2. Methods of treating myopia in children

1. Lens correction

Wearing glasses is the most basic measure to correct children's myopia. For mild myopia that does not affect life and study, it is not emphasized to wear glasses immediately. For moderate to severe myopia, since the distance vision is significantly reduced, if it is not corrected, it will inevitably affect life and study, and glasses must be worn. Before getting glasses, you must first use retinoscopy to find out the true degree of myopia. Eye examination for teenagers should be performed under ciliary muscle paralysis to control the accommodation effect and exclude pseudomyopia. The principle of fitting glasses should be to use the lowest power lens that can correct the myopic vision to the best vision.

2. Scleral reinforcement surgery for children

High myopia in children under 6 years old is more common in congenital or hereditary conditions and is often a type of myopia. These children often have poor vision and their corrected vision is not ideal. For progressive myopia, pediatric posterior scleral reinforcement surgery can be considered. Xiang Daoman, chief physician of the Ophthalmology Department of Guangzhou Children's Hospital, found that the clinical use of this method to treat high myopia can not only prevent the worsening of myopia, but sometimes also improve naked eye vision.

3. Excimer laser myopia surgery

This is a definite treatment for myopia, however, it is not suitable for children. There are various medical devices for treating myopia on the market, with various types and styles. The effects of the products advertised are miraculous, and some may even be effective in preventing the development of myopia. But for true myopia, it is futile to try to achieve the goal of not wearing glasses through various treatments.

3. How to restore vision for myopic people?

1. Children's myopia is pseudomyopia. Once a child has decreased vision or eye discomfort, many parents take it for granted that it is pseudomyopia and rush to buy eye protection products or look for folk remedies for treatment. Experts say that parents should take their children to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to determine whether they have myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, or other eye diseases so that they can receive symptomatic treatment.

2. Wearing glasses early will make your children more myopic. Some parents hold outdated ideas such as "wearing glasses early will make your children more myopic" and refuse to buy glasses for their children for correction without any basis. Experts say that parents should consider fitting glasses based on the results of eye examinations, combined with vision requirements, eye position, eye muscle movement, and whether there is amblyopia. Before getting glasses, the first thing to do is to have your eyes tested by an optometrist. Only by clarifying the refractive state of the eye can the appropriate lens be given.

3. How can myopic people restore their vision if they only wear glasses without undergoing an eye examination? Some parents often choose an eyewear store at random, especially some irregular eyewear stores, to get glasses for their children. Experts say that there are many reasons for children's vision loss, and it is not necessarily caused by myopia. It is recommended that a systematic eye examination should be conducted before eye examination. The younger the child, the more mydriatic eye examination should be performed before the first glasses are fitted. Mydriatic eye examination can be used to distinguish whether the myopia is true or false.
