There is no doubt that myopia has become a major health problem that plagues modern people, and it is gradually getting younger. However, there are still many people who feel uneasy and anxious after discovering myopia, or parents who find out that their children are myopia. So, what should you do if your eyes are nearsighted? Kangjing Gold Ophthalmology will support you!
First of all, we need to be clear that myopia is not a disease. Myopia is a phenomenon in which the eye axis is too long or the corneal curvature is too large, causing light rays to focus in front of the retina, making distant objects difficult to see. For low- to moderate myopia, as long as you wear suitable glasses or undergo myopia surgery, you can effectively correct the refractive problem and return your vision to normal.
Secondly, we need to pay attention to the further development of myopia, although myopia is not a disease, but once it develops into high myopia, the complications caused by it will harm vision and even lead to blindness in severe cases. Therefore, it is more important for people who are already myopic to take measures to prevent further progression of myopia. And this requires us to change some bad habits. For example, develop good eye habits, avoid behaviors that cause eye fatigue and aggravate myopia such as reading books, watching TV, and playing with mobile phones for a long time, maintain a correct posture and appropriate distance when reading, and maintain appropriate brightness and contrast when watching TV.
In addition to changing lifestyle habits, there are also ways to control the progression of myopia. For example, do some exercises that are good for eye health, such as eye movement, eye massage, etc. These exercises can help relax the eyes and reduce fatigue, which can help control the progression of myopia. In addition, maintaining a good diet is also beneficial for eye health. For example, eating foods rich in vitamin A and vitamin C, such as carrots and citrus fruits, can help protect your eyes.
In addition, for people who have been myopia, the most important corrected vision, if you are an adult, in addition to wearing glasses, you can also correct your vision through myopia surgery, help your eyes see distant objects clearly, avoid eye fatigue, and cause the degree to rise; If you are a child or adolescent, you can also control the growth of the eye axis and delay the development of myopia by fitting OK lenses, defocusing lenses, and using atropine.
Finally, we have to face this matter with the right mentality, it is not terrible to be myopia, what is terrible is that myopia is deepening, as long as we can take the right measures to maintain a healthy lifestyle and prevent myopia from progressing, we can minimize the adverse effects of myopia.
