Myopia in children may be cause by genetics that are inherit in the family. There may be some risk factors that trigger it, such as heavy eye use, using eyes in the dark, looking at mobile phone screens, which may affect vision and daily life. Parents should learn how to take care of and correct nearsightedness in their children.

Symptoms of myopia in children

  • Squinting to see more clearly
  • Eyes are tired and uncomfortable, have headaches, and cannot see the board clearly in the classroom.
  • Must sit close to the television or movie screen
  • The main symptom of nearsightedness is blurre vision when looking at distant objects. Other common symptoms include:
  • Importantly, if myopia occurs in only one eye while the other eye is normal, the child will not show any noticeable abnormalities. Therefore, eye examinations are important to prevent lazy eye in the future.

Mostly is cause by the genetics of the parents directly. When children are myopia, it will make them see distant images unclearly or the images they see may be blurry. But in addition to genetics, myopia can also occur when children use their eyes too carefully or too closely. Reading books, playing games on mobile phones or tablets too heavily can also cause myopia.

As you can see, there are many ways to slow down myopia. Many of them can be use together. Each method has different limitations and costs สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่. The response to each method is different. But the conclusion that has been reach at present is that wearing regular myopia glasses does not help slow down myopia. Wearing blue light filter glasses does not help slow down myopia.

And if you wear myopia glasses with a lower value than your vision value in order to expect children to wear them comfortably, the negative effect is that your myopia will increase faster and you will have to pay more.

The best way is when children and parents cooperate in slowing down myopia. Although it is not a quick result and takes years to follow up, we hope for long-term results, reducing the occurrence of various complications of severe myopia, such as retinal detachment, macular degeneration from myopia, and premature cataracts. LASIK does not reduce these complications, but is only done to avoid wearing glasses or contact lenses.
