Does a child with astigmatism have to wear glasses?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Generally, astigmatism can be divided into many types. We recommend taking your child to the hospital for a detailed examination by a doctor. Based on your description, your child's astigmatism is actually correctable. We suggest you go to a regular hospital ophthalmology department for vision testing and glasses prescription as soon as possible to correct your vision. It is also important to pay special attention to the degree and axis of the glasses. As long as the correction is proper, the degree of the eyes will not continue to increase.
