Nowadays, myopia has become more prevalent at a younger age. Every holiday or before and after school starts, many parents take their children to the hospital to check their vision and optometry. After the examination, there are many children who need to wear myopia glasses. Many parents believe that "after wearing glasses, the degree will become deeper and deeper", and some parents have given glasses to their children, but they also try not to let their children wear them, for fear that the children will not be able to take them off when they wear them.... ..
Faced with such a misunderstanding, today we will go to the ophthalmology department to learn about optometry and glasses.
Children who receive glasses for the first time must undergo optometry after mydriasis. Through pupil dilation, the ciliary muscle of the eye is completely paralyzed, the pseudo-myopia caused by the excessive tension of the eye muscle is relieved for a long time, and the optometry is performed under the condition of removing the adjustment effect, so as to obtain the real refraction state of the eye .
Mydriatic optometry
01Slow mydriatic optometry
It is often used for refraction examinations for children younger than 9 years old. Children aged 9-12 are known to have hyperopia, astigmatism, or severe accommodation spasm, it is also best to slow down Rapid mydriasis optometry.
Children apply atropine eye ointment to both eyes twice a day, usually for 3-5 days. After the point is completed, the bilateral lacrimal sac area is compressed for 5-10 minutes, and the point is enough for 3-5 days before the hospital optometry.
Those who need to be re-examined will be re-examined in the hospital after three weeks.
During mydriasis, the child has symptoms such as shyness and vision (phobia), dry mouth, and near vision. You can wear sunglasses and drink plenty of water when you go out.
02 Rapid mydriatic optometry
is often used for refraction examinations of adolescents over 12 years old, and can also be used for 9-12 year olds who return for myopia. Some 7-9-year-old patients with suspected myopia are eager for examination. During the school period, in order not to affect the class, they can use it temporarily, but during the winter and summer vacations, they must choose slow mydriasis for diagnosis.
Children use compound tropicamide eye drops, once every 10 minutes, for a total of 4 times, and then optometry.The drug's action time is about 8 hours, and generally does not affect the next day's class and daily activities.
According to the doctor's order, generally 24 hours can be retested and prescription for glasses.
Frame and Lens Selection
There are many types of frames and lenses on the market, and the prices vary greatly. Many parents blindly pursue expensive lenses when choosing lenses for their children, thinking that only expensive glasses are the best and the most suitable for children's eye development. In fact, it is not the case. The main premise for children to choose glasses is to suit them. Don't blindly pursue fashion and choose fashionable large-frame frames. When choosing glasses for children and adolescents, they can choose frames with soft edges and nose pads. When choosing lenses, you should try your best to consider the development of children's eyes and visual function to give appropriate corrective lenses.
The Ophthalmology Department of Fengtai District Maternal and Child Health Hospital is located on the 4th floor of the Early Childhood Center, You'anmen Campus.
