Question
My child has developed myopia, one eye is -1.75 and the other is -2.75. I want to know the best treatment method, is it only necessary to wear glasses?
Answer
Based on your description, in addition to wearing glasses, your child can also consider using orthokeratology. This is a type of rigid gas-permeable contact lens that is worn overnight before bedtime. It is removed in the morning. It can maintain clear vision throughout the day without the need for glasses. It can also slow down the progression of myopia. The cost is higher. On average, a new pair is needed every two years.
