Treatment with the use of the buffer must be done until the age of 8.
If not used the right way, the child may lose sight in one eye.
To identify the abnormal signals in vision can help diagnose problems such as strabismus, keratoconus and astigmatism.
Ophthalmologists Samir Nero and Fabio Bechara and pediatrician Ana Escobar to explain what these diseases and how to treat them.
It is important to monitor eye health to avoid more serious complications, such as blindness. In the case of strabismus, for example, if untreated, can cause irreversible vision loss in the eye squint. Therefore, it is important to diagnose and treat as soon as possible.
To see well, the eyes should be focused on the same attachment point. Thus, the brain joins the images captured by two eyes and play as one. In the case of squint that sees less sense of depth, the brain interprets an image just because it "ignores" the image received by the eye to the problem. So it is important to stimulate the eye using this buffer in the eye without deviation.
Strabismus may appear by genetic inheritance at birth or early in life. One of the signs that can help identify the strabismus is if the person can not watch movies in 3D, as shown by the pediatrician Ana Escobar.
Doctors recommend the use of buffer in healthy eye during childhood to stimulate the eye squint. But there is a time for this learning function which vai the first months of life until the age of eight. After that time, if the eye squint has not been stimulated in the right way and recommended by the doctor, the child may become blind in one eye.
The treatment done well with the cap can not put the eye back into place, but develops the vision. In this context, the patient can do the surgery, but only for aesthetic reasons. In some cases, the problem is corrected with the use of eye glasses and tries to divert and correct the grade. But when the person takes off his glasses, comes back squint.
Astigmatism and Keratoconus
Astigmatism is an error of refraction, like myopia and hyperopia, and has a genetic origin. Who has this problem, has the cornea or the crystalline lens in an irregular shape that makes the light refracting several points of the retina causes loss of vision for distance and near, besides photophobia and glare.
There is also the keratoconus which deforms the cornea. Typically, people with keratoconus has high degree of astigmatism. To detect this disease, is done in the doctor examining the topography of vision. Usually appears in adolescence, between 13 and 18 years of age.
In 70% of cases, keratoconus does not develop as to require intervention other than the hard lenses or glasses.
In mild cases, the best use of this lens fills the eye and neutralizes the deformity of the cornea.
Who suffers from this problem should avoid rubbing your eyes because that can further deform the cornea.
Contact lenses
The Welfare also showed how to care for contact lenses. The first rule is important and applies to many other situations: always wash your hands when handling the lenses.
To sanitize them, experts recommend always using special liquid serum because it has no preservatives and detergents specifically designed to eliminate some bacteria.
Time to clean, you must rub the lens in the palm where to put it or withdraw it, especially women who wear makeup.
If it is difficult to put it, or hurt the eye turns red, do not force and seek an ophthalmologist. He will check if the lens is in the correct grade and is well suited to the eye.
It is also important to respect the maximum daily use of the lens of 10 to 12 hours and never sleep with them. Doctors warn that improper use of contact lenses can cause serious problems such as corneal ulcers and even blindness.
