Patient's question:
Can astigmatism in children be treated? This condition has been present in the child for some time, and they are hesitant to take medication. Please provide some advice from a doctor.Doctor's answer:
Methods for correcting astigmatism mainly involve wearing glasses. Astigmatism glasses have special curves at certain angles to correct the astigmatism in the patient's eyes. Contact lenses or laser surgery can also correct astigmatism. For mild astigmatism (less than 50 degrees), most people do not need correction. However, those who work in precision manufacturing or need to read small text for long periods may consider wearing glasses. If you want to reduce the frequency of degree increases, you should only wear them in class.
