Question
The child has been saying for two weeks that they can’t see things clearly. After a detailed examination at the hospital, the vision was found to be 0.6. The doctor prescribed three days of mydriatic eye drops and suggested a re-examination in 20 days, mentioning the possibility of needing to wear glasses. Hello, is this myopia? What kind of assistance do I need: Hello, the child is so young, what could be the cause, is it myopia? If it is myopia, can we not wear glasses? How can we correct it? Thank you.
Answer
Hello, we initially believe that your child indeed has myopia. If it is myopia, we strongly recommend wearing glasses. Glasses are not only a means to correct vision but also prevent further deepening of the myopia degree. We suggest you go to a regular ophthalmology department for an eye examination to determine the accurate prescription. When getting fitted for glasses, follow the principle: use the lowest degree of lenses that provide the best vision. Additionally, wearing contact lenses (corneal contact lenses) is also an option.
