Visit to Kaohsiung Chang Gang Medical Hospital Myopia Center

Abstract：

Myopia control is important for preventing children myopia onset and progression. Because high myopia -5 diopter would induce complications associated blindness. Once children have myopia, it will progress -1 D per year and often become high myopia 5 year later. If a child come to our clinic in Kaohsiung Chang Gang Medical Hospital Myopia Center, he will receive cycloplegic refraction and correction examination to eliminate the pseudomyopia condition. We will have the baseline refraction status of the children and to classify his refraction as hyperopia, premyopia and myopia. For myopia control, we have pharmacologic and optic intervention including atropine, orthokeratology, bifocal soft contact lens and defocus incorporated multiple segments spectacles. For premyopia, increased time outdoors should be encourage and low concentration of atropine would be considered. Near work breaks, cram school and smartphone time control also should be noticed. Periodic monitoring the refraction change and medical compliance should be follow-up up to 18 years old.
