Due to poor eye habits and the emergence of a large number of electronic products, the likelihood of people developing myopia is increasing. Some people have been wearing glasses since childhood, but as they grow up, they crave to take them off. In fact, although myopia is a common eye disease, it cannot be completely cured at present. Therefore, some advertisements claiming to cure myopia are completely misleading and cannot be trusted.

What are the misconceptions about myopia?

1. Myopia can be restored to normal

Myopia, as a common ophthalmic disease, can be divided into two types in clinical practice, namely true and false. Pseudo myopia can be restored to normal, but the truth is that myopia is an irreversible process. Under normal circumstances, the axial length of the eye is around 24 millimeters. People with myopia have a significantly elongated axial length, with an increase of about 300 degrees for every millimeter of increase. Once you suffer from myopia, you must choose a regular hospital, have a scientific and standardized vision, and wear glasses to correct your vision. If you don't like wearing glasses, you can choose a regular hospital to correct myopia through refractive surgery.

2. People with low myopia do not need to wear glasses

If an individual's myopia is relatively low, not wearing glasses is not advisable. Some people with low myopia are worried that wearing glasses will make myopia worse, but this is actually a fallacy. The prevention of deepening myopia has nothing to do with the eyes, and poor eye habits are the main factors that deepen myopia. Wearing appropriate glasses not only allows people to see things more clearly, but also slows down the development of myopia. When a child's myopia exceeds 100 degrees, they must wear glasses. Even if the temperature is below 300 degrees, adults do not need to wear glasses if they do not need to do clear work or drive.

3. People with myopia don't have to worry about presbyopia

People with myopia tend to develop presbyopia at an older age, but that doesn't mean they won't have presbyopia. Regardless of whether their vision is normal or not, everyone cannot escape presbyopia, which is a natural law and a normal physiological phenomenon. After the age of 40, the crystalline body gradually hardens and its elasticity significantly decreases, reducing its ability to regulate and making it difficult to see things up close. Myopia and presbyopia are completely different diseases, and people with high myopia must wear two pairs of glasses.

4. Without wearing glasses, the degree will decrease

Reducing the degree of the eyes by not wearing glasses is not feasible. For people who wear glasses for a long time, suddenly removing them can improve their naked eye vision, which is mainly related to the central nervous system of the brain. Because the brain is the central nervous system that has adapted to blurry images, its ability to process images has significantly improved. Suddenly removing glasses can indeed temporarily improve vision, but the degree of myopia does not change. In order to make people see more clearly, the ciliary muscle constantly regulates, exacerbating visual fatigue. People with high myopia must wear glasses for a long time to reduce eye fatigue.

5. Wearing glasses can cause eye deformation

There is actually no relationship between eye deformation and wearing glasses. For myopic patients, eye deformation is caused by the disease itself. In addition, nearsighted glasses belong to concave lenses, which reduce visual effects. Therefore, when wearing glasses, the eyes can be seen to shrink, and when removing glasses, the eyes will become larger.

Different people have different degrees of myopia, so they wear different glasses. For people with low myopia, in order to avoid an increase in myopia, it is also necessary to wear glasses. Not wearing glasses does not reduce the degree, but may lead to bad eye habits such as squinting. Myopia patients need to pay attention to developing scientific eye habits and can also accept advanced treatment methods such as lasers.
