The Current Treatment Status and Prevention and Treatment of Myopia Surgery Under Current Medical Technology
In China,the age of onset of myopia is getting younger and younger,the incidence rate is getting wider and wider,and the proportion of high myopia is increasing year by year.As children increase in grade,the proportion of moderate to high myopia rapidly increases.The speed of myopia development is relatively fast,especially in the age range of 8-16,with an annual increase in myopia degree ranging from 75-200 degrees.Childhood is one of the critical periods for the development of myopia.At this stage,the eyes are developing rapidly,and prolonged close eye use may lead to myopia.In modern society,children often use electronic devices such as mobile phones,tablets,etc.for long periods of time and lack outdoor activity time.This behavior pattern can exacerbate the development of myopia in children.Therefore,in order to prevent myopia in children,parents should encourage their children to engage in outdoor activities,control the time of using electronic devices,and maintain good eye habits.Regular eye examinations and appropriate treatment and protection according to the doctor's advice are key to preventing the deterioration of myopia.For teenagers who are already nearsighted,surgery is mainly used to treat myopia,and the number of ICL surgeries has shown a significant increase from 2021 to 2023.The growth rate in 2023 compared to 2022 reached 37%.This growth trend indicates that the acceptance of ICL surgery among people with moderate to low myopia is increasing year by year.Myopia prevention and control has been elevated to a national strategic level,and multiple departments have taken multiple measures to actively guide myopia prevention and control work.
