[Health Channel/Comprehensive Report] If there is a false degree of myopia, does it mean that it is very close to the real myopia?

Lin Yuhao, a physician at Hexin Optometry and Ophthalmology Clinic, said that in fact, as long as the degree of pupil dilation is used as a standard, you can know whether you are short-sighted. Relax naturally, and quickly develop good eye habits, otherwise, if it continues, you will really be short-sighted. Therefore, parents should pay attention to eye habits in addition to the degree.

Lin Yuhao posted on the Facebook fan page "Eyes Friends - Hexin Vision Eye Clinic" that pseudo-myopia refers to myopia before mydriasis (relaxation of the ciliary muscle), and hyperopia (no degree of myopia) after mydriasis. , that is, the data measured by the refraction before mydriasis, which is easy to cause misjudgment.

Lin Yuhao explained that the difference between pseudo-myopia and hyperopia is the result of optometry before and after mydriasis, because young eyes have a strong ability to adjust, and children's long-term use of their eyes at close range causes the ciliary muscle to tighten, making the degree of myopia appear. , may also cause vision loss, eye fatigue and discomfort.
