How can I know if my eyes are nearsighted

There are several symptoms of myopia, and if you notice symptoms such as blurred vision in the distance and squinting when looking at things, you may be nearsighted.

Manifestations of myopia:

1. Squint. When distant targets cannot be seen clearly, squinting is often used to compensate, because the eyelids can block part of the pupil when squinting, reducing diffuse light and reducing the impact of astigmatism, thereby temporarily increasing and improving visual acuity.

2. Blink. Frequent blinking can be programmed to alleviate myopia and increase visual clarity. Many people will see things more clearly when they are in tears.

3. Tilt your head. It often happens that tilting the head to watch TV, also because when tilting the head, it can reduce the interference and influence of some diffuse light, and some children will even develop the habit of tilting their head.

4. Error. The target in the distance is not clear, and I don't say hello when I see acquaintances. I make mistakes during exams, I can trip over or hurt myself when I move in the dark, and some of them have a decline in academic performance, and I often have to borrow other people's notes to copy, etc.

First, understand what type of myopia you have. Myopia is divided into true myopia and pseudomyopia.

In the case of pseudomyopia, vision can be restored to a certain extent by taking proper rest and correct eye exercises, avoiding overuse of the eyes.

In the case of true myopia, proper rest and correct eye exercises can relieve eye fatigue and prevent myopia from progressing, but not restore vision. True myopia can be corrected with ultra-fast all-laser surgery, but not everyone can have laser surgery. The patient needs to be at least 18 years old, have no diseases and inflammation in the eye, and have sufficient corneal thickness, etc.

Before the operation, the regular eye hospital will give the patient a very detailed examination to ensure the effectiveness of the surgery and the safety of the patient.

If you don't want to have surgery, you can consider wearing orthokeratology lenses, which not only correct your vision, but also control the progression of myopia very well. Moreover, orthokeratology lenses are very convenient, you only need to wear them when you rest at night, and you can see clearly without glasses during work and study during the day.

Most optometry in optical stores is a simple computer refraction, which can detect the prescription, but the refraction is not accurate and comprehensive, and it is not sure whether it is true myopia. At the same time, wearing glasses with inaccurate prescription can harm the eyes and deepen myopia.

It is recommended that you go to the hospital for dilated refraction (the use of cycloplegic agents to refraction the patient while at rest) to determine whether it is true myopia or pseudomyopia, and then determine the plan to restore vision.

Go to the hospital for a formal examination to confirm whether it is pseudomyopia or true myopia.

If you have blurred vision on weekdays, it is recommended to go to an eye hospital or optometry center for an optometry examination as soon as possible to determine whether it is true myopia or pseudomyopia!
