Chinese and foreign ophthalmology experts gather in Shanghai to discuss "eye problems"

 

The three-day 14th International Conference on Ophthalmology and International Optometry concluded yesterday.

 

Experts and scholars from China, the United States, and some Asian and European countries gathered in Shanghai to discuss the new situation and new problems in the field of optometry.

 

According to an authoritative statistic, the prevalence of myopia in the U.S. population has increased by 20% compared with 30 years ago.

 

The rate of myopia in adolescents is about 40%.

 

In Asia, the incidence is 40% in primary school, 50-60% in junior high school, and 70-80% in high school.

 

The incidence of myopia in college students has reached 90%.

 

Myopia is characterized by early onset and high prevalence of high myopia.

 

Among the commonly used myopia control methods, the effectiveness of OK lenses is widely recognized by the medical community.

 

According to the statistics of EUCLID (Euclid) in the United States,

 

Its effective rate of controlling the progression of myopia can reach more than 50%.

 

Dr. Yu Qing, Director of the Department of Optometry at Shanghai Ruishi Eye Hospital, said:

 

"According to the clinical data of Ruishi Ophthalmology,

 

For adolescents in the growth and development period, more than two-thirds of the cases of wearing OK glasses can control the annual myopia growth within 50 degrees.

 

Indeed, it can effectively suppress the progression of myopia.

 

Yu Qing's suggestion is:

 

First of all, it is necessary to choose a brand (SDA) registered and certified by the National Medical Products Administration; Secondly, imported lenses must have their relevant production certificates.

 

For example, the specific number, test data, material name, and manufacturer's address should be indicated on the lens box; Third, there must be an after-sales guarantee

 

The fitting of OK lenses is not for everyone in one step, and for those who are not well fitted, they must adjust and replace the lenses.

 

In addition, be sure to develop good hygiene habits, take good care of your lenses as required, and choose care products with good cleaning effects.

 

Do not replace hard care products with soft care solutions and water.
