Question
I would like to inquire about children’s vision standards. My son is 8 years old, and his left eye vision is 0.3, while his right eye vision is 0.5. What should be the treatment approach?
Answer
Considering the possibility of congenital genetic and developmental issues, as well as postnatal improper eye usage and lack of outdoor activities leading to refractive errors, it is recommended to take the baby to a regular hospital’s ophthalmology department for a check-up. If there are indeed issues, one can initially use atropine eye ointment for mydriasis to adjust the prescription, and then wear appropriate glasses for correction. In daily life, it is important to let the baby look at distant objects more often and participate in outdoor aerobic exercises, such as badminton and table tennis.
