Choosing a lens suitable for children requires a comprehensive consideration of children’s vision, eye habits, age and other factors. The following are some key points:
Select according to vision condition
Single-light lenses: If the child is simply nearsighted or far-sighted, and there are no other complex vision problems, single-light lenses are the basic choice. It can accurately correct the degree of myopia or farsightedness of the child, so that the child can get clear vision. For example, children with mild myopia who wear a single lens with the right degree can see distant objects more clearly, helping them to see the words on the blackboard in school.
Progressive multi-focus lenses: For children with rapid myopia development and myopia prevention and control needs, progressive multi-focus lenses are more suitable. This lens has a number of different degree areas on the same lens, the upper part for looking far, the lower part for looking near, and the middle part is the transition area. It can reduce the adjustment burden of the eyes when the child looks near to a certain extent, alleviate visual fatigue, and thus play a certain control role in the development of myopia. However, it takes some time for children to get used to this lens, and there are certain requirements for eye habits, and they need to be worn and used correctly to achieve the best results.
Consider it in conjunction with eye habits
Anti-fatigue lenses: If the child’s daily learning tasks are heavy, need to use the eyes for a long time, such as reading, doing homework, or often use electronic devices, anti-fatigue lenses are a good choice. Through special optical design, it reduces the amplitude and frequency of eye adjustment when looking at close objects, thus alleviating eye fatigue. This allows the child to use the eyes for a long time, the eyes feel relatively comfortable, reducing the risk of vision loss caused by excessive use of the eyes.
Anti-blue lenses: In today’s digital age, children have more opportunities to contact electronic screens. Anti-blue lenses can filter out some harmful blue light and reduce the damage of blue light to the retina of the eye. However, for younger children, they can not completely rely on anti-blue light lenses, or to control the eye time and maintain good eye habits. Also, not all blue light is bad for your eyes, and high-quality anti-blue lenses will filter out harmful blue light while retaining blue light components that are good for your eyes.
Consider the age of the child
Young children: For kindergarten and primary school children, their eyes are still in the stage of rapid development, and the amount of activity is larger, more lively and active. At this time, you can choose a lens with better impact resistance, such as PC lenses. PC lens material light, strong impact resistance, even if the child accidentally fall or glasses by collision, can better protect the eyes, reduce the risk of injury. At the same time, if children in this age group have problems such as farsightedness and astigmatism, they need to be corrected in time, and choose the right lenses to help their eyes develop normally and prevent the occurrence of problems such as amblyopia.
Older children: As children grow older, to the upper primary school and middle school stage, their eye needs and habits will change, learning pressure increases, and the incidence of myopia may also increase. If the child has myopia, in addition to paying attention to the correction degree of the lens, you can also consider lenses with myopia prevention and control function, such as the progressive multi-focus lenses mentioned above, or some special optical design of the lens, these lenses by changing the focus of light on the retina, to inhibit the growth of the eye axis, so as to control the development of myopia.
In addition, no matter what kind of lens is selected, it is necessary to ensure that the quality of the lens, including the optical center deviation of the lens, astigmatism axis deviation and other indicators meet national standards, so as to ensure the visual quality and eye health of children after wearing glasses. At the same time, it is necessary to regularly take children to professional institutions to check their eyesight, and adjust the lens degree in time according to changes in vision.
