Question
Male, 5 years old, has myopia and recently his eyes have been very itchy, especially red, with some blood vessels. After examination, it was said that the child has a weak strabismus. How should a child’s myopia and astigmatism be treated?
Answer
Based on your description, your child’s weak vision is caused by astigmatism. It is recommended that you take your child to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for a mydriasis examination and prescription of glasses. Alternatively, you can use the method of covering the healthy eye to train the vision of the weak eye. Different causes can lead to different symptoms, so patients should seek systematic and standardized examinations at regular three-level A hospitals as soon as possible to receive symptomatic treatment. In addition, patients should maintain regular work and rest times in their daily lives, do well in preventing colds and keeping warm, eat light and soft foods, and often ventilate and drink hot water. Please note that the above suggestions are for reference only. Please take your child to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for detailed examinations and consultations to obtain professional medical advice and treatment plans.
