    I don't know if the doctor did dilated refraction, but it may be part of pseudomyopia.

    Now the only way to become myopic is through surgery, but I would suggest that there is no need for surgery at a very young age, the body is still growing, and the myopia is still deepening. Surgery should be done at least when vision is relatively stable. You can look up some eye exercises on the Internet to exercise to reduce eye fatigue and prevent myopia from progressing too quickly.

    When you can't see clearly, you must wear glasses, or it will be very fast if you don't deepen.

    With glasses, you can go to a large optical store to learn about progressive multifocal lenses for teenagers, which have different prescriptions in these glasses lenses, which is a good help for the control of myopia progression in children and adolescents. The landlord can consult for reference in detail.

    During this time, there are many groups of college entrance examination students who have been consulting on laser myopia, and there are many high school students in this huge group who are still 17 years old and have not reached the appropriate age for laser myopia at the age of 18, so there are many high school students who will doubt this question, 'I am 17 years old, can I use laser**myopia?' ’。Suitable conditions for laser myopia** are that myopic people between the ages of 18 and 45 can undergo laser myopia** after passing various examinations.

    If you are between 17 and 18 years old, you need to determine whether your myopia has stabilized within two years, that is, the increase in myopia within one year is not more than 50 degrees. The reason why the age of 18 years old is required in the indication is mainly because the eyes of people under the age of 18 are still in the development stage, the myopia degree has not been stabilized, and the growth of myopia after myopia surgery is still possible. In people over the age of 18, the eyes have matured and grown relatively steadily, so the possibility of new myopia is very small.

    We mentioned in the previous article that most people who have myopia surgery have a misunderstanding, that is, they think that after myopic eye surgery, they are no longer myopic and will no longer be myopia. In fact, it is not, myopia eye surgery only solves the current myopia degree of the surgical patient and achieves the purpose of removing the glasses, and cannot change the fact that the myopic eye structure cannot be changed, so in order to avoid this misunderstanding, we also try to use various preoperative control methods to avoid new myopia after surgery.

    Because the human eye is not fully mature before the age of 18, if myopia surgery is done at this time, it is likely to cause myopia to suffer from myopia again after surgery. Therefore, laser myopia surgery requires the patient to be at least 18 years old. In addition to the age limit, there are many other conditions, including no active ocular surface disease in the eye, good fundus condition, corneal thickness, and myopia are also factors.

    Therefore, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a detailed examination to know whether it is suitable or not.

    The eyes are precious sensory organs, and we must be cautious in choosing the best way. Finally, it is reminded that you can eat more colored vegetables and fruits in your life, which is very helpful for the protection of eyesight.

    Nowadays, the most common method of myopia is laser surgery, but in order to ensure the safety and quality of surgery, there are very strict requirements for patients

    First of all, it is necessary to consider the age requirements of patients with myopia].

    Patients who are suitable for excimer laser ** myopia surgery are generally between the ages of 18 and 55. Because the eyes of adolescents under the age of 18 are not yet mature, the degree of myopia is unstable, while the elderly patients over 55 years old are often accompanied by eye diseases such as cataracts.

    Secondly, consider the requirements of the degree].

    Patients who are suitable for excimer laser ** myopia surgery should have a relatively stable degree in the past two years, with annual variations. The diopter range of excimer laser** myopia correction is about 100-1500 degrees for myopia, 600 degrees for farsightedness, and no more than 600 degrees for astigmatism. The actual power of correction for each person also depends on the thickness of the patient's cornea.

    Finally, it depends on whether the patient has active eye disease

    Acute conjunctivitis, blepharitis, keratitis, corneal ulcer, dacryocystitis, iridescent limacitis, keratoconus, rabbit eye, dry eye disease, fundus hemorrhage, retinal detachment, etc. are not suitable for excimer laser **myopia.

    Generally, due to the growth and development stage of minors, their vision development is not particularly stable, so it will affect the safety and quality of surgery, but there are also some minors whose vision is complete, as long as they pass the pre-operation examination, they can still be myopic through surgery.

    But it is also recommended that if the child is too young, orthokeratology lenses can be used to **myopia. This is a non-surgical** method that is generally suitable for adolescents.

    Orthokeratology lenses are the most effective way to control myopia in adolescents, controlling myopia and astigmatism progression in adolescents. Orthokeratology lenses are generally worn at night before going to bed, there is no discomfort after wearing, and it does not affect vision and sleep, and it is removed after getting up the next morning, and you can maintain clear vision all day long without wearing glasses during the day. Because of the night, I will not think that the child's schoolwork will affect the effect, and orthokeratology lenses are the best choice for teenagers.

    The cause and degree of myopia are different for everyone, and it is best to determine which method to choose for your child after an examination by an eye hospital.
