Question
An 8-year-old child has myopia of S:1.25 in the right eye and S:2.75 in the left eye. Is this considered myopia?
Answer
The doctor recommends maintaining good eye hygiene, performing eye exercises daily, and reducing exposure to electronic devices. During an ophthalmological examination, the S value represents the refractive power, with a positive value indicating myopia and a negative value indicating hyperopia, while the C value represents astigmatism. It is advised to undergo treatment under medical guidance.
