There are also many things to pay attention to when wearing reading glasses, and it is not just a matter of just choosing a pair and wearing them. If worn improperly, it will further affect vision. Wear glasses as soon as possible and don’t delay. As you age, your eyes’ ability to adjust becomes worse and worse. Presbyopia is a normal physiological process. Don’t borrow someone else’s glasses. It’s best to have glasses custom-made to fit your eyes.
Elderly people should pay attention to avoid these misunderstandings when wearing reading glasses:
NO.01 Penny Wise, Pound Foolish
Reading glasses on the street often have the same power for both eyes and a fixed interpupillary distance. However, the vast majority of elderly people have refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism, and their eyes have different aging levels. If you wear a pair of glasses casually, not only will it be impossible to use them, The elderly’s vision cannot achieve the best effect, but it will cause visual interference and eye fatigue.
NO.02 Wear glasses without refraction or examination
Before wearing reading glasses, you should go to the hospital for a comprehensive eye examination, including distance vision, near vision, intraocular pressure and fundus examination. Only after cataracts, glaucoma and some fundus diseases have been ruled out can the prescription be determined by optometry.
NO.03 Always wear the same pair of reading glasses
As the elderly age, the degree of dazzling will also increase. Once the reading glasses are inappropriate, they must be replaced in time, otherwise it will bring a lot of inconvenience to the elderly’s life and accelerate the degree of presbyopia in the eyes. When reading glasses are used for a long time, the lenses will appear scratches, aging and other phenomena, resulting in a decrease in light transmission and affecting the imaging quality of the lenses.
NO.04 Use magnifying glass instead of reading glasses
Old people often use magnifying glasses instead of reading glasses. The magnifying glass converted into reading glasses is equivalent to 1000-2000 degrees. If you “pamper” your eyes like this for a long time, it will be difficult to find the right degree when you wear reading glasses again. Many people often share a pair of reading glasses without considering the difference in vision between people. A couple or multiple people share a pair of reading glasses. At this time, one party will accommodate the other, and the result of the accommodation is that the vision condition of the eyes will become worse and worse. Difference. Reading glasses should be used by each person and cannot be shared.
NO.05 Think myopia will not lead to presbyopia
There is a saying in life that people with myopia will not get presbyopia when they get old. In fact, people with myopia will still suffer from presbyopia. When a person with myopia needs to take off their glasses or pull things farther away to see clearly, it is a sign of presbyopia.
NO.06 Think presbyopia will get better on its own
You can read without reading glasses. When this happens, you have early cataracts. The lens becomes cloudy and absorbs water, which causes refractive changes. It is similar to myopia. It just “reaches” the degree of presbyopia and you can see close objects. No more reading glasses.
NO.07 Think that presbyopia is a normal physiological phenomenon and does not require health care
After people reach a certain age, in addition to presbyopia, they often suffer from many eye diseases such as dry eye syndrome, cataracts, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, etc., all of which will affect visual function. After presbyopia occurs, you should go to a regular hospital for detailed examination. You should not spend too long reading or looking at the computer, and you should often look far away, blink your eyes, do more outdoor exercise, and eat properly.
NO.08 Things to note when wearing reading glasses
Patients with high blood sugar should lower their blood sugar to the normal range before wearing reading glasses. Because diabetes can cause abnormal blood sugar and then cause various vascular diseases, one of which is retinopathy. In severe cases, it can cause blurred vision, but it has nothing to do with presbyopia.
When the visual acuity difference between the two eyes exceeds 300 degrees, it can be regarded as anisometropia. In this case, the brain can no longer fuse the images formed by the two eyes. In the long run, it will cause headaches, blurred vision and other conditions. When the vision difference between the two eyes of an elderly person exceeds 400 degrees, it is best to go to a professional ophthalmology clinic for help and find some compromise methods to deal with it with the help of a doctor.
