Abstract

Childhood vision is in the stage of development, and the incidence of ametropia is high. For special types of refractive abnormalities such as ultra-high myopia, ultra-high anisometropia and aphakia, conventional wearing of frame glasses can easily cause aberrations and peripheral visual deformations, affect the visual development of children, and even cause refractory amblyopia. In this article, the benefits of contact lenses are discussed from perspectives of ultra-high refractive error, refraction-related refractory amblyopia, and photosensitivity-related refractive error, so as to attract the attention of clinical physicians, expand the application scope of contact lens wear, give full play to the role of contact lenses, and improve the diagnosis and treatment of refractive abnormalities in children.

儿童期视功能处于发育阶段,屈光不正发生率较高。对于超高度近视眼、超高度屈光参差、无晶状体眼等特殊类型屈光异常,常规配戴框架眼镜治疗易造成像差和周边视物变形,影响患儿视功能发育,甚至导致难治性弱视。本文从接触镜治疗超高度屈光不正、屈光相关难治性弱视、光敏异常相关屈光不正3个方面,指出接触镜在儿童特殊类型屈光异常治疗中的优势,以期得到临床医师的关注,扩大接触镜的应用范围,充分发挥其作用,从而提高临床儿童屈光不正的诊疗水平。.
