Question
How to Treat Pediatric Myopia?
Answer
Pediatric myopia often accompanies refractive errors. It is recommended to first go to the hospital for a detailed examination to determine the cause of the myopia. Then, wear glasses with the appropriate prescription as soon as possible and consistently. Every three months, you need to return to the hospital for a check-up on your glasses prescription, and replace new lenses promptly if there are any changes. Early detection and early treatment are key to achieving better outcomes. In daily life, be mindful of moderate eye use, keep away from computers and televisions, and teach children eye exercises. Often take children outdoors to look at green plants and distant landscapes. Additionally, provide a balanced diet for children, cultivating good eating habits, and ensure they consume plenty of vitamin and beta-carotene-rich foods, avoiding meat deficiencies and dietary imbalances, and eating fresh fruits and vegetables.
