Myopia is a problem that many children face, and the degree of myopia can continue to grow over time. Even if the child is already wearing glasses, the prescription may still be increasing. This can be confusing and worrying for many parents. So, why is myopia still growing when children wear glasses?

First, we need to understand the causes of myopia. Myopia is mainly due to the deformation of the eyeball, which prevents distant objects from focusing properly on the retina. The causes of eye deformation may be multifaceted, including genetics, environmental factors, eye Xi, etc. When children look at electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers for a long time, or use their eyes at close range such as reading books and doing homework for a long time, it is easy to cause eye fatigue and overuse, which in turn leads to an increase in myopia.

Secondly, some children may refuse to wear glasses because they are uncomfortable or uncomfortable. If your child is not Xi to wearing glasses, or finds it uncomfortable to wear glasses, he or she may spend less time wearing glasses or not wearing glasses. This will lead to the eyes being in a state of incorrect adjustment for a long time, which will aggravate the increase in myopia.

In addition, some children may be more susceptible to myopia due to family genetics or other medical reasons. These children may grow faster than other children, even after wearing glasses.

So, how to prevent the growth of myopia in children? First of all, parents should pay attention to their children's eye Xi and minimize the time spent looking at electronic devices, reading books, doing homework and other close eye use for a long time. At the same time, parents should also take their children to the ophthalmologist for regular check-ups to detect and solve vision problems in time. In addition, if the child is already wearing glasses, parents should supervise the child to wear glasses correctly and have regular eye checks and adjustments.

Finally, we would like to remind parents not to worry too much about their children's vision problems. Although myopia may have a certain impact on children's vision, through correct eye Xi and protective measures, the growth of myopia can be effectively slowed down. At the same time, parents should also pay attention to their children's mental health to avoid negative effects on their children's psychology due to vision problems.

In conclusion, the increase in myopia after the child wears glasses may be caused by a variety of factors. Parents should pay attention to their children's eye Xi and protective measures, detect and solve vision problems in time, and pay attention to their children's mental health to avoid negative impact on children's growth due to vision problems.
