DIGITAL DISPLAY INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF MYOPIA
- Nowadays, when myopia disorder is increasing in children and young people, more and more children and young people turn to ophthalmologists with the problem of not being able to see far away almost every day. Professor, an Expert in Eye Health and Diseases, gave information about the causes of myopia disorder and treatment methods at Antalya Eye Hospital in Turkey.
. - The high limit of myopia is considered by the World Health Organization to be myopia number 5 and above. An individual with high myopia is much more likely to develop cataracts, glaucoma, retinal tears/detachment, and yellow spot disease at an older age (this usually occurs over the age of 50). In fact, we have strong data that retinal rupture has increased 20-fold in this group and yellow spot disease has increased 40-fold. In this regard, we should try to ensure that our children are not short-sighted first, and if they are short-sighted, we should try to ensure that they do not have a rapid increase.
. - In addition to the familial predisposition, the impact of environmental risk factors on the occurrence of myopia is also great. According to studies, we know that children who spend more than 2 hours a day in front of the screen are more likely to be myopic.
. - Another risk factor is spending little time in a bright outdoor environment. It turned out that children and young people who spend at least 2 hours a day in the light of the outside environment are less likely to develop myopia.
.
THE IMPORTANCE OF FAMILIAL PREDISPOSITION IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF MYOPIA
- A child who has myopia in one of his parents has a 3-fold increase in the likelihood of being myopic. If both parents are short-sighted, this risk increases 6 times. If one or both of the parents is short-sighted, it is necessary not to disrupt the regular eye examinations of the children.
. - In order to slow down the increase in myopia, it is now being tried to prevent the problem of myopia in children by applying treatments such as glasses, lenses, or drops that are based on evidence and have been proven to work by studies.
