2022-07-15
"Take care of your eyes and bright future" is the hope of every parent. At present, all over the country are ushering in summer life. How to use the long vacation to help students protect their eyesight and delay myopia? Tao Yong, chief ophthalmologist of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital Affiliated to Capital Medical University, was invited to explain the knowledge of eye care for netizens in this issue of 1 minute health class. There are a large number of advertisements on the Internet for the treatment of myopia, such as eye protection paste, eye cream, eye protection instrument, acupoint massage, etc. can these products recover vision, reduce the degree, and cure true myopia? In this regard, Tao Yong made it clear that no! "Please don't look at these advertisements again. It will lead to misunderstanding that it is very easy to treat myopia, and on the contrary, it will delay the real prevention and control of myopia." Tao Yong said. "There is no magic medicine or magic instrument for myopia prevention and control. There is only one formula: early prevention, early detection and early correction." Tao Yong analyzed that most of the myopia of teenagers and children is pseudomyopia at the beginning. If we can restore good eye habits, such as adhering to the "20-20-20" rule and two hours of outdoor activities every day, then the pseudomyopia will be completely eliminated and will not develop into true myopia. However, if you develop true myopia, you can only wear glasses. Even if you have a myopia operation, the effect is that you don't need to wear glasses anymore, which is equivalent to putting a pair of glasses inside the eyes. However, the nature of myopia has not changed. Tao Yong stressed that true myopia is irreversible, and early prevention and control of myopia is the key. The right way is to use your eyes scientifically and take appropriate outdoor activities. (outlook new era)
