Myopia treatment: glasses, lenses, laser?

Visual impairment in the sense of myopia, ie myopia, is corrected by scattering . What are prescription glasses , lenses, ie glasses or eye lenses that help move the pattern to the retina . Thus, one sees him sharply.

When prescribing the correct correction, the weakest one with which one sees best in the distance should be used. When evaluating the Snellen ototype, it is a value of 6/6. Problems such as headache, nausea and fatigue may occur when corrected.

Myopia can not be treated differently from temporary or permanent -  operational treatment . It cannot be treated conservatively or pharmacologically. It can be temporarily solved by using the right dioptric glasses . Whether one uses glasses or contact lenses, this is only a temporary solution and not a direct treatment for the cause but for the symptom.

Laser surgical solutions are most often used in modern medical methods . This is the so-called correction of myopia with LASIK / LASEK refractive lasers . . In this case, the person gets rid of the refractive error completely and permanently. The aim is to remove a few thousandths of a millimeter thick layer of the cornea, thus modifying its surface so that the cornea acts directly as a scattering lens.

In more severe forms, intraocular surgery is performed . For example, in progressive myopia , it is posterior scleroplasty . When the sclera is strengthened with the help of a dedicated material. Subsequently, it is also important to assess the risks of progression and choose a suitable job .

Early examination by a specialist is necessary to detect other causes of vision disorders. However, it is also important for early correction, either with glasses or lenses. Therefore, there is no reason to postpone the professional examination.
