Teenage years
How to get rid of myopia in 14 years? Myopia can occur at any age and even be congenital, but it begins to progress very quickly at 11-14 years old - during the period of dynamic growth of the child. The earlier myopia started, the worse the diagnosis, that is, the greater its size will be by 17 years. According to statistics, only 10% of babies do not develop nearsightedness, while the rest of the eyesight deteriorates rapidly - 1-2 diopters per year in some cases.
Treatment outcome
How to get rid of myopia without surgery? Optometrists claim that it is impossible to restore vision if myopia has already appeared. After all, what is myopia? This is an excessive growth of the eyeball. The baby is born with farsightedness, that is, with a "short eye", but as the body grows, the eye grows. Ideally, the reserve of farsightedness should be enough so that the eye stretches to standard values by the age of 16-18. But under adverse conditions, it grows extremely rapidly, and this is the growth of myopia.
While the child is growing, myopia also “grows” with him. You can try to slow down this process. It is the prevention of complications of myopia and the slowing of its development that the healing of adolescents is directed.
Myopia correction in babies
The reasons for the development of myopia are not only harmful environmental factors, but also poor heredity, that is, myopia in parents. However, ophthalmologists have found that if the children of myopic moms or dads at 3-4 years old pick up special "plus" glasses, the development of the disease can be prevented. The only condition here is that the child must wear glasses incessantly until the end of the growth period.
Myopia must be corrected, because even with a small "minus" the child feels discomfort. European ophthalmologists advise correcting even a quarter of the diopter. In Russia, a correction is prescribed for myopia of more than 1 diopter.
If the child is very active or is involved in sports, and the glasses need to be worn incessantly, you may need to think about contact lenses. In general, oculists argue that sitting behind books should be compensated for by motor activity. Games, sports, walking and dancing - all this slows down the development of myopia. Important: usually the process of reviving vision is a psychological auto-suggestion. And the speed of recovery completely depends on the possession of your consciousness.
