眼屈光不正00On April 18, 2020April 18, 2020By adminIn Eyecare, Healthcare 眼屈光不正(Refractive error),是指因眼球形狀而让光无法成功聚焦在视网膜上的问题。常见的典型眼屈光不正有近视、远视、散光和老花眼等。 近視(Near-sightedness, myopia, short-sightedness) ,近视是因為眼球长度過长,指眼睛视觉成像未能聚焦於视网膜上,而是聚焦於视网膜之前的情形。患者在目视远物会模糊,而视近物时相对清楚。严重的近视会增加视网膜剝離、白內障及青光眼的风险。 远视(Hypermetropia, Hyperopia)远视是因為眼球長度過短,是指平行光线经过眼的屈光介质在视网膜后聚焦的不正常屈光状态。这种眼的光学焦点在视网膜之后,因而在视网膜上所形成的像是模糊不清的,为了看清远处物体,要利用调节力量把视网膜后面的焦点移到视网膜上,故远视眼经常处在调节状态,易发生眼疲劳。 散光(Astigmatism),是眼睛的一种屈光不正常表现,与角膜的弧度有关。平行光线进入眼内后,由于眼球在不同子午线上屈光力不等,不能聚集于一点(焦点),也就不能形成清晰的物像,这种情况称为散光。 老花(Presbyopia),是人的眼睛老化的自然過程,晶状体逐渐硬化,再加上睫状肌力量的减弱,失去调节屈光度的能力。當人眼看近物時,眼球內投射過多光线於水晶体而非视网膜,导致不能对近物对焦的视力问题,患者在看近物時视物变得模糊。老花的症狀為太小字体有阅读困难、必須将读物拉远。
