This article will specifically introduce parents' cognitive misunderstandings about glasses for children with myopia so that more parents understand the importance of wearing glasses for children with myopia.
the importance of wearing glasses for children with myopia

At present, the incidence of myopia in adolescents around the world is increasing day by day, and it also shows a trend of younger age myopia. Many children wear myopia glasses at a young age. However, some parents still refuse to give their children glasses even if they know that their children are short-sighted.

They believe that wearing glasses will make children more nearsighted and may never take them off. It can be seen that parents have some misunderstandings about glasses for children with myopia.

First of all, when the child is diagnosed with true myopia, if the naked eye vision is less than 0.5, it is often necessary to "squint hard" to see. Not wearing glasses will only make the eyes always in a state of fatigue, not only will not reduce the degree but also cause myopia to grow too fast. The improvement of visual quality and eye fatigue after wearing glasses can delay the progression of myopia to a certain extent.

Second, the deepening of myopia has nothing to do with wearing glasses. The child is in a state of growth and development, and the physiological development will make the eye axis continue to grow.

Coupled with the prolonged use of the eyes at close range, and the incorrect eye habits, even if the child does not wear glasses, the degree of myopia will continue to increase. For example, some parents have long known that their children are short-sighted but refuse to make their kids wear glasses. After a few years, they will check and find that their children are already highly short-sighted.

In addition, parents are also worried that their children will not be able to take off their glasses when they wear them. Indeed, some children say they can see clearly even if their naked eye vision is only 0.2. But optometry found that there are more than 200 degrees of myopia. After wearing glasses, he is reluctant to take off his glasses.

In fact, glasses can make external objects accurately focus on the retina of the eye, and the visual quality is significantly improved. Just imagine, compared with the clear world after wearing glasses, who would like to take off the glasses and return to the original blurry state?

Therefore, once a child is diagnosed with true myopia, there is absolutely no need to refuse glasses. Sometimes glasses can not only improve vision but also help the eyes maintain relatively perfect visual function. For example:

1. Binocular anisometropia

These children have an unbalanced vision in both eyes, and there is a large difference in the diopter between the left and right eyes. At this time, glasses not only correct vision but also achieve a balanced vision of both eyes, so that both eyes can be used at the same time to prevent the occurrence of exotropia.

2. Intermittent exotropia

In order to see close objects clearly, the eye muscles need to work to refocus the image on the retina, a process called accommodation. While adjusting, the eyes must also turn inward to face the object, which is called a collection.

Patients with exotropia usually have poor collection function, and myopia lenses can stimulate the intraocular muscles for adjustment, and a certain adjustment will bring a certain amount of collection; therefore, for patients with myopia accompanied by intermittent exotropia, orthopedic glasses can be used, which can control the increase in strabismus and maintain the patient's binocular vision as much as possible.

Therefore, when your child has myopia, we must take the child to optometry to determine the degree of myopia as soon as possible, and choose suitable and high-quality children's glasses to avoid the child's worse vision.
