Question
What are the standard vision requirements for children? If an 8-year-old child has a vision of 0.3 in the left eye and 0.5 in the right eye, what treatment should be administered?
Answer
Children’s vision development is influenced by both heredity and environmental eye habits. For the vision condition of this 8-year-old child, it is recommended to visit a regular hospital’s ophthalmology department for a detailed examination. If diagnosed with refractive errors, it is suggested to first use atropine eye ointment for dilation, adjust the prescription, and wear appropriate glasses for correction. Additionally, encourage the child to look at distant objects more often and participate in outdoor aerobic activities such as badminton and table tennis to promote healthy vision.
