When the originally clear world becomes blurry, many people’s first reaction is to wear glasses. However, is this the right approach? Are there any special precautions when wearing glasses?
“Actually, this idea simplifies eye problems. There are many reasons for blurred vision, not necessarily myopia or hyperopia. There are also many details that need to be paid attention to when wearing glasses.” When blurred vision occurs, the cause must first be clarified to avoid delaying treatment. If you need glasses, you must not only choose a professional and reliable optical dispensing institution, but also pay attention to using the new glasses correctly after getting them.
Detailed inspection to obtain accurate data
Preliminary screening, file establishment, medical optometry, special examination, intraocular pressure measurement, lens fitting… In the eye hospital clinic, a complete glasses dispensing process takes 2 hours, with the purpose of obtaining accurate data and making personalized glasses. If it is the first time for children and teenagers to wear glasses, they also need to undergo dilation treatment. This is because the ciliary muscles of children’s eyes have strong adjustment ability. After dilation, the ciliary muscles can completely relax and lose their adjustment ability, so as to obtain more objective results. ,accurate data.
Based on the patient’s refractive power, astigmatism data, eye axis, interpupillary distance and other data, they will also take into account the age, eye position, binocular vision function and eye habits of the glasses wearer to issue a prescription for glasses, and Choose lenses for opticians to try on, determine the prescription, and then make glasses.
When selecting lenses, they will consider multiple factors such as optical performance, safety, comfort and functionality. When choosing a frame, you need to consider the weight of the frame, the refractive index of the lens, the interpupillary distance and height of the wearer, the style and size of the frame, etc. “For example, if you wear glasses with high prescription and thick lenses, if you choose a large and heavy frame, the whole glasses will be too heavy and uncomfortable to wear; and to ensure the stability of the glasses, you should not choose a frame that is too thin. “
If you don’t adapt to your new glasses, you should adjust them in time.
Why is it uncomfortable to wear new glasses? This is a normal phenomenon, because our eyes need to break in with new lenses and frames. Some opticians may have deformed frames and worn lenses in their old glasses, and they will feel uncomfortable after replacing them with new glasses, and this feeling will continue. Relief may occur in one to two weeks. If there is no relief for a long time, you need to consider whether there is a problem in the process of wearing glasses, or there may be an eye disease.
Proper glasses fitting process is the key to a comfortable wearing experience. “Once, a child who was wearing glasses for the first time came to see a doctor. The child had just been equipped with 100-degree myopia glasses, which were always uncomfortable to wear. After examination, it was found that the child actually had a severe hyperopia problem. Wearing myopia glasses was tantamount to Adding insult to injury.” The doctor said that some optical dispensing institutions have omitted some optometry and optical dispensing processes due to lack of equipment or in order to speed up the dispensing of glasses, and are unable to obtain accurate data, which may affect the final result of dispensing glasses.
There are also some consumers who choose to have their glasses checked in one institution and get glasses in another institution, or use the data to get glasses online, which may lead to unsuitable glasses. This is because the patient regards the optometry prescription as the prescription for glasses, and the prescription for glasses cannot only refer to the former. After the glasses are fitted, the wearer needs to wear them on the spot to see far and near, and go up and down stairs. If there is any discomfort, he or she needs to make adjustments on the spot. .
You should also wear glasses in these situations
During the vision screening at school, some children’s binocular vision was 4.1 and 5.0 respectively. Because they could still see the blackboard clearly, these children often did not wear glasses. “This large difference in vision between the two eyes is called anisometropia, which is a common eye disease among children and adolescents. If not corrected in time, it may have adverse effects on the child’s eye development and visual function.” Cui Yucui said that children and adolescents find that anisometropia After anisometropia, it can be corrected by wearing glasses, refractive surgery, etc. Young children with amblyopia need amblyopia treatment and visual function training.
My child has low myopia, can he not wear glasses? This is a confusion for many parents. Cui Yucui suggested that parents should first take their children to the hospital for examination to determine whether their children have true myopia or pseudomyopia. The former is an organic change in the eyes that cannot recover on its own; the latter may recover after rest.
“Wearing glasses is to see things clearly and delay the development of myopia, but wearing glasses is not a one-time solution, and more attention should be paid to eye usage habits.” Cui Yucui reminded parents that if children and teenagers live irregular lives, use their eyes at close range for a long time, or use electronic products etc., will cause the eyes to develop from myopia to myopia, or myopia will deepen. Therefore, parents should urge their children to reduce the use of their eyes at close range, increase outdoor activities, pay attention to eye hygiene, and relax their eyes in a timely manner.
