Question
Recently, a 6-year-old child has shown abnormal vision when looking at objects. After an ophthalmologist’s examination, it was diagnosed as myopia with astigmatism. Parents are concerned about whether this condition can be recovered and how to proceed with treatment?
Answer
Myopia and astigmatism are often congenital issues. Once diagnosed, it is recommended to visit a regular hospital as soon as possible to wear appropriate glasses to avoid affecting visual development. During the treatment process, it may be necessary to cover the left eye appropriately for about two hours a day, while fine-tuning training is conducted on the right eye. Once binocular vision is balanced, the above treatment measures can be gradually reduced. It is strongly recommended to visit the hospital for a detailed examination and treatment as soon as possible. In daily life, it is important to ensure adequate rest, avoid excessive eye use, and increase the intake of foods rich in vitamins.
