Patient's question:
Child blinked frequently after pupil dilation during a school health check-up, but everything else was normal.Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None
Kind of help needed: Want to know why this is happening
Doctor's answer:
Astigmatism is a type of refractive error in the eye, related to the curvature of the cornea. Due to uneven thickness or curvature variations on the cornea, the refractive power of its meridians becomes inconsistent, causing light passing through these meridians to fail to converge at a single focal point. As a result, light cannot accurately focus on the retina to form a clear image, which is referred to as astigmatism. Currently, the primary method for correcting astigmatism is wearing glasses, with no better or safer alternatives available. The above suggestions are in response to the question "Why does a child keep blinking after dilation?" and are hoped to be helpful to you. Wishing you good health!
