Adolescence
How to get rid of myopia at 14? myopia canarise at any age and be even congenital, however, it begins to progress very quickly at the age of 11-14 - during the period of dynamic growth of the child. The earlier myopia began, the worse the diagnosis, that is, the greater its magnitude will be by the age of 17. According to statistics, only 10% of babies do not develop myopia, the rest of the vision deteriorates rapidly - 1-2 diopters per year in some cases.
Result of treatment
How to get rid of myopia without surgery? Optometrists say that it is impossible to restore vision if myopia has already appeared. After all, what is myopia? This is an overgrowth of the eyeball. The baby is born with farsightedness, that is, with a "short eye", but as the body grows, so does the eye. Ideally, the reserve of farsightedness should be enough for the eye to stretch to standard values by the age of 16-18. But in an unfavorable environment, it grows extremely fast, and this is already the growth of myopia.
While the child is growing, myopia "grows" with him. You can try to slow down this process. It is precisely to prevent the complications of myopia and slow down its development that the treatment of adolescents is directed.
Correction of myopia in babies
The causes of myopia are not only harmful environmental factors, but also poor heredity, that is, myopia in parents. However, ophthalmologists have found that if children of nearsighted mothers or fathers 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 wearpoints continuously 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 your child is very active or plays sports and needs to wear glasses all the time, contact lenses may be worth considering. In general, ophthalmologists say that sitting behind books should be compensated by physical activity. Games, sports, walking and dancing - all this slows down the development of myopia. Important: usually the process of reviving vision consists in psychological self-hypnosis. And the speed of recovery depends entirely on the control of your consciousness.
