What to do if one eye is nearsighted

In this society where power and reputation are extremely valued, many children have damaged their eyes due to excessive study pressure, and there are many students with myopia. However, due to various reasons, many children have myopia in only one eye, which affects people's lives. If both eyes are myopic, they can just get a pair of glasses. However, if only one eye is myopic, it is difficult to get a pair of glasses.

Teenagers with myopia must rule out pseudomyopia!

Before fitting glasses, doctors will fully dilate the pupil to determine whether the child has true myopia or false myopia. If the child's myopia is found to be false after dilation, timely treatment can be given without the need for glasses. This is because there are true and false myopia in children, among which pseudomyopia in children accounts for the majority. In this case, you only need to change unscientific eye habits and choose appropriate methods to correct it. Correction is not recommended. However, for children with true myopia, their eyeballs are still developing and they cannot undergo myopia surgery. At this time, they must wear myopia glasses to correct the refractive power of their eyeballs.

Children with true myopia need to wear glasses for a long time!

Some parents worry that their children's myopia will become worse after wearing glasses. Zhou Xinping, an optometry expert at Chengdu Pure Eye Hospital, said: If children with myopia wear glasses in time after becoming myopic, not only will it not make the myopia worse, it can also correct myopia, delay the progression of myopia and treat eye diseases.

Another function of wearing myopia glasses for children with myopia is to correct the eye's accommodation and concentration functions in a timely manner. In particular, myopic children who have already developed latent strabismus must wear glasses to prevent further imbalance in eye accommodation and convergence.

MCT orthokeratology lenses are recommended for the treatment of myopia in children

Orthokeratology lenses are orthokeratology lenses designed with a special inverse geometric shape. The inner surface of the lens is composed of multiple arc segments. It utilizes the uneven distribution of the lens and the tear layer, conducts pressure through the tear film in the central area, and uses the tear siphon effect in the reverse arc area to gradually flatten the curvature of the corneal optical zone and shorten the eye axis, thereby effectively preventing the development of myopia. The effectiveness of corneal reshaping technology in changing naked eye vision during the day and controlling the progression of myopia in adolescents has been recognized by the academic community and international ophthalmic medical centers.

Research reports from Ohio State University and Hong Kong Polytechnic University pointed out that the lengthening of the eye axis after teenagers wear orthokeratology lenses is half of that of wearing frame glasses and soft contact lenses; research from the Optometry Research Center of Peking University showed that after wearing orthokeratology lenses for three years, the average annual myopia degree increased by 8 degrees, while wearing frame glasses increased by 67 degrees. Research also shows that orthokeratology lenses are suitable for myopic patients of all ages who need them, especially adolescents with low to moderate myopia within 600 degrees. They can quickly help improve vision and have a significant effect on controlling the development of myopia in adolescents.

The above are methods to improve myopia in one eye. Although myopia in one eye brings us a lot of inconvenience, after understanding the above methods of correcting or treating myopia, we are no longer afraid of the arrival of these inconveniences. Myopia in one eye no longer feels like an obstacle. There is a solution.
