Xi'an Ophthalmology Department Xin Hao: What about myopia?
Myopia is a common problem in modern society, which has caused great trouble to many people's life and work. In order to solve this problem, Xi'an Xinhao Eye Hospital adopts advanced technologies and methods to provide professional myopia correction services for patients. This article will elaborate on the problem of myopia from the causes of myopia, preventive measures, treatment methods and surgical options.
1、 Causes of myopia
Myopia refers to that the focal length of the eye is too long, which makes the light focus in front of the retina rather than on it, leading to the decline of the clarity of distant objects. The occurrence of myopia is related to heredity, environmental factors and personal eye habits. Genetic factors are one of the main reasons for myopia. If parents have myopia, the probability of children's myopia is also high. Overuse of eyes, such as staring at computers, reading books, and looking at mobile phones for a long time, will lead to eye fatigue and the growth of eye axis length, which will lead to myopia. In addition, poor environmental factors, such as insufficient light, too close distance, and incorrect reading posture, will also promote the occurrence of myopia.
However, myopia is not absolutely impossible to prevent and treat. Here are some methods to prevent and treat myopia.
2、 Precautions for myopia
The prevention of myopia is the key to effectively control the development of myopia. Here are some common precautions for myopia:
1. Keep good eye habits: avoid staring at computers, mobile phones and other electronic products in close proximity for a long time, often carry out moderate eye relaxation exercises, and adhere to eye exercises.
2. Take an active part in outdoor activities: outdoor activities are conducive to expanding vision, alleviating eye fatigue, increasing the eye's ability to adjust to distant objects, and effectively preventing myopia.
3. Pay attention to the correct eye distance: keep a certain distance when reading, keep a proper posture when writing or using the computer, and do not aim your eyes at close distance or work far away for too long.
By taking these preventive measures, the development of myopia can be effectively controlled, but for patients who have suffered from myopia, treatment is essential.
3、 Treatment of myopia
There are many ways to treat myopia. Here are some common ways to treat myopia.
1. Correction optical instruments: such as myopia glasses, contact lenses, etc., can make distant objects clear by adjusting the focus position of light. But this method is only temporary and cannot cure myopia itself.
2. Drug treatment: The development of myopia can be slowed down by using some drugs, such as atropine, low concentration hormone eye drops, etc. However, drug treatment needs to be carried out under the guidance of doctors and cannot be used at will.
3. Optometry correction treatment: through a series of visual training and adjustment of the eyeball, to enhance the function of eye muscles, thereby slowing down the development of myopia. The optometry treatment needs to be carried out under the guidance of professional doctors, and the course of treatment is long.
In addition to the above methods, eye surgery is also an effective way to treat myopia.
4、 Eye surgery options
Eye surgery is an ideal choice for patients with severe myopia or who are not suitable for other treatment methods. The laser myopia surgery provided by Xi'an Xinhao Hospital of Ophthalmology is a commonly used treatment method. The laser technology is used to change the curvature of the cornea, so that the light can be accurately focused on the retina to correct myopia.
Laser myopic surgery is a safe and effective treatment method. The recovery period is short, and patients can resume normal life after surgery. However, not everyone is suitable for eye surgery, so a comprehensive examination and consultation must be carried out before choosing surgery.
Summary
Myopia is a common problem, but it can be controlled and improved through prevention and treatment. To prevent myopia, we need to develop a good habit of using eyes, actively participate in outdoor activities, and pay attention to the distance between eyes. The treatment methods of myopia include corrective optical instruments, medication and optometry. Eye surgery is an effective treatment, especially for patients with severe myopia. The laser myopia surgery provided by Xi'an Xinhao Eye Hospital is a safe and effective choice. However, before choosing a treatment method, it is necessary to go through a comprehensive examination and consultation with a doctor to determine the most appropriate treatment scheme.
