"What is myopia 12,000 degrees" has become a hot search.
Many people have never experienced it even 1200 degrees, so how can there be a 12000 degree experience? So everyone is wondering, is this real?
hours news reporter consulted Fu Yinghui, director of the Hangzhou Campus of Zhejiang Provincial Ophthalmology Hospital (Eye and Optometry Hospital Affiliated to Wenzhou Medical University). "Theoretically, myopia is 12,000 degrees, and generally this kind of vision will be accompanied by other diseases." She said that it is not uncommon for myopia in outpatient clinics to be three to four thousand degrees.
Generally speaking, myopia exceeds 600 degrees is considered to be highly myopia, while myopia exceeds 1000 degrees is considered to be extremely myopia. Myopia of more than 3000 degrees cannot be routinely detected through computer automatic refraction. The doctor needs to use the axial conversion and experience to refraction .
For example, the length of the eye axis of a normal person is between 22-24mm, while the length of the eye axis of a person with super-high myopia exceeds 26mm, or even 36mm. "The longer the eye axis, the higher the probability of retinal lesions, and even cracks, fall off, etc.." Director Fu said that high myopia and ultra-high myopia are related to genetics and environment.
"When you are watching this hot search, are you also highly myopia behind the screen of your mobile phone?" Director Fu said that in this era, myopia is no longer news.
The myopic population is no longer divided into occupations or age groups. "In the past, there were many myopia in teachers and accounting. Now there are many industries, and even our doctors have many myopia." Director Fu said that when they entered the school for examination, the number of myopia in the sixth grade of elementary school exceeded 50%, while the rate of myopia in some middle schools was even higher.
In the outpatient clinic, Director Fu encountered a three-year-old baby with myopia reaching more than 1,000 degrees. This is determined by the genetic gene ; there are also seven or eight-year-old primary school students with myopia already have seven or eight degrees. This is the consequence of "using mobile phones and IPAD to accompany their children."
Children are in the growth and development stage and should contact nature as much as possible. "Study has proven that changes in natural light are good for the eyes. So for children, try to go outdoors. Even if it is 10 minutes between classes, you can go outside to bask in the sun and relax your eyes under the natural light."
Whenever you encounter children for medical treatment, Director Fu will be very depressed. "The rate of myopia is so high now, it is unrelated to smartphones." She said that ten years ago, smartphones were not so common. Whether it was adults or children, there were not so many people with myopia, or even high myopia. In recent years, more and more people have been myopic.
Contemporary people always keep their hands on their mobile phones. In the subway, in the venue, and even walking or riding a bicycle, people must stare at the screen of their mobile phones.
Long-term use of the eyes is a direct behavior that leads to an increase in myopia. Director Fu said that when most people become adults, their myopia will stabilize and generally not increase. However, in clinical practice, there are also cases of increased myopia in adults, and more and more.
She has encountered it. A man in his 30s has always had good eyesight and never myopia. During his resignation and unemployed period, he stayed at home to browse his cell phone all day long. Later, he came to the hospital for treatment due to blurred vision. The examination revealed that he had 100 degrees of myopia.
So, don’t take your eyesight changes lightly.
"As the increase in myopia, don't think that wearing appropriate glasses will make everything go well. The more myopia people are, the more likely they are to have eye lesions." Director Fu introduced that, for example, cataract , the high incidence of most people is in their seventies or eighties, and people with high myopia may suffer from cataracts under the age of 60.
In addition to using the eyes correctly, Director Fu suggested that just like regular physical examinations, people with high myopia also need to give regular physical examinations to their eyes, especially comprehensive examinations of the fundus (retina), and promptly discover possible problems (such as retinal degeneration, holes, etc.) to avoid more serious lesions. This periodic inspection is recommended to be performed once a year.
Early detection and early treatment is also suitable for the eyes.
