Patient's question:
The baby is now five years old and has been diagnosed with high hypotropia, with a degree of hypotropia of 400 degrees. A pair of glasses has been prescribed, and under the condition of wearing these glasses, can the glasses be taken off in the future?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you mentioned, mild downgaze in a 5-year-old child is generally normal. It is recommended to go to the hospital for an examination to check for strabismus or amblyopia. Treatment can be considered later as the severity may decrease with age. If the vision is normal and there are no symptoms, no intervention is needed. If there are symptoms of visual fatigue or vision is already affected, appropriate convex lenses should be worn for correction. Children with more severe downgaze, especially those accompanied by esotropia, should be fitted with glasses as early as possible.
