Treatment of myopia in children
Children's myopia refers to that children's eyes cannot see distant objects clearly, and the degree of myopia increases with age. Myopia not only affects children's vision, but also may lead to eye health problems. For the treatment of children's myopia, the Maternal and Child Eye Hospital has adopted a variety of effective treatments.
Correction with glasses
For the treatment of children's myopia, one of the most common methods is to use glasses for correction. Glasses can change the refraction of light through the special design of convex lens, so that children's vision can be corrected. Choosing appropriate glasses can help children see distant objects clearly and alleviate the symptoms of myopia. However, the use of glasses is only a corrective method, which cannot cure myopia and needs to be worn for a long time.
In addition to degree correction, the Maternity and Children's Eye Hospital will also choose different glasses according to the children's myopia and eye health. For example, for some children with high myopia, doctors may recommend using lenses with high refractive index to make the lenses thinner and lighter and reduce the burden on the eyes. In addition, the Children's Eye Hospital will regularly check and adjust the degree of glasses according to the children's individual differences and changes in growth and development to ensure that the children's vision is best corrected.
Application of corneal plastic lens
In addition to glasses, the Maternity and Children's Eye Hospital also uses corneal shaping glasses to treat children's myopia. Corneal shaping lens is a special kind of contact lens. It can temporarily change the shape of the eyeball by shaping the cornea, so as to correct vision. Corneal shaping glasses are usually worn at night to improve myopia by shaping the cornea. In the daytime, no vision correction tools can be used.
The treatment of corneal shaping lens is applicable to children who are worried about affecting their life and learning because of high myopia or inability to wear glasses. However, it should be noted that the corneal shaping lens needs to be checked and worn regularly, and the use and maintenance requirements of doctors should be strictly followed to avoid adverse consequences such as eye infection.
Importance of vision training
In addition to correcting vision, the Maternal and Child Eye Hospital also emphasizes the importance of vision training. Vision training is to enhance the flexibility and adjustment ability of eye muscles through a series of eye exercises, so as to improve children's vision and reduce the symptoms of myopia. There are various methods of vision training, including vision exercises, eye movement training, fixation point change training, etc.
Vision training requires patience and perseverance, and is generally recommended to be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors. The doctor will develop a personalized vision training plan according to the child's age, condition and treatment needs, and regularly check and evaluate the training effect. By adhering to vision training, children's eye muscles can be effectively exercised and adjusted, which helps to slow down the development of myopia.
Summary
To sum up, the Maternity and Children's Eye Hospital has effectively treated children's myopia with a variety of treatment methods, such as glasses correction, corneal plastic lens and vision training. Glasses can correct vision, but they need to be worn for a long time; Corneal shaping lens can temporarily improve vision by shaping the cornea, which is suitable for some specific patients; Vision training can enhance the flexibility and adjustment ability of eye muscles. Each treatment mode has its own indications and precautions, and it is recommended to conduct corresponding treatment under the guidance of professional doctors.
For the treatment of children's myopia, parents and children should closely cooperate with the doctor's treatment plan, reasonably arrange eye use time, scientifically use electronic products, and pay attention to nutrition balance and eye health. Only through comprehensive treatment, can we achieve the effect of effectively treating children's myopia and protect children's vision health.
