summary

Although I have been short-sighted for many years, I feel that the degree of myopia is increasing, and it seems that it has dropped to below 1.0. This kind of pathological myopia makes me very uncomfortable. Let's see how to treat rational myopia.

How is pathological myopia treated

First: lens correction. Before fitting glasses, we should first find out the true degree of myopia through the difficult light. For teenagers, optometry should be carried out under cycloplegia, so as to control the regulating effect and eliminate pseudomyopia. The principle of glasses should adopt the lowest degree lens which can also make the vision of myopia correct to the best vision. In general, myopia below 6.00D should be fully corrected and often worn; in high myopia, it is necessary to completely correct to obtain better vision, but it is often intolerable. Therefore, we have to reduce the lens power (concave lens is generally between 1.00d and 3.00d), so as to maintain comfort and binocular visual function.

Second: contact lenses. Wearing contact lens can not only increase the visual field, but also reduce the anisometropia and maintain the binocular visual function. Young people with myopia, not only can use contact lens to increase vision, but also can press the cornea to prevent the development of myopia. We should pay attention to keep the eye hygiene, and carry out disinfection and maintenance according to the requirements of treatment.

Finally: Telescope glasses. Very high myopia patients or macular lesions, by telescope glasses, often can read or do near work. The magnification of this kind of glasses is 1.8 times, so the far vision can be enhanced by 2% - 3.5%, and the near vision can be enhanced by up to 5 times. Because the field of vision is too small, it can not be used on the road.

matters needing attention

Pathological myopia is mainly caused by genetic factors, so although some people are not engaged in close vision work, they will still get sick, and may lead to retinal detachment, macular hemorrhage and other serious complications.
