Three common sense that eyeglass enthusiasts must understand
Science popularization: Does myopia get deeper as you wear glasses? Many people have a mindset that wearing glasses will cause myopia to get deeper as you wear them. At first glance, it seems reasonable, but in fact, it is very wrong. Simply put, myopia is the cause, wearing glasses is the result. The purpose of wearing glasses is to correct myopia and see clearly, not to cause myopia to deepen. The deepening of myopia is related to two factors: congenital inheritance and acquired bad eye habits, but not directly related to wearing glasses. For example, teenagers themselves have unstable myopia, and if they do not pay attention to proper eye use, or if their parents have high myopia, whether or not they wear glasses, myopia may deepen. It doesn't matter where you go with popular science glasses. Glasses are the "standard" for myopia, but there are also considerations for where you go to get glasses. Especially for teenagers who are getting glasses for the first time, ophthalmologists recommend choosing a professional optometry institution or specialized ophthalmic hospital. For the first time, teenagers and children need to undergo dilated optometry to identify whether they have pseudomyopia. Pseudomyopia does not require glasses, and vision can be restored after medical intervention and sufficient rest. Only after dilated optometry can more accurate myopia degree be identified to prevent overcorrection. There is no step of dilating pupils in the eyewear store. In addition, teenagers who cannot see clearly may have myopia, and it cannot be ruled out that eye diseases such as amblyopia and congenital cataracts cannot be solved in eyewear stores. Is it necessary to wear glasses? Wearing glasses is a convenient method for correcting myopia, but some people do not like to wear glasses. For adults, myopia surgery can be considered to permanently correct myopia problems. Some parents are unwilling for their children to wear glasses, and teenagers themselves are not suitable for myopia surgery. They can consider using Irish corneal reshaping lenses. Corneal reshaping lenses have two special functions: first, they only need to be worn for 8 hours while sleeping at night, without the need to wear glasses during the day, to have clear naked eye vision. Secondly, they can effectively control the growth of myopia in teenagers, killing two birds with one stone. For now, it is only effective for teenagers aged 8 and above and below 600 degrees Celsius.
