Patient's question:
My child is just 11 years old, and they already have myopia. One eye is -1.75, and the other is -2.75. I want to ask about the best treatment method. Is it necessary to wear glasses?Doctor's answer:
Dear Inquirer,According to the situation you described, in addition to wearing (myopia glasses), your child can also consider orthokeratology. This involves wearing a rigid, breathable contact lens before taking a nap at night and removing it after going to bed in the morning. It can maintain clear vision throughout the entire day without the need for glasses. It can also slow down the progression of myopia. The cost is higher, and on average, a new pair needs to be replaced every two years.
