The child is nearsighted and wears glasses for the first time

What can parents do better?


A Optometry is a small matter, just find an optical shop

B Go to a professional eye hospital for a detailed examination before dispensing glasses


Select A's parent

I have to say that the heart is a bit big

After all, professional medical optometry

It's not just as simple as matching glasses to children

Unbelief? Take you to immerse yourself in the whole process of medical optometry



Medical optometry is very different


General medical optometry: focuses on correcting vision, including insertion refraction and computer refraction, and the examination methods and equipment are relatively simple.


Ordinary optometry may cause:

● Pseudomyopia is regarded as true myopia glasses, resulting in the myopia degree cannot be reversed

● Inaccurate refraction of true myopia, resulting in overcorrection

● Some hidden functional eye diseases (such as amblyopia, etc.) cannot be detected in time


Professional medical optometry: In accordance with the rigorous medical optometry process, a number of visual examinations are carried out, the causes of poor vision are investigated, and scientific optometry prescriptions are issued before medical glasses are dispensed.


In Dongguan Aier Eye Hospital

What are the medical optometry examinations checked?

Let's experience them one by one


Computed optometry


Get a preliminary understanding of the causes of eye vision loss, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism.



Visual exams


Measuring unaided visual acuity and distance and near vision after wearing glasses is the first step in visual acuity examination to understand the basic visual acuity of the eye.



Biomeasuring instrument examination


By measuring the length of the eye axis and corneal curvature, we can understand the causes of myopia and the development of myopia.



Doctor consultation


The doctor checks the health of the ocular surface, whether there is strabismus and whether the eye position is normal, and recommends the next step of examination items according to the specific situation.



Intraocular pressure check before mydriasis


Improve intraocular pressure checks.



Dilated pupils


Dilated eye drops are used to paralyze the ciliary muscle and relax eye adjustment, so as to obtain accurate refractive power, and dilated eye refraction is the "gold standard" for distinguishing true and false myopia.



Computed refraction after dilation


Through small pupil refraction, dilated pupil refraction, visual function test and try-on, the patient's accuracy is obtained.



Oberg's eye under the eye

Detect fundus health.



Personalized myopia prevention and control plans


Establish a refractive development file to record the child's eye axis, corneal curvature, refractive status, etc., and closely track the child's visual health development; Based on the results of the medical optometry examination, the doctor proposes a myopia prevention and control plan, and prescribes glasses and prescriptions.



Professional medical optometry

It's not just about measuring your child's myopia

At the same time, it can also be through the child

subjective power, axial length, corneal curvature and visual function, etc

to comprehensively judge the accuracy of photometry


Dongguan Aier Eye Hospital reminds you

To prevent and control myopia in children, these measures are indispensable!


Establish a refractive development file to prevent myopia from an early age


When children are 3-6 years old, go to a professional eye hospital for a professional eye health examination and establish a refractive development file.

Through scientific means, we can predict whether children will have myopia, astigmatism, farsightedness, strabismus, etc., and take effective measures.


Methods are very important for scientific prevention and control of myopia


According to the child's examination results and eye habits, scientific glasses, such as OK lenses, defocused RGP, etc., can slow down the growth of myopia.

As the gatekeeper of children's myopia prevention and control, it is more important for parents to pay attention to their children's daily life, and only by combining scientific eye habits with correct correction methods can we achieve good myopia control results.


Give your child a good pair of glasses

The first thing that many parents think of is

Lens material, frame quality, brand, etc

But in fact, the first step we really need to do is to do it

Find a professional ophthalmologist and give professional glasses advice!
