Want to match glasses for children, which is better, to go to a hospital or an optical shop?

Children must go to the hospital for optometry, not to the optical shop.

Because children's eye adjustment is stronger than that of adults, it is necessary to relax the ciliary muscles with mydriatic liquid in order to obtain accurate optometry. Moreover, optical shops can't use mydriatic liquid medicine (otherwise it is illegal to practice medicine and heavy punishment is found).

The hospital has professional instruments to measure the axial length, intraocular pressure and cornea, which can comprehensively evaluate the eyeball condition and make it as close as possible to the objective examination results. Clinically, it is generally believed that people under 10 (whether wearing glasses for the first time or not) or 15 should go to the hospital for optometry and glasses.

Precautions:

1. It is an important step to comprehensively check the visual function of the eyes. Traditional optometry is only the most basic requirement. Medical optometry glasses developed by eye hospital are not only for checking the degree, but also for finding some eye diseases that teenagers are prone to.

2, optometry before glasses can know the most accurate refractive state at present. Moreover, the correct optometry is not only to determine the degree of myopia, but also to know astigmatism, pupil distance and other conditions.

3. At the same time, children under 16 need mydriasis for the first time, and they can optometry after mydriasis. The purpose of this is to avoid mistaking pseudomyopia for true myopia and make children's myopia come true.
