Child is 5 years old, she said she sees things double, what's the matter?

Patient's question:

The child is 5 years old. She said she noticed that things appear double. She was taken to the county hospital's ophthalmology department for an examination. The vision was 0.6 in one eye and 0.5 in the other, along with mild strabismus. What should be done? It was just discovered, about a week ago.

Doctor's answer:

Hello! Based on your description, the above symptoms can be examined with a pupil dilation test to check for refractive errors. This situation also requires a pupil dilation check for the child to determine whether it is true or false myopia! It is recommended to have regular follow-up examinations. Pay attention to rest and ensure good sleep quality. Avoid watching TV, using mobile phones, and all electronic devices. It is suggested to see if wearing glasses can correct the vision. It is best to follow the advice of the examining doctor and actively cooperate with the treatment to wait and see.
