Early control of myopia progression in children
Hong Kong has one of the highest rates of myopia in the world, with data from the Department of Health showing that about 18.3% of Hong Kong children are already myopic by the age of 6, 62% of them have myopia at the age of 12 after primary school, and 90% of them have myopia during university.
CCTV EYE CENTRE HAS PARTICIPATED IN THE NATIONAL KEY RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT PROJECT, AND THE CHILDREN'S AI MYOPIA CONTROL PROGRAM HAS BEEN VERIFIED IN 129,242 ADOLESCENT POPULATIONS, WITH A PREDICTION ACCURACY RATE OF MORE THAN 80%, PROVIDING ASSISTANCE FOR EARLY WARNING OF MYOPIA AMONG ADOLESCENTS.

How to help parents control myopia in children?
THE PURPOSE OF THE "AI MYOPIA CONTROL PROGRAMME FOR CHILDREN" IS TO SLOW DOWN THE PROGRESSION OF MYOPIA IN CHILDREN, AS PEOPLE WITH DEEP MYOPIA HAVE A HIGHER CHANCE OF SUFFERING FROM EYE DISEASES IN THE FUTURE, PARENTS SHOULD EDUCATE CHILDREN TO ESTABLISH GOOD EYE CARE HABITS FROM AN EARLY AGE TO AVOID CHILDREN WHO MAY BECOME DEEP MYOPIA (ABOVE 600 DEGREES) WHEN THEY GROW UP.
In general, the ideal rate of myopia progression for children is to increase by less than 50 degrees per year. If a child increases myopia by 100 degrees per year, it is considered to be progressing rapidly, so treatment is recommended.
PARENTS CAN ACCURATELY PREDICT THEIR CHILDREN'S FUTURE MYOPIA CHANGES THROUGH THE "AI INTELLIGENT PLATFORM FOR MYOPIA CONTROL IN CHILDREN", AND THE PREDICTION RESULTS CAN BE INTELLIGENTLY ANALYZED THROUGH THE BIG DATA OF THIS AI PLATFORM, SO THAT PARENTS CAN OBSERVE THE CHANGES IN THE REFRACTIVE ERROR PERFORMANCE OF THEIR CHILDREN AT DIFFERENT AGES ACCORDING TO THE PREDICTION REPORT (PARENTS CAN SEE THIS AS THE "REFRACTIVE DEVELOPMENT FILE"). BASED ON THE FORECAST REPORT, THE OPHTHALMOLOGIST WILL ALSO ANALYZE THE CURRENT MYOPIA SITUATION OF THE CHILDREN FOR PARENTS IN DETAIL, COMPARE THE NORMAL REFRACTIVE PERFORMANCE OF THE SAME AGE GROUP, AND FORMULATE PERSONALIZED MYOPIA TREATMENT PLANS.
AI MYOPIA CONTROL PROGRAM FOR CHILDREN DETAILS INCLUDE:
Prediction of myopia in the next 3 years through artificial intelligence and big data analysis
Parents can use the myopia growth chart to understand the development of myopia in their children at each age
What are the ways to control myopia in children?
Low-concentration atropine eye drops | DEFOCUSING LENSES (DIMS) | ORTHOKERATOLOGY CONTACT LENS (OK LENS) | |
|---|---|---|---|
Provide units | Ophthalmologist prescription | Optometrist fitting | Optometrist fitting |
Research units | Chinese University | Polytechnic University | Polytechnic University |
principle | Slows eye lengthening | Optical defocus, suppressing eye length | Wear at night to apply pressure to the cornea, Change the state of the cornea and reduce myopia |
Age-appropriate | 3 years of age until development is complete | 6 years old and older | 8 years old and above |
Degree of fit | Any degree | Myopia does not exceed 650 degrees Astigmatism does not exceed 400 degrees | Myopia does not exceed 600 degrees |
advantage | One drop per night for easy use No preservatives, few side effects Individually packaged, safe and hygienic | No contact lenses are required | No glasses during the day |
Side effects/disadvantages | Side effects are minimal | It can only be used as an adjunctive therapy. Not first-line treatment | It is difficult to wear for children unconsciously trolling your eyes during sleep, There is a chance that the cornea can be damaged or infected |
effect | Slowed down in 1 year 67% myopia | Slowed down in 2 years 52% myopia | Slow down the eyeballs Elongated by 43% |
How to improve the degree of presbyopia?
Presbyopia is a natural age-related phenomenon of aging, and it is due to the eyeballs
