Question
My child is 8 years old, and the school check-up report shows that the right eye has a diopter of 1.25 and the left eye of 2.75. Is this myopia? I want to know if you have made a mistake in the numbers.
Answer
According to the report, the child has indeed been diagnosed with myopia, with a right eye diopter of 1.25 and a left eye of 2.75. The eyes have a difference of 150 degrees, indicating uneven eye development. It is important to pay attention to eye hygiene, perform eye exercises daily, and limit exposure to electronic products such as televisions and smartphones. General eye examinations include S values and C values, where S represents the diopter; a positive value indicates myopia, while a negative value indicates myopia, and C represents astigmatism.
