"Sophisticated," "demure," "elegant," and "suited and booted" are probably the first images we have of people who wear monocular.

From the end of the 19th century onwards, the monocular came to be seen in Europe as the most obvious identification of an upper-class man, along with the dress, the high hat, the cane, and the leather gloves.

To this day, with the advancement of prescription glasses, it is rare to see people wearing monoculars, but there are a few people who are one-eye nearsighted.

Reasons for the development of "one-eye myopia"

In addition to genetic factors, improper eye use is the direct cause of "monovision." Prolonged bad eye habits, such as staying up late to watch videos, reading novels, lying on your side to read your cell phone, and so on, these bad eye habits will lead to monocular myopia.

The dangers of "monocular myopia"

Myopia in one eye not only affects our vision, but for teenagers, it also affects the development of the eye.

Eyesight may decline faster

According to the principle of "use in, use out" of organs of living organisms, the eye with good eyesight is often used, and the eye with bad eyesight is gradually degraded due to infrequent use, resulting in poor eyesight in one eye getting worse and worse, and even affecting the loss of eyesight in both eyes.

May cause amblyopia/strabismus

For children and adolescents with developing visual function, if there is a large refractive difference between the two eyes, the eye with a small refractive error will see things more clearly, while the eye with a large refractive error will not see things clearly. If one eye is in a state of low and no operation for a long time, it will affect the brain's judgment of clear image imaging and then inhibit the poor vision of the eye work. This affects the development of visual function in the long term, leading to the formation of strabismus or amblyopic eyes.

How to correct "monocular nearsightedness"

Keratoconus surgery

If there is a big difference between the refractions of both eyes and monocular myopia has already caused a big impact on life and work, you can choose corneal refractive surgery to correct it. Nowadays, the common hand-to-be method is mainly divided into two categories: laser and ICL crystal; different patients are suitable for different situations, and you need to make the right choice according to the actual situation; only active correction is the right choice.

Wearing the right glasses

For monocular myopia, it can be corrected by wearing eyeglasses, which can effectively improve the visual impairment of monocular myopia. Of course, you can choose to wear glasses with a prescription in one eye and no prescription in the other eye so that after adjustment, it can be beneficial to alleviate myopia.
