Question

I don’t understand my son’s eye examination results and would like to consult a doctor. His prescription is R:SCA+1.50-0.371+1.50-0.25174*+1.50-0.25174 L:+2.25-0.25173, and I want to know if it’s due to him always playing computer games and watching TV.

Answer

Based on your child’s condition, the prescription indicates that he has myopia and amblyopia, which should be treated early. This is generally not related to trachoma, and it is recommended that you take your child to the ophthalmology department of the hospital for vision correction. The sooner the correction, the better the outcome; it becomes more difficult to correct after the child reaches 12 years old. My friend says that since children are young and the prescription is not high, it is easy to correct. Appropriate computer use can help correct amblyopia, but attention should be paid to prevent children from becoming addicted to the internet.
