Many people are afraid that wearing glasses will increase the degree of myopia, so they often insist on not wearing glasses, fearing that the degree will deepen after wearing glasses. Will wearing nearsighted glasses increase the degree?
The editor tells everyone that wearing appropriate glasses generally does not lead to an increase in myopia, and there is not much correlation between them. The increase in myopia is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. For example, prolonged use of electronic devices, heavy academic and work burdens, and prolonged close eye contact can lead to a gradual increase in myopia. Especially during adolescence, as the body develops, the length of the eyeball (i.e. eye axis) gradually increases while growing taller.
Finally, I would like to remind everyone to pay attention to eye hygiene after wearing glasses and not to overuse their eyes, as poor eye habits can lead to the deepening of myopia, let alone eyes that are already nearsighted. So after fitting glasses, it is necessary to use the eyes reasonably. Especially for students, whose eye development is not yet complete, they are easily influenced by the external environment. In addition, heavy academic workload, high academic pressure, irregular diet, unbalanced nutrition, and poor eye habits can all cause continuous changes in vision. This requires parents to pay more attention. After fitting glasses, it is necessary to regularly check their vision and see the recent changes in the eyes. If there is a change in the degree, the lenses should be replaced in a timely manner. Do not force yourself to wear them even if they are already blurry.
