Eye protectors prevent myopia, but the more you wear it, the more myopia doctors remind: rehabilitation equipment can only relieve visual fatigue

Xiamen Net News (Xiamen Daily Reporter Liu Rong Correspondent Peng Qinping) Some parents are reluctant to let their children wear glasses early after finding out that their children’s eyesight has deteriorated, and put their hopes on rehabilitation equipment, but the more they wear them, the more myopia. The doctor reminded that the eye protector can only relieve visual fatigue and cannot reverse true myopia.

At the beginning of this year, Ms. Chen’s son, who was in the third grade of primary school, said that his eyesight would become blurred after reading for a long time. She immediately took her son to the hospital for examination, and sure enough, the child had 50 degrees of myopia in his right eye and 80 degrees of myopia in his left eye. But Ms. Chen was unwilling to let her son wear glasses so early, and some enthusiasts suggested that she could buy an eye protector online to try. She searched the Internet and saw the introduction that “the eye protector can relieve children’s visual fatigue through acupoint massage, hot compress and warm pupil, which can not only effectively prevent children’s myopia, but also restore children’s eyesight”, and immediately placed the order to buy it , I wear it for my son for more than 10 minutes before going to bed every night. But after insisting on it for more than two months, not only did her son’s vision not recover, but the degree of myopia in both eyes deepened. She hurriedly took the child to the hospital for treatment, and under the guidance of the doctor, scientific and correct eye protection was carried out.

Xiamen Qianpu Hospital Chief Physician Lin Xiaoqing introduced that the eye protector on the market uses a constant temperature method to massage and heat the eyes, which has a certain effect on relieving visual fatigue. It can also help to restore vision. Once diagnosed as true myopia, it is irreversible. Choosing not to wear glasses for children after myopia is actually not conducive to the recovery of children’s vision, and it is easy to cause children to miss the best period of myopia correction.

Regarding how to protect children’s eyesight, Dr. Lin Xiaoqing suggested that parents should not let their children look at electronic products, and choose electronic products with larger screens and higher resolutions during online classes. It is best to use paper-like ink screens. Or adjust the appropriate brightness according to the environment. When watching TV or projector, keep your eyes more than 3 meters away from the screen, keep your eyes straight, do not lie down or tilt your head.
