傳統眼鏡或一般隱形眼鏡雖然能矯正近視、讓兒童看得清楚,但無法減緩近視的惡化。 

近視會隨著時間惡化 

由於近視的進展無法逆轉,因此及早介入治療、減緩近視加深至關重要。1 使用這個模擬器來了解,如果孩子的近視未經治療,他的視力隨時間可能會發生怎樣的變化。 

及早辨識近視症狀

即使孩子沒有抱怨視力模糊,下列症狀也可能是近視的徵兆,應與眼科專業人員討論。

瞇眼

過度眨眼

閱讀時將書本或平板拿得非常近

經常揉眼睛

頭痛

坐得離電視非常近

近視未及時治療的危險

近視無法逆轉,而且通常年紀較小的兒童一旦發生即會快速惡化。及早留意到症狀並讓孩子接受治療非常重要。1

除了影響兒童日常活動的參與之外,3-8 未治療的近視還會增加未來罹患威脅視力的疾病風險,包括視網膜剝離、近視性黃斑部病變、青光眼以及白內障。9-12
