug treatment, glasses or contact lenses, and surgical treatment.
Eye function training
Eye function training is a very common and effective method to treat children's myopia. Through a series of eye movements and training, the coordination and flexibility of eye muscles can be improved, so as to effectively control the process of myopia. The therapist will design corresponding training plans according to the specific conditions of each child, including eye movement, gaze, eye and body coordination, as well as eye adjustment for distance and distance. In addition, sticking to eye exercises and eye massage every day is also a good method of eye function training.
The advantage of eye function training is that it can be carried out at home without relying on any external equipment. However, the active participation and patient persistence of parents and children are required, and the treatment effect is difficult to achieve immediate results. It takes a period of training and persistence to achieve significant results.
medication
Drug therapy is also a commonly used method to treat children's myopia. A commonly used drug is atropine eyedrops of low concentration, which can treat myopia by dilating the pupils and adjusting the focusing ability of the eyes. The drug can slow down the growth rate of the eye axis, thus effectively controlling the progress of myopia. However, it should be noted that the drug treatment needs to be carried out under the guidance of the doctor, because the drug concentration and use method need to be adjusted according to the specific situation of the child.
The advantage of drug therapy is that it is convenient, can be carried out at home, and can effectively control the progress of myopia. However, it should be noted that drug treatment can only control myopia and cannot completely cure myopia.
Glasses or contact lenses
Glasses or contact lenses are one of the common methods to treat children's myopia. By wearing myopia glasses or contact lenses, the degree of myopia can be corrected, so that children can clearly see distant objects. Glasses are suitable for younger children, while contact lenses are suitable for older children.
The advantages of glasses or contact lenses are obvious correction effect and convenient use. However, it should be noted that this method is only a temporary solution to myopia, and has no curative effect. In addition, the use of glasses or contact lenses needs the guidance of an ophthalmologist, and needs regular inspection and replacement.
surgical treatment
Surgical treatment is a radical method to treat children's myopia, which is suitable for older children and adolescents. Common surgical methods include laser corneal refractive surgery and intraocular lens implantation. Surgical treatment can effectively correct myopia, so that the eyes can clearly see distant objects.
The advantage of surgical treatment is that the correction effect is stable, and one operation can last for many years. However, it should be noted that surgical treatment needs to be carried out under the guidance of doctors, and there are certain risks. Before the operation, the doctor will conduct a detailed eye examination and evaluation of the child to determine whether it is suitable for surgical treatment.
