Will myopia increase the more I wear glasses?

Some people in life have myopia, but they are unwilling to wear glasses because many people have such a misunderstanding that once they wear glasses, the degree of myopia will become higher and higher. In fact, this understanding is wrong. As long as everyone wears glasses reasonably and has good eye habits, myopia glasses will not cause the degree of eyes to increase, and may even help protect eyesight.

Will myopia increase the more I wear glasses?

Experts say

This is a misunderstanding. If a child has true myopia, wearing appropriate glasses will not cause the myopia to worsen.

Myopia should be promptly matched with glasses

Most myopia is caused by children’s unhealthy eye habits, which leads to vision loss over time.

Wearing the right glasses will not make your myopia worse.

In daily life, children need to go to the hospital regularly for formal mydriasis eye examinations and pay attention to changes in their vision at any time.

Wearing glasses is more conducive to degree control

If a child does not wear glasses after becoming myopic, or wears inappropriate glasses, the child's myopia may gradually worsen.

On the contrary, if children wear appropriate glasses in time after becoming myopic and develop good eye habits and eye hygiene, the degree of myopia can be well controlled.

Strictly speaking, people with myopia of less than 200 degrees do not need to wear glasses when walking. They can be worn temporarily when using their eyes normally.

But if the degree is over 200, it is better to wear it regularly, which is good for the eyes. The way to control the increase of degree is to reduce the time spent

Excessive use of eyes at close range.

For example, a person with 300-degree myopia can see objects one foot away most clearly without adjustment. However, to see distant objects, he needs to wear myopia glasses with minus 300 degrees (note that it is minus 300 degrees, in fact, the degrees of myopia glasses are all negative values). But when you put on your myopic glasses and look at things one foot away, problems arise! The degree of the eyes and the degree of the myopia glasses cancel each other out and become zero. In order to see clearly, the eyes must adjust 300 degrees on the basis of the original degree to see clearly, so it becomes 600 degrees. If you wear glasses for a long time to see close objects, it will further deepen your myopia.

Wearing suitable glasses, although it cannot completely cure refractive errors, will not damage the eyes. Wearing suitable glasses can correct the deficiencies of the eyes, improve vision, be beneficial to the eyes, and be beneficial to work and study, and will not cause refractive errors to develop. As for some patients whose refractive errors do develop after wearing glasses, for a few people it may be because the glasses they wear are inappropriate, but for most people it is closely related to whether the myopic patients can use their eyes reasonably. If you still do not take care of your eyes or do not know how to use your eyes scientifically after wearing suitable glasses, myopia may still continue to develop, but it is not due to the wearing of glasses. Therefore, after wearing glasses, you still need to pay attention to the rational use of your eyes to try to prevent its development.
