Pupils should use eye drops carefully to relieve eye fatigue

2022-04-02

Due to the popularity of electronic products, there are more and more primary school students with myopia. Many parents are worried and try their best to delay the progress of their children's myopia. Many parents have questions: I heard that low-dose atropine eye drops can prevent myopia. Is there any effect? Should primary school students usually drop some eye drops to relieve eye fatigue? What kind of eye drops are generally good... The reporter interviewed Ma Shengsheng, director of Ophthalmology of Guangzhou Red Cross Hospital. Ma Shengsheng introduced that according to the white paper on myopia Management (2019), low concentration atropine eye drops generally refer to atropine eye drops with a concentration of less than 1%. However, at present, there are more studies on atropine eye drops of 0.01%, which can reduce the growth of myopia of children and adolescents aged 6 ~ 12 by 60% ~ 80%, reduce myopia by about 0.53 degrees / year, and the reduction of ocular axis is 0.15 mm / year. It has the strongest myopia control effect. Therefore, it is generally recommended to use atropine eye drops with a concentration of 0.01%. Its advantage is to use it once before going to bed every night, which is simple to use and cheap. The effect of atropine alone on the growth of myopia in children aged 12 ~ 6 years is not obvious. In addition, atropine eye drops with low concentration have not been registered clinically in Chinese mainland. It is not recommended to purchase and use without the guidance of a specialist. "As for whether primary school students should take eye drops to relieve eye fatigue, I personally think that the relief of eye fatigue should not rely on eye drops, but mainly on rest, long-term vision and short-term observation." Ma Shengsheng said that progressive myopia is the focus of clinical treatment. If the child is found to be short-sighted, be sure to take the child to the specialist of the regular third class hospital for correction and treatment. Choose the appropriate treatment method according to the doctor's suggestions. It is not recommended to go to the glasses matching center outside the hospital. For high myopia, we must regularly check the condition of fundus to avoid more serious complications caused by fundus lesions. (outlook new era)
