안경 도수가 계속 올라가는 이유 (근시가 진행되는 진짜 원인)

 왜 안경 도수가 계속 올라갈까요?” 아이 안경을 맞춘 지 얼마 안 됐는데 👉 또 도수가 올라갔다면 많은 부모님들이 걱정하게 됩니다. 하지만 중요한 것은 👉 단순히 “나빠졌다”가 아니라 👉 왜 계속 나빠지는지 이해하는 것 입니다. 📌 근시는 왜 계속 진행될까? 근시는 👉 단순한 시력 문제가 아니라 👉 눈의 성장과 관련된 변화 입니다. 특히 성장기 아이는 👉 눈 길이(안축장)가 계속 길어지면서 👉 근시가 진행됩니다. 📌 1. 가장 큰 원인: 가까운 거리 작업 요즘 아이들은 👉 대부분 가까운 작업 시간이 많습니다. 스마트폰 태블릿 독서 공부 👉 가까운 거리를 오래 보면 👉 눈이 “가까운 환경에 적응”하게 됩니다. 그 결과 👉 근시 진행이 빨라질 수 있습니다 📌 2. 야외활동 부족 자연광은 👉 눈 성장 조절에 중요한 역할을 합니다. 하지만 실내 생활 증가 학원 중심 생활 👉 이로 인해 👉 근시 발생과 진행이 증가하고 있습니다. 👉 하루 2시간 이상의 야외활동이 👉 매우 중요합니다. 📌 3. 잘못된 생활습관 다음과 같은 습관은 👉 근시 진행을 빠르게 만들 수 있습니다. 책을 너무 가까이 보기 누워서 스마트폰 사용 어두운 환경에서 사용 장시간 휴식 없이 집중 👉 작은 습관이 👉 큰 차이를 만듭니다. 📌 4. 유전적 영향 부모가 근시인 경우 👉 아이도 근시일 확률이 높습니다. 하지만 👉 유전보다 환경 영향이 더 큽니다 👉 즉 👉 관리에 따라 충분히 조절 가능합니다. 📌 5. 근시 진행의 핵심 구조 👉 근시는 이렇게 진행됩니다 가까운 작업 증가 눈 길이 증가 초점이 앞으로 이동 시력 저하 안경 도수 증가 👉 이 과정이 반복됩니다. 📌 부모가 꼭 알아야 할 핵심 👉 안경 도수가 올라가는 것은 👉 단순 문제가 아닙니다 👉 근시가 진행되고 있다는 ...

What is Myosmart glasses?

 What is Myosmart glasses?

Myosmart glasses are specially designed glasses developed by HOYA Vision Care in collaboration with Hong Kong Science and Technology. They are used for myopia control, i.e. to help slow children's myopia progression.

How do Myosmart glasses work?
The MyoSmart lens uses a technique called DIMS (Defocus Incorporated Multiple Segments), which combines two optical areas.

Central Transparent Area – Corrects myopia for clear vision for children.
Treatment Zone (DIMS Technology) – The area surrounding the central zone is composed of several small defocus segments, which produce myopia defocus, which signals the eye to slow down its growth.
Excessive eye elongation is the main cause of myopia progression, so MyoSmart glasses help to control this elongation to reduce the speed of myopia progression.

Advantages of MyoSmart glasses
It slows myopia progress. Clinical studies have shown that MyoSmart lenses slow myopia progression by an average of 60% compared to regular lenses.
Non-invasive: Unlike eye drops (atrophins, etc.) and corneal correction (Ortho-K lenses), MyoSmart glasses do not require any special procedures.
It is safe and easy to use. It functions like regular glasses, making it easy for children to wear.
Anti-Shock Material: Made of polycarbonate, MyoSmart lenses are durable and safe for active children.
Reduce the risk of high myopia: slow myopia progression, helping to lower the risk of severe myopia and related eye diseases (e.g., retinal detachment, glaucoma).
Who can use MyoSmart glasses?
MyoSmart glasses are mainly recommended when.

Children and adolescents with advanced myopia (6-18 years old)
Children with a family history of nearsightedness are at higher risk of deteriorating nearsightedness.
A young patient who is not familiar with contact lenses or Ortho-K treatment.
Clinical Evidence and Effectiveness
A two-year clinical study published in 2019 found that the MyoSmart lens has the following effects.

It slowed myopia progression by 60% on average.
Axial eye elongation decreased by 60%.
The repulsive effect after discontinuation of use was only 0.18D, which was much lower than other myopia control treatments.
Comparison with other myopia control methods
Method Operation Principle Validity Advantages Disadvantages
Myosmart Glasses DIMS Technology (DeFocus Zone) ~60% Myopia Adjustment Non-invasive, safe and easy to use. Requires constant wear
Ortho-K lens Reform corneas overnight ~45–50% myopia adjustment No glasses required during the day Cleaning and adaptation required daily.
Atropin Eye Medicine Temporarily Slows Eye Growth 50 to 80% Myopia Control (Various) Easy to Use There may be side effects such as glare and sensitivity to light.
Cost and Availability
Myosmart glasses are available in ophthalmology and ophthalmology. Although the price varies from country to country, they are usually more expensive than regular glasses due to advanced lens technology.

conclusion
MyoSmart glasses are a proven, effective, and non-invasive option for controlling progression in children. When used properly, they can significantly reduce the risk of highly myopia and related eye problems in the future. If your child's myopia worsens, consulting an ophthalmologist about the MyoSmart lens can be a good decision.
