Treatment of myopia
Myopia is a common vision problem, and patients' hyperopia distance becomes blurred. There are many ways to treat myopia, including the use of glasses, contact lenses, medication and surgery. These treatments are described in detail below.
Ophthalmic correction
Glasses are one of the most common methods to treat myopia. Glasses can improve the vision of myopic patients by adjusting the refraction of light. Through optometry, ophthalmologists can accurately determine the degree and lens type required by patients. Then, patients can purchase glasses suitable for themselves at the optician's according to the prescription.
The advantage of glasses correction is that it is simple, can provide immediate vision correction effect, and can adjust the degree of lenses at any time. However, the disadvantage is that glasses need to be worn frequently, which sometimes leads to inconvenience and appearance problems.
Contact lens correction
Contact lenses are a very popular method of myopia correction. Unlike glasses, contact lenses are placed directly in front of the cornea to provide a more natural visual experience. There are two types of contact lenses: hard and soft. Patients can choose suitable contact lenses according to their own preferences and the advice of ophthalmologists.
The advantage of contact lenses is that they will not change the appearance and provide a more natural visual effect. However, contact lenses need to be cleaned and replaced regularly and are not suitable for everyone. Some people may have eye discomfort, such as dryness, pain and red eyes.
medication
Drug therapy is to control the development of myopia through the use of drugs. The most commonly used drug is atropine eye drops with low concentration. This eyedrop can relax the eye muscles and slow down the growth of myopia. Patients can use it once or twice a day, and pay attention to follow the doctor's advice and dosage.
The advantage of drug therapy is that it is convenient and easy to operate, without wearing glasses or contact lenses. However, drug treatment needs long-term adherence, and the effect varies from person to person. Some people may have side effects of drugs, such as dilated pupils, blurred vision and dry eyes.
surgical treatment
Surgical treatment is a lasting and effective method for myopia correction. At present, the common surgical methods include corneal refractive surgery (LASIK) and laser corneal correction (PRK). These operations can improve vision by changing the shape of corneal tissue.
The advantage of surgical treatment is that one operation can maintain the correction effect for many years, and patients no longer need to wear glasses or contact lenses. However, surgical treatment requires accurate preoperative examination and professional ophthalmologist operation, and there are certain risks of surgical risks and complications.
summary
The treatment methods for myopia include glasses correction, contact lens correction, medication and surgery. Glasses are the most common and simple way to provide immediate vision correction. Contact lenses provide a more natural visual effect, but require daily care and precautions. Drug treatment can control the development of myopia, but it needs long-term adherence. Surgical treatment is a durable and effective corrective method, but it needs professional doctors' operation and risk assessment. Patients can choose their own treatment methods according to their own needs and doctors' suggestions.
