Medical Video: Problems With Thick Eyeglasses : Eyeglasses Basics
Many people often take off their glasses even though they have minus eyes and have difficulty seeing long distances. Maybe because they don't feel comfortable with a less eye-catching design, no confidence, or just more comfortable doing activities without glasses. Others may often drop glasses because they believe in rumors that this habit can cure eye minus. This is also triggered by the fact that many people have been wearing glasses for a long time, but minus they continue to grow every year.
However, is it true that the glasses often make eyes less cured?
Why can it be difficult for eyes to see long distances (minus eyes)?
The minus eye or nearsightedness is called myopia occurs due to an eyeball that is too long or the cornea is curved too steeply. This makes the light that should fall right on the retina precisely in front of the retina of the eye.
The received light will stimulate the nerves of the eye to process it into electrical signals that will be sent to the brain so that we can see the image. However, because the light falls in front of the retina, the nerve cells of the eye cannot process it properly so that objects that are far away will appear blurry or appear blurred.
In addition to blurred vision, minus eyes also generally make the eyes feel sore and tired until the headache.
Often removing glasses can cure minus eyes?
Wearing glasses can help provide clearer vision. However, many people who often take off their glasses because they say getting used to not wearing glasses can cure their minus eyes.
Reporting from Detik Health, Dr. Syumarti, SpM (K), MSc, CEH, Head of Medical Services at Cicendo Eye Hospital, Bandung, emphasized that frequent release of glasses would not cure minus eyes. Minus eyes will not be affected by how often you take off or wear your glasses. Continuing to wear glasses will not add to the minus, as will the release of glasses that will not improve your vision.
Feeling uncomfortable wearing glasses or a sensation of vision that is still blurry even though you have been wearing glasses for a long time, maybe because you are prescribing the wrong glasses. When calculating the lens just slightly missed one-two degrees, you will get glasses that are opaque, causing the vision to blur.
Blurry vision can also occur when you adjust to glasses that have accurate recipes. Blurred vision during the adjustment of prescription new glasses generally lasts for a week or two at the most.
If your vision doesn't improve afterwards, it's possible that you have the wrong prescription or the lens of your glasses doesn't match what is prescribed. If you close your eyes and feel that your vision is still blurred, then prescribing your glasses is not right. The same is true if you have frequent headaches or dizziness due to excessive tension in the eye muscles. The sign is that your prescription glasses are not what they should be.
In addition, eyesight also deteriorates naturally with age. The minus eye condition since childhood will worsen over time and will be more stable when they are 18 to 40 years old. However, many eye conditions, including myopia (nearsightedness), deteriorate by itself over time - whether it is assisted with or without glasses.
In other words, if you complain about the more difficult to see the writing on the billboard 100 meters in front of you without glasses, because that's the process. Sooner or later, like it or not, you will experience it and there is not much you can do about this natural aging process.
Then, is there a way to cure minus eyes?
There is no truly effective treatment for healing minus eyes, but you can undergo LASIK to correct the shape of the cornea so that the incoming light can focus right on the retina. After LASIK, you no longer need to wear glasses or contact lenses.
The most important thing if you have a minus eye is to always check your eye health and condition. Glasses with prescription lenses that are not suitable can aggravate the eyes.
In addition, some bad habits that you often do, like playing too long the game or playing computer, reading in the dark, watching TV too close must also be stopped because it can make the eyes minus increase.
