What to Pay Attention to for a 6-Year-Old Child with 500-Degree Myopia and Astigmatism

Question

The girl is 6 years old and sits very close to the TV, saying she can’t see clearly if she sits further away. A hospital examination revealed symptoms of strabismus. I am very worried about my child’s condition. For a 6-year-old child with 500-degree myopia and astigmatism, what should be taken into account?

Answer

If a child has poor eyesight, after confirming the condition through regular hospital follow-ups, in addition to following the doctor’s instructions for correction, ensuring good eye hygiene in daily life is also quite important. Children are in a period of growth and development, so it’s important to ensure that they get enough deep sleep so that their eyes can rest adequately. Try to limit the child’s use of electronic products and avoid excessive reading time. Looking at distant objects more often and eating more green vegetables and fruits can be beneficial for a child’s eyesight.
