Nature arranged a man's eyes so that he watched the distance more. BUT
we have been hundred and more vision to be more vision - for this and
Melt. Still around myopia is born new myths
and stereotypes. Comment on some we asked
Surgeon Ophthalmologist, Head Eye Clinic Fis Irina
Fedorov.
Myth number 1. The risk of developing myopia depends on nationality
This is reality. Although such a dependence is not always manifested. Population
planets can be divided into thin-skinned (this, for example, the Japanese and Arabs) and
Tolstoke people (they include Balts, Finns, Nenets, Yakuts). W
first from nature thin sclera, the risk of her stretching is higher, which means,
Myopia is developing more often. I think that in school, for example, in
Helsinki, shortly schoolchildren will be much less than in any
Japanese school. But still the development of the disease depends primarily not from
nationality, and from vision loads.
Myth number 2. Myopia can be cured with the help of special breathable exercise glasses that are very popular today
have a relationship. Therefore, eliminate myopia with
Exercise glasses are impossible. Another thing is that they help to remove
Eye tension with long work near. So myopia
Such points do not treat, but it really helps to remove fatigue.
Myth number 3. One of the ways to combat myopia is based on the use of pig tissues
This is reality. The method is called collagenoplasty. Special squirrel eye
Pigs - peeled collagen - genetically close to human fabrics.
Therefore, it is injected for the eyeball to strengthen the scler (outdoor
eye sheath). It can stop the progression of myopia. But
Now the modern artificial and modern artificial applies for collagen plasters
Materials.
Myth number 4. Solarness correction operations with
lasers (the most common and called - Lazik) can be done
Everyone, practically no restrictions
Absolute and relative contraindications to this operation. Absolute
- This is a number of diseases in which such an operation is at all
it is forbidden. Relative related to individual features
Patients.
weigh whether it is possible to do the operation. Much depends on degree
Defect: For example, at a high degree of myopia, risk increases
Complications. In addition, it is necessary to clearly understand: laser operations are made
only with stabilized myopia, that is, when the disease
Already stopped in development. And if the disease continues
progress, need quite different approaches to treatment.
Myth number 5. Scientists managed to create special intraocular glasses, which at a high degree of myopia are implanted directly into the eyes
Correcting the optics of the near. In myopia over 10 diopters
Points nor contact lenses provide a clear image. Then
In front of the lens, a tiny intraocular lens is placed, which
Fixes vision.
Myth number 6. Myopia can be cured by taking bioduds with blueberry content
And it really helps to feed the retina eye. But to treatment
myopia is nothing.
Myth number 7. Today I became a possible transplant of a donor eye to a person, like a heart or kidney
sclera, but not eye. Summary fibers going to the brain, not
Capable to recover. Today there is no method that
would allow them to revive.
Myth number 8. If the parents of the scarecricks, then the child will definitely inherit the myopia from them
metabolism and the structure of the eyeball that increase the risk
Development of myopia. Some people have a weak outdoor
Eye Apple Sheath (Scler). She can not hold the eye growth.
Work at the close distance (reading, letter, work at the computer)
contributes to this growth, and therefore develops myopia.
