Patient's question:
The child was born not long ago, and their eyes always tear up, and they always like to cry. How should myopia be handled?Doctor's answer:
Pseudo-myopia can be treated with mydriatics every night. If atropine is considered unsafe, short-acting options like tropicamide eye drops can be used instead, administered once a day with minimal side effects. After applying the medication, pressing on the lacrimal sac for 5-10 minutes can reduce systemic absorption and alleviate side effects.Since the causes of external eye diseases in children are diverse, it is essential to identify the underlying reasons before treatment to ensure targeted therapy for effectiveness. Additionally, daily care measures are indispensable. It is recommended to reduce the intake of spicy foods and consume more eye-protective foods.
