Question
How should I handle my 7-year-old child’s myopia?
Answer
For a 7-year-old child with myopia, it is recommended to wear glasses with appropriate prescription to correct vision. For mild to moderate myopia, wearing glasses with the correct prescription can effectively improve vision. For high myopia, wearing glasses may make objects appear too small, cause dizziness, and make it difficult to see close objects, so the prescription should be adjusted accordingly. Since there are various factors that can lead to orbital disease and eye tumors, it is necessary to determine the cause before treatment and adopt targeted treatment for effectiveness. In addition, daily care is indispensable; it is suggested to drink more water and consume vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins.
