Myopia became more and more common today, and the method of myopic correction is also changing. "Innovation" makes some technologies becomes the pioneer of myopic correction (e.g., MCT technology). But no matter how myopia correction technology changed, there are still a lot of people let their children wear frame glasses directly after getting myopia, and this will delay the best time for myopia correction.
In fact, technologies need innovation, as well as ideas need revolutionary. If only think that myopia just need frame glasses, even the best myopic correction technology can´t help them. The technology innovation is the breakthrough of scientific research, and the ideological revolution is the transformation of ideas. Only the combination of these can change the big domestic myopic population base.
However, technological innovation is not a simple thing. First of all, the innovation is based on safety standards, and the second important thing is the perfect effect. Myopic correction technology is not exception. In the age of frame glasses, the appearance of traditional Orthokeratology Lens is the innovation in myopic correction. Its control ability to myopic development is better than frame glasses, but after the long term practice, traditional Orthokeratology lens shows its limitations: the risk caused by trial fitting which will bring complications and affect eye health.
The traditional Orthokeratology lens can well control the myopic development. This is its advantage. The completely abandon of traditional Orthokeratology lens means the negative of its advantages. If make breakthrough and innovation, and let it do not cause complications or greatly reduce the complications, millions of people will be benefited from this innovation.
For the innovation of traditional Orthokeratology, domestic and international eye optometry research centers and experts were full of expectation, and put it into practice, but didn´t succeed. Until 1998, after several years research, Shanghai Furen Ophthalmology Institute, Web Optometry Institute and other domestic and foreign ophthalmology and optometry units finally found the breakthrough:digital Orthokeratology and the clinical application of digitized MCT technology succeeded. The digitization not only changed the fate of traditional Orthokeratology lens, but also changed the fate of many people with myopia. Let´s to find out how can MCT technology break the limitations of traditional Orthokeratology technology, and create a new age for the digital technology!
We just said before that the limitations of traditional Orthokeratology lens is trial fitting try, and the assessment will cause the errors of lens parameters. The more the errors are, and the less the conformity between cornea and lens. So the key of innovation lies in the design of the lens parameters. How can we make the parameters correct and minimize the error, and design the perfectly lens patients? The answer is to use digital technology.
The digitization of MCT technology makes patients could do not need to do trial fitting. MCT technology firstly get the physiological function of eyes by the advanced topographic map , and by use digital technology, we get thousands of data from corneal surface and then according to the analysis, we finally get the parameters which is suited for the cornea. The high suitability of lenses, on the one hand can make the patient feel more comfortable when wearing the lens; On the other hand, it also can avoid the small friction caused by the lens, directly reduce or avoid the incidence of complications.
But, this is not the only innovation of MCT technology, and it also shows it advantage in the professional service, the combination of ophthalmology, optometry, TCM ophthalmology and Internal Medicine and also its high degree of safety.
In addition, the characteristics of the digitization can make MCT technology with more strong control ability. The safe and the concept of efficient innovation are full embodied on MCT technology.
Now, there are tens of thousands of juvenile myopia patients who correct myopia by MCT technology. But myopia is not the only treatment scope of MCT technology. MCT technology also has rectification effect to other poor vision problems. It is also the innovation of MCT technology.
First of all, MCT technology can solve the problem of high intraocular pressure. MCT lens is only need to be wear at night and can be taken off in morning, but still with good vision. The good naked eye vision during the day eliminates the tension of eye muscle, and relatively reduces intraocular pressure. The motive power which leads to myopia deepen is removed, and we effectively control the myopic development, prevent the emergence of high myopia. By raising the peripheral corneal, MCT lenses indirectly increase anterior chamber angle, promote aqueous humor flow, reduce the intraocular pressure, and guarantee the circulation of aqueous humor. MCT lenses greatly reduce the danger brought by high intraocular pressure!
Second, the application of MCT technology also can be used in pathological myopia and subclinical keratoconus. The increase of pathological myopia can be slow down through MCT technology. Subclinical keratoconus can be early differential diagnosed by MCT technology, and patients can win more time.
Then, MCT technology can handle the myopia over 1000 degrees, even some special patients. Fore example, 600 degrees astigmatism is also in its treatment range, but for traditional Orthokeratology lens, 200 degrees of astigmatism is the limitation.
Thanks to the breakthrough and the innovation of MCT technology breakthrough, it is trusted by people who are with bad vision and also gets the praise from our con MCT technology by visually impaired patients trust at the same time, also won the state. On June 2, at the great hall of the people, the original designer of MCT technology, Professor Wang get the title "2013 China excellent innovative entrepreneurs" at the fifth China Enterprise Innovation Day. Professor Wang said: "China Dream is dependent on the innovation and development, and only by the constantly innovation and breakthrough, we can finally reach the dream. MCT technology will continue it trip, and bring service and bright to more people.
In a word, innovation is only a word, but it is not easy. Only study like MCT technology, the breakthrough can be done. The choice of MCT technology is the choice of innovation and the choice of safety!
