青年近視

童年時期的近視通常在18至21歲之間停止發展。在這個年齡,您的青年孩子的眼睛可能會保持相同或相似的處方,但是,大約40%的年輕人的度數還是會在20歲間改變。即使您的孩子在整個童年時期都有完好的視力,近視還是可以在成年初期發展,通常由環境因素(例如過多的近距離工作或不足夠的戶外時間)導致。

讓我們看一下青年近視,及如何以最大程度地減少病情進展。

青年近視症狀。

青年會意識到自己的視力發的生任何變化,並可以自己預約眼睛測試以檢查其症狀。

青年近視的一些常見症狀包括:

  • 投訴視力模糊
  • 將物體拿得非常靠近他們的臉
  • 坐得離屏幕非常近
  • 斜視或閉上一隻眼睛以看到更好
  • 經常揉眼睛
  • 頻密眨眼
  • 淚溢
  • 經常頭痛

如果有這些症狀,或者您的青年孩子提到他們正在努力看清楚遠處的事物或閱讀跡象,請鼓勵他們與眼科視光師預約,尤其他們需要開車。

管理青年近視

雖然很難管理青年的生活,尤其是他們已離開家,需要要確保他們意識到近視的原因和併發症。

近視青年將需要配戴眼鏡或隱形眼鏡才能看清楚。標準類型的眼鏡和隱形眼鏡會矯正其遠距離視覺模糊,但不會減慢近視的惡化。儘管可以使用特殊類型的眼鏡和隱形眼鏡,既可以正確視力,又具有降低近視發展的特定能力,但對於青年的有效性,幾乎沒有科學證據。已顯示阿托品眼滴在兒童和青少年中會減緩近視的進展,但在青年中沒有證據表明這一點。

對於近視持續增加的青年,他們的眼科視光師可以討論這些特殊類型的眼鏡或隱形眼鏡的適合性。對於患有穩定近視的青年,需要定期進行眼部護理檢查以監測病情,檢查當前的處方是否合適,並檢查眼睛的健康狀況。
