Let your eyes fly for a while?Doctor: Be careful, true myopia cannot be cured

"Take care of the eyes, the future of light" is the hope of every parent. At present, there are long summer life in various places. After a long online class, how to protect your eyes scientifically? In this issue of "1 minute Health Class", Tao Yong, chief physician of the Ophthalmology Department of Beijing Chaoyang Hospital affiliated to the Capital Medical University, explained the knowledge related to eye care and eye care for netizens.

During the summer vacation, many students like to chase the drama and play games, stay up late to play mobile phones, etc. For a long time and close -up eyes, it is easy to cause excessive eyes, and also make the summer vacation that should have been relaxed. During the high incidence period, especially some parents believe that close vision surgery can solve the problem of myopia. In this regard, Tao Yong explicitly stated that true myopia is irreversible, especially the eyes have developed into high myopia. After the surgery, high myopia causes the risks of malignant complications such as retinal detachment and subconds of the retina.

Tao Yong analyzed that the eyes are often used at close range. The ciliary muscles have been shrinking. The crystal body has always been thickened. Over time, when the eyes are looking at the distance, the ciliary muscles cannot be relaxed, the crystals can be thinned, and the crystals will become thinner, so that the lens becomes thinner. As a result, objects in the distance can only appear in front of the retina. If the eyes are unclear, they will become myopia.

"If it is a pseudo -myopia, a lot of rest can be restored. Once it develops into a true myopia, the eye axis is that the length of the eyeball is stretched, and there is no way to reverse the current medical methods." Myopia surgery is only allowed to wear glasses, which is equivalent to putting glasses into the eyes, but the stretching of the eye shaft will not change, and the nature of myopia will not change.
