Patient's question:
A child is five years old. After a dilated eye exam, the left eye has 50 degrees of myopia and 150 degrees of astigmatism, while the right eye has 75 degrees of myopia and 175 degrees of astigmatism. How should this be treated? Is it necessary to wear glasses? Can it be cured? Can glasses be avoided? What are the precautions to take?Doctor's answer:
If you don't wear it. You won't be able to see clearly in class. For a long time. It will affect the child's learning. Additionally. For a long time you won't be able to see clearly. The degree of visual fatigue will become deeper and deeper. It's not because you wear glasses that it deepens. That's a mistake. If you don't want to pick it up. It's because your glasses can see clearly. Your vision can also be normal. If the degree of your glasses changes. You need to change the lenses or the lenses will increase the depth of the lenses. When the child is so young. It's necessary to control eye hygiene. Regular check-ups. Avoid eating too much candy.
