Question
At 5 years old, she says she sees things as double. I brought 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 strabismus. What should I do? This was just discovered a week ago.
Answer
Based on your description, these symptoms could indicate a need for a dilated eye exam to check for refractive errors. This situation also requires a dilated examination for the baby to determine whether it’s true myopia or false myopia! It is recommended to have regular check-ups. Pay attention to rest and ensure good sleep quality; avoid watching TV and using smartphones and all electronic products. It is suggested to see if glasses can correct the vision. It’s best to listen to the opinion of the examining doctor and actively cooperate with treatment and observation.
