The myopia population in modern society is becoming increasingly younger and more childlike. In elementary school, you will find various types of eyeglass frames on the faces of elementary school students. Due to being in the stage of growth and development, the degree of myopia in children will continue to increase due to factors such as overuse of the eyes and improper fitting of glasses. So when choosing glasses for children, parents should be more careful. So what should children pay attention to when wearing glasses? Nowadays, there is a common misconception among parents when it comes to fitting their children's glasses. They just need to choose the ones that look good, which lays a hidden danger for their children's vision problems. Children should first undergo an eye examination at an authoritative optometry medical institution to rule out eye diseases that may affect their vision, and then undergo professional optometry. After determining the accurate degree, pay attention to the following points.
1、 Distinguish between true and false
We know that myopia is divided into true myopia and pseudomyopia. True myopia is an organic change that cannot naturally recover. Pseudo myopia is functional, and vision can decline within a few weeks, but with appropriate rest, it can recover to some extent. At this point, parents must take their children to a professional ophthalmic hospital for a comprehensive optometry examination, identify their true myopia, and then wear appropriate glasses based on the degree.
2、 Remove and replace
After getting your glasses ready, you should also know how to wear them. Less than 300 degrees can be worn in class and removed during breaks and homework to reduce eye strain and slow down the progression of myopia. If the temperature exceeds 300 degrees, you should choose a suitable pair of glasses and wear them all the time, because at this time, the vision of the eyes needs to be corrected with nearsighted glasses to achieve normal visual effects, and should not be taken off or worn casually.
3、 Select lenses
Thick glass lenses pressed on children's faces in the past can affect their facial development for a long time. Now the eyeglass lenses have been upgraded to resin materials, which are lightweight, strong in impact resistance, and have fewer fragments after impact. They can minimize facial injuries and are the best choice for children.
4、 Speak about hygiene
After wearing glasses, children should pay attention to eye hygiene. Develop the correct posture for reading and writing. Pay attention to adjusting near and far vision, play less computer and mobile phones, and prevent excessive eye use. Regularly clean the lenses to maintain clear vision. In addition, it is best for children to have their vision checked every six months. Once parents discover abnormal vision in their children, they should promptly seek medical attention at a regular ophthalmic hospital or specialist to identify the cause of the abnormal vision and intervene for treatment as soon as possible. If a child's vision has not been checked by a doctor, parents should not casually match their glasses at some eyewear shops, as improper glasses matching can further affect the child's vision.
