What to do if your child has myopia in one eye

More and more people are suffering from myopia in our lives. The impact of this disease on our lives is not just a little bit, and we may even face greater risks. When a child has myopia in one eye, you should know that this situation may be caused by not paying attention to the correct use of the eyes for a long time or other problems, and you should pay attention to treatment.

What to do if you are nearsighted

1. 0K lens treatment

Simply put, OK lenses are a type of specially made semi-rigid corneal contact lens that improves vision by reshaping the cornea. However, this method only changes the time of wearing glasses in disguise, and it does not cure myopia. It is currently only a clinical trial in the experimental stage, and there are many complications. It must be carried out under the guidance of an experienced doctor.

2. Surgical treatment

Surgical treatment of myopia is currently the only effective method to correct myopia (take off glasses). From the perspective of current medical development, accurate laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is the safest and most effective. However, this type of surgery is generally only suitable for patients over 18 years old with stable myopia in the past two years.

3. Eyeglass Treatment

Includes frame glasses and contact lenses (contact lenses). Frame glasses are the oldest, safest and most effective method of correcting myopia. Although contact lenses have their own advantages, lens cleaning and eye care are more complicated. Therefore, they are not the best choice for young myopic students who have heavy study tasks and poor self-life ability.

IV. Drug Treatment

From the current medical development, there is no drug that can clearly treat true myopia or prevent the progression of myopia. For pseudomyopia, some ciliary muscle relaxants can be used to relax the spasmodic ciliary muscles, thereby promoting the recovery of vision.

However, it should be noted that pseudomyopia is not real myopia, and normal vision can be restored through proper eye use and rest.

Why is myopia

1. Disease

A considerable number of patients have suffered from infectious diseases such as measles and whooping cough. Most of these patients have enlarged eyeballs. When the eyeballs are in an enlarged state, the refractive power of the eyeballs decreases and vision weakens.

2. Noise

Research by relevant experts shows that when the sound intensity is above 90 decibels, the sensitivity of the rod cells in the retina of the fundus to distinguish light brightness begins to decrease, and the time to identify weak light reaction is prolonged. When it exceeds 45 decibels, 40% of people's pupils dilate. When it reaches 115 decibels, the eye's adaptability to light brightness decreases by 20%, accompanied by a weakening of color vision ability. (Intern editor: Quan Xiaolong)
