Patient's question:
The child is 5 years old. She said she noticed that things appear double. She was taken to the county hospital ophthalmology department for an examination. Her vision was 0.6 in one eye and 0.5 in the other, with mild strabismus as well. What should be done? It was just discovered, about a week ago.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Based on your description, the symptoms mentioned can be examined with a pupil dilation test to check for refractive errors. This situation also requires a dilation test 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 for observation.
