What is the difference between online opticianry and medical opticianry?

Many people have this misunderstanding: if they have poor vision and myopia, they only need a computer eye test form and get glasses according to the degree of computer eye test. As a result, they always feel dizzy, have eye pain, eye swelling and other discomforts after wearing the new glasses. This may be a sign that the eye test is inaccurate.

Rather than simply doing computer optometry, it is recommended to first undergo medical optometry after developing myopia and before getting glasses.

Why Medical Optometry?

First of all, vision loss is not limited to myopia. Amblyopia, strabismus, congenital cataracts, etc. may all lead to vision loss. Medical optometry can first conduct a detailed examination of the eyes. After excluding other eye diseases, the doctor will combine the refractive state, eye position, accommodation, visual function, eye habits and other diagnostic indicators to give a scientific optometry prescription.

Secondly, a more systematic and complete medical optometry examination can not only make the optometry reading more accurate, but also allow you to see clearly and comfortably after fitting glasses.

Zhao Zhaoxia, deputy director of the Aier Eye Hospital affiliated to Henan University (Henan Headquarters of Aier Eye Hospital Group), said: For teenagers and children, regular medical eye examinations can prevent myopia from getting worse, understand the trend of myopia changes, and make timely and scientific corrections to avoid the development of high myopia and pathological myopia.
