Patient's question:
How can I know if my child has astigmatism? This condition has been going on for some time, and I'm hesitant to give medication. Please give me some advice from the doctor.Doctor's answer:
The vision of children is a gradual process of improvement, as the development of the eyeball is not yet perfect, accompanied by a certain degree of hyperopia and astigmatism. Astigmatism is normal as long as it is not amblyopia, and there is no need to be anxious. Generally, by the age of six, vision reaches normal 1.0 or above. Astigmatism below 100 degrees is classified as low-degree astigmatism.Advice: If the astigmatism is above 100 degrees, uncorrected vision will not reach 0.9 or above. It is generally recommended to have a follow-up examination after wearing glasses for half a year.
