Question
At 5 years old, she says she sees things in doubles. I took her to the county hospital’s ophthalmology department for a check-up, and her vision is 0.6 in one eye and 0.5 in the other, with a slight astigmatism. What should I do? This was just discovered a week ago.
Answer
Hello! Based on your description, these symptoms can be investigated through a mydriatic examination to see if there is any refractive error. This situation also requires a mydriatic examination for the baby to determine whether it is true myopia or false myopia! It is recommended to have regular follow-ups. Pay attention to rest and ensure good sleep quality; avoid watching TV, using smartphones, and all electronic products. It is suggested to see if wearing glasses can correct the vision. It’s best to listen to the opinion of the examining doctor and actively cooperate with treatment and observation.
