The Earlier A Child Wears Glasses after Myopia, The Faster The Degree Will Grow Later?

Many parents have heard that the earlier a child wears glasses after myopia, the faster the degree will grow later, so the child is not in a hurry to wear glasses. Is this statement completely correct?

Ophthalmologists said that if it is pseudo-myopia, you don’t have to worry about wearing glasses, but the proportion of pseudo-myopia is not high. If it is true myopia, the earlier you wear glasses is, the better the effect is. If you don't wear glasses in time, using eye fatigue will increase the degree of myopia.

At The Age of 25, The Degree of Glasses Basically Stopped Increasing Physiologically

If the myopia is in adolescence or growth and development stage, whether or not they wear glasses, the eye power will increase physiologically with the use of the eyes, which has little to do with whether or not they wear glasses.

Until about the age of 25, adults’ eye development is more mature and the eye condition is more stable. The eyeglass power will stop physiologically increasing, and the power will no longer deepen. If it continues to grow, you need to pay attention to the possibility of pathological myopia.

Nowadays, electronic devices are flooding all aspects of life. Blue light blocking glasses can protect the eyes to a certain extent, especially for groups who stare at the electronic screen for a long time. The anti-blue light glasses available on the market mainly include anti blue light reading glasses, kids anti blue light glasses and blue light non prescription glasses. Whether you are nearsighted or not, the protective effect of anti-blue glasses on the eyes is obvious to all.

The Gold Standard for Judging True And False Myopia Is Mydriatic Optometry

Myopia is divided into pseudo-myopia and true myopia. On the surface, the performance of false myopia and true myopia is very similar, that is, the distance is blurred. In fact, there are essential differences between the two, and the solutions are also completely different. The most effective way to determine true and false myopia is mydriasis optometry, which uses mydriatics to dilate the pupils and checks the optometry when the ciliary muscles are completely paralyzed and lose their adjustment. If there is no degree of myopia at this time, it is pseudo-myopia; if the pupils are dilated and the adjustment ability of the eyes is still myopia, it is true myopia.

If it is true myopia, and the refractive power is above 75 degrees, it is recommended to wear appropriate myopia glasses in time and correct abnormal visual function. If you don’t wear it in time, your child’s vision center’s tolerance for blurry images and error correction will increase due to the inability to see far away, which reduces the use of accommodative power when looking close, which results in lag and insufficient adjustment. Myopia is getting worse.

If it is pseudo-myopia, you do not need to wear glasses, but you need to do some visual relaxation training to remove pseudo-myopia under the guidance of an optometrist or doctor. Therefore, once it is found that the child has symptoms of myopia, such as squinting, frowning, or tilting the head, it is necessary to go to a regular hospital and optician institution for optometry in time to determine whether the child is true myopia or pseudomyopia.

For children without myopia, playing with electronic devices for a long time can also cause eye problems. Considering this situation, it is recommended to buy kids anti blue light glasses or anti radiation glasses for kids. It is best not to save money to buy cheap anti blue light glasses.

When we need to read, it is also very important to prepare bifocal reading glasses, progressive reading glasses or other best quality reading glasses.

Whether you are wearing rimmed glasses or rimless glasses, nearsightedness or farsightedness glasses, long-term reading or staring at the electronic screen takes time to give your eyes a reasonable rest.
