Facing the doubtful looks from everyone, Zhang Bin explained with a smile.
“Now that we have fully understood the causes of myopia, can we treat it accordingly based on its pathogenesis?
We know that the light entering the eyeball is not focused on the retina, which is called refractive error. If the focus point is in front of the retina, it is called myopia, and if it is focused beyond the retina, it forms hyperopia. The same is true for strabismus.
Astigmatism, etc.
The cause of these symptoms is that our eyeballs have deformed, causing their original accurate focal length to deviate.
There are many causes of refractive error, among which myopia has the highest incidence rate. Regarding myopia treatment technology, we have formed a very complete technical system.
For example, optical lenses, that is, the glasses we wear, adjust the focal length of the light entering the eyes by correcting the light so that it can be accurately projected onto the retina, allowing us to see objects clearly.
If you feel that these glasses are ugly and inconvenient, you can wear some contact lenses, which are what we usually call contact lenses. These contact lenses can stay inside the glasses and stick close to the cornea. Normally they cannot be seen.
It can meet the needs of some people who love beauty. It is also more convenient to wear and use some scientific instruments. Even some orthokeratology lenses can also alleviate the growth of myopia.
If you don’t like wearing glasses, you can also do some corrective surgery. This type of vision correction surgery has been carried out for decades, and it is very reliable in terms of technology and safety.
Usually this type of myopia correction surgery is divided into two methods: laser femtosecond cutting and lens implantation. Laser femtosecond cutting actually cuts the cornea and reshapes the cornea of the eye so that the light entering the eye can be accurately focused on the retina.
.
Of course, this type of surgery also has certain limitations. For example, some myopic patients have thin corneas and are not suitable for this type of laser femtosecond cutting surgery. So scientists have developed a lens implantation surgery based on this.
.Compared with corneal incision surgery, vigilant implant correction surgery is safer and reversible.
To put it simply, this type of surgery is to implant a lens adapted to the patient's prescription under the patient's cornea, which is equivalent to implanting a small contact lens into the eye. In this case, there is no need to cut the cornea and there is no need to worry about it.
Some dry eye syndrome, infection and other problems after laser femtosecond surgery.
Moreover, the implanted lens can be replaced in a timely manner according to the patient's prescription growth, which is an effect that some laser femtosecond cutting surgeries cannot achieve."
Speaking of this, Zhang Bin paused for a moment, glanced at everyone, and then changed his tone and continued: "However, no matter which method is used, they cannot cure myopia. It can only be said that these technologies are used to allow myopic patients to see.
Clear objects to achieve the purpose of vision correction.
But in fact, myopia has always existed and is developing. Currently, there is no way to completely cure myopia.
Although with the continuous development of medicine in recent years, some researchers have begun to try to treat myopia with some drugs and have achieved some results, but they have not been recognized by most doctors and patients. Generally speaking, it is still in the experimental stage.
.”
"After talking so much, we have already understood that the fundamental to completely treating myopia lies in how to restore our deformed eyeballs to their original appearance. This can be said to be a topic that everyone is studying.
But we all know that it is difficult to restore damaged and deformed organs to their original state. The current level of medicine can only treat and cure the disease, but it is difficult to restore the organs and tissues that have been infected and destroyed by the disease.
The same goes for the eyes, and they are the most fragile organ in our human body, so it is very difficult to treat. In addition, the current vision correction technology is relatively mature, so not many people are willing to continue research on this area.
But in our opinion, precisely because it is difficult and has a relatively high entry barrier. In addition, there are currently relatively few studies on it, so this is exactly our opportunity.
If we can overcome this problem and develop a relatively mature myopia cure technology that can be commercialized, then we will be able to gain a huge medical commercial market.
Let’s not talk about the whole world, just talk about domestically, we can have a huge market of 600 million people. I wonder what kind of products can occupy a huge market of 600 million people in China at once.”
After listening to Zhang Bin's words, everyone at the scene also started talking. They were obviously shocked by the big cake that Zhang Bin drew. They were also very interested in this technology, especially some myopic employees wearing glasses.
, his eyes showed even more passion and excitement.
If this technology is developed and applied at once, then as internal personnel of the company, will they have the advantage of prioritizing reservations and queuing for use?
"I think you are not suitable for scientific research. You can definitely be responsible for market operations." Wu Hao smiled at Zhang Bin and joked, and then said: "Stop painting the pie and talk about the technology itself."
Hearing Wu Hao's words, Zhang Bin nodded with a smile and said: "Our scientific research team has analyzed hundreds of pairs of eyes and generated a very detailed digital biological model.
Through this set of digital biological models and artificial intelligence algorithms, we can simulate and calculate the occurrence, development and evolution of myopia in our eyes.
Then, we convert some treatment methods into algorithms and input them, and then perform calculations to see the effect on deformed myopic eyes, which is what we call the efficacy, and focus on the changes in the eyes and surroundings.
Through calculation, we found that the eye muscles around our eyes play a very large role in the movement and changes of the eyeballs.
During our calculation and simulation process, we found that a large part of the cause of myopia comes from excessive eye use. The eye muscles do not get sufficient rest and are always in the process of congestion and tension. Over time, this leads to damage to the eye muscles.
relaxation.
At the same time, excessive eye fatigue, eye congestion and other reasons can cause excessive intraocular pressure in the eyeball. In addition, the eye muscles that control the fixation of the eyeball are damaged and relaxed, and the pulling force is reduced. Naturally, it is impossible to suppress the increase in intraocular pressure in the eyeball.
The large size causes eyeball deformation, thus forming refractive errors, leading to myopia, hyperopia, strabismus, astigmatism and other diseases.”
